This seems simple enough, but we all do it. So, next time you start to argue, step back, take a deep breath and count to 10. 2. Don’t withdraw from the argument. Disagreeing actually means you care. Oft en withdrawing from an argument doesn’t make the problem go away. 3. Don’t belittle your spouse. Name calling is a verbal hand grenade for your marriage. Words like, “you’re...

Marriage Talk Podcast

Welcome to the Marriage Talk Podcast - Ep 183 - Is The Perfect Marriage Pure Fiction? Is there such a thing as the perfect marriage? The spouse God gave us is all we will ever need in our marriage. Satan will try to get you to believe that there is someone “better” out there, but don’t be fooled, we’re all fallen creatures that have scars and pasts and baggage. When you grasp the idea that your spouse, given to you by God, is all you ever need, you start looking at that person in an entirely different light. Looking for the good and not the bad; the helpful not the hurtful, and your...

Welcome to the Marriage Talk Podcast - Ep 167 - Making Your Marriage A Fortress w/ Gary Thomas. We're joined by best-selling author, speaker, and Pastor Gary Thomas to explore the wisdom in his newest book, "Making Your Marriage A Fortress: Strengthening Your Marriage To Withstand Life's Storms.

The wisdom and insight every couple needs to keep your marriage together when the trials of life threaten to rip it apart and how you can fortify your marriage ahead of time.

Every marriage will face disaster. Illness or cancer. Job loss or financial burdens. Addiction. Anxiety. Infidelity. Loss of faith. It's not a question of if your marriage will face trials. It's a question of when.

Whether you've been married for five years or fifty, your marriage will either become part of the problem or part of the solution, and it's within your power to ensure your marriage is prepared for those seasons, is a place of refuge and safety throughout those seasons, and can recover well after those seasons.

In Making Your Marriage a Fortress, Gary Thomas, bestselling author of Sacred Marriage, guides you and your spouse in building a marriage that can withstand any storm or difficult season. In these pages, you will . . .

  • Discover helpful and practical principles to protect your marriage from any struggle
  • Learn to detect the warning signs of trouble and how to act on them
  • Understand how the state of your marriage is magnified during a crisis and how to improve it
  • Be encouraged through stories from Gary's marriage, as well as others, that you and your spouse are not alone
  • Gain spiritual insight about God's view of marriage and how to live it out in all circumstances--for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, till death do you part

Every marriage will face setbacks and seasons of disappointment, but this book will help you keep your marriage strong before and after a setback happens.
