In this episode Dr. Kim and Christina talk about this concept the Bible teaches about “speaking the truth in love.”    Out of love and grace for each other sometimes we don’t want to say the hard things even if they are true. But to love is to tell the truth. We especially do want to tell the truth to our spouse.    In this episode Dr. Kim and Christina got into detail about what it means to speak the truth to your spouse and how to do it. They also talk about how to not take this too far by sharing about when it’s best to not speak up because there is certainly a time and place for that as well.    We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.      Subscribe to Podcast Email to make sure you never miss an episode and get noteworthy quotes, resources, and more delivered straight to your inbox!    *Music for this podcast is created by Noah Copeland.

Accepting the gift of grace God has granted us and living in that grace.   If you struggle with self condemnation and beating yourself up we pray this episode encourages and inspires you.    A grace filled marriage is an awesome marriage and this goes in every direction. Holding onto things and beating yourself up will affect your marriage because an unhealthy you makes for an unhealthy marriage. But a healthy you makes for a healthy marriage.

In this episode Dr. Kim and Christina talk all about confession in marriage. What confession is, why it’s important, what it should look like in marriage, and how to do it.  Confession isn’t something that we hear a lot about which is odd because it’s a pretty essential Christian practice. It’s tied to repentance and the gospel and living a reformed life.  Whether you have never thought about confession in your life, or you have weird thoughts about it being tied to Catholicism, or you do try to confess on a regular basis - we think you’ll find what Dr. Kim has to say in this episode helpful.  We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.      Subscribe to Podcast Email to make sure you never miss an episode and get noteworthy quotes, resources, and more delivered straight to your inbox!    *Music for this podcast is created by Noah Copeland.

In this episode Dr. Kim and Christina talk about what to do when you want your husband to lead spiritually.   At least once a week we get a comment or question about this, which tells me many of you are struggling with this. Well today we want to provide some helpful insight into what to do when you are in this position. We want to clarify what is and isn’t your responsibility in this as the wife. We also want to share some helpful things to do to encourage your husband and share some UNhelpful things to avoid doing.    Before you go ahead and forward this episode to your husband - DON’T! Next week Dr. Kim & Christina are going to be talking directly to the men about this topic. This episode is for you ladies. Fellas can tune in, but this is not the episode to forward to your husband.    We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.    Subscribe to Podcast Email to make sure you never miss an episode and get noteworthy quotes, resources, and more delivered straight to your inbox!    *Music for this podcast is created by Noah Copeland.
