How God Uses One Spouse To Save The Most Toxic Marriages & Relationships May 23, 2022

How God can use one spouse to save the most toxic failing marriages in the world!
You're trying to...
invite your spouse into marriage counseling and they will not go
invite your spouse to read the books that you're reading and they won't do it
better your marriage and your relationship but you are in a relationship with the spouses completely unwilling to take steps forward
BUT it feels like...
you're just beating your head against the wall
you're destined to fail because you feel like it takes two to tango but your spouse is not moving whatsoever
you feel like a fool because your spouse is making you look bad in front of your friends and your friends are telling you you should quit
you want to treat your spouse the way that they treat you
Scripture:
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14).
Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? (Romans 2:4)
We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

How To Reclaim Intimacy and Reconnect After Cheating l EPS 37 May 09, 2020

3 Big Ideas:
✅The best apology is changed behavior. Changed behavior comes from God. You can change.
✅We forgive even though we still remember. Forgiving someone does not mean you no longer feel the pain of their offense.
✅Extend the same forgiveness that you've been given. God in Christ forgave us by absorbing in himself the destructive and painful consequences of our sin against him.
Ephesians 4:32 And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

✅ Starting the Conversation with a realtor is FREE! You don’t pay the realtor that helps you buy a home. The seller of the home normally pays for all the realtors involved.
✅ You can use the equity built in your first home as the down payments for your next (bigger and better) home or start a business, college fund, etc.
✅ On average you only have to stay in a home for 5 years in order to have enough equity built in to profit from selling it.
✅ If you’re the "friend with a good job”. Buy a house and have your friends pay you rent.

5 Love Languages l Episode 16 Jun 12, 2019

In this episode, we explore the 5 love languages.
[01:30] How to keep your God as your source instead of your spouse?
[09:30] Why should we study the 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman?
There are other booksThe 5 love languages for kids, teenagers, singles & military edition.
https://www.5lovelanguages.com/resources/books/
[11:15] What are the 5 emotional Love Languages?
l. Words of affirmation – using words to build up the other person. “
2. Gifts – a gift says, “He was thinking about me. Look what he got for me.”
3. Acts of Service – Doing something for your spouse that you know they would like. For example, cooking a meal, washing dishes, vacuuming floors, are all acts of service.
4. Quality time – by which I mean, giving your spouse your undivided attention. Taking a walk together or sitting on the couch with the TV off – talking and listening.
5. Physical touch-holding hands, hugging, kissing, sexual intercourse, are all expressions of love.
[13:30] Why are they called different “Languages”? If you have to communicate with another person and you don’t speak their language it’s just pointing grunting and broken communication. No matter how hard you try to communicate love in your primary language IF you don’t speak your spouse's language it will not translate into them feeling loved.
[14:30] Marriage Confession = We did not speak each other’s language.
[20:20] Who cares... Love is love, right? No. Being sincere is not enough. We must be willing to learn our spouse's primary love languages and choose to love them in their language for a long period of time (without conditions). Learn your language to effectively share with your spouse what you want.

This episode is all about securing the bag.

I enjoy being on the same page as Lashaude. Being able to agree on goals with him and as a team see our goal accomplished.
"Baby Step 1" and the others were fun for me to accomplish. It made me feel like we were a couple moving forward and getting stuff done.
-It'll take about 3 months to get the budget consistent.
- We were made to be a river, not a reservoir. Blessings were meant to flow through you not just to you. They are from God through you to others.
Hurt people hurt people. Blessed people bless people
-Stewardship means "We own nothing.“
"Every faculty you have, your power of thinking or of moving your limbs from moment to moment, is given you by God. If you devoted every moment of your whole life exclusively to His service, you could not give Him anything that was not in a sense His own already."
– C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
A budget puts your money on a mission. You can have more fun with a plan than you can without one. If you fail to plan then you plan to fail.
Saving $1000 is not for if something happens but WHEN something happens. These are wise healthy habits that inheriting wealth can’t teach you.

[02:20] What’s the topic for today? How the past is poisoning the present.
[03:00] Don’t believe the myth that you and your spouse both agree on the expectations for your marriage. Instead, remember that the more openly you work to express these expectations the more you can manage expectations.
[04:00] We are the plug for the certified SYMBIS Assessment.
[04:20] The expectations you bring into the marriage need to be expressed.
[05:35] What are the unspoken expectations that you have in your marriage? How are could they be negatively affecting or frustrating your marriage?
[06:40] It’s never to late to reevaluate the expectations that you have for your marriage with your spouse.
[06:50] What to do when you start to find out your spouse isn’t meeting your expectations?
[07:50] How are you going to manage your expectations? Frustration = unmet expectations.
[09:20] Your overall personal well being does affect your marriage. What personal challenges have you brought into the marriage but have neglected to address?
Overall well-being is a measure of emotional and spiritual health of the individuals within the marriage. A couple's relationship can only be as healthy as the two individuals within a relationship. Trying to build high levels of intimacy with others before you've properly managed your own emotional spiritual health is dangerous. This is where many couples find themselves searching for a spouse to complete them.
Marriage mathematics is not 2 halves make a whole it’s two (whole) people coming together as one.
Marriage mathematics should be two whole people become one (1+1=2) not two halves becoming one( ½ + ½ = 1).
[09:15] Podcast Giveaway Winners!
You don't want to put your spouse in a position the God was intended to feel. There's a certain level of healing reserved for God to perform not your spouse.
[15:05] Mutual empathy for one another can be the number one tool to resolve or avoid most conflicts within marriage.
[15:50] Here we discuss one of the best ideas we have for handling conflict.
1. Listen to their complaint.
2. Respond with “What I hear you saying is___.Am I right?”
3. If wrong go DIRECTLY back to step #1.
You don’t have to “win” or finish an argument on the spot. When needed ask for time to craft an appropriate response.
[18:20] Marriage is a process of leaving and cleaving.
Ephesians 5:31- "For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
