Why Tackling the Challenges in Marriage is Always Worth It with Tom and Marcia Kuyper (Part 2)

Lifted to Hope

In this episode, we explore the often unexpected amount of effort that meaningful relationships require and why they are worth every bit of it. Relationships, especially in marriage, are God’s gifts to us, and He calls us to make them a priority. While we can't control the choices of our spouses, we can commit to pursuing them with genuine intention, empowered by God's guidance.

I'm joined once again by Marriage and Family Pastors, Tom and Marcia Kuyper, as we dive into some challenging yet crucial topics. We discuss the complexities of hidden behaviors, the transformative power of forgiveness, and the importance of choosing obedience to God, even when it feels impossible. We also highlight how affirmation can breathe new life and hope into a marriage.

This conversation reminds us that when a husband and a wife trust God with their relationships, He can work wonders. Tune in to discover how you can nurture and strengthen your most important relationships, starting with your marriage.
