How would your marriage improve if you began to be thankful for the Lord for the spouse He has given you. If you by faith approach your spouse with gratefulness that is expressed by loving them with a sacrificial heart, would things look different at home? Today our team talks about being thankful for our spouse because of our relationship with the Lord.

Let's talk about love!!! Today our CFL Team points us toward the Love of Christ as a model for our own marriage. Listen in as you are encouraged to love as Christ loves.

Unity is so important in our marriages. Satan's goal is to steal, kill, and destroy!! When we don't see eye to eye how do we approach the disagreement? Today we spend a few minutes discussing this topic and look to scripture to get a better understanding from God's Word.

All of us had examples of marriage. Perhaps good ones or bad ones, but all were and are affected by marriage. Today we want to encourage you to see your marriage as important to the Lord and also to you kids and sphere of influence. Perhaps, by the way you love, forgive, and sacrifice for each other it may be an example to others to emulate!!

The answer to why God created marriage and why get married provide purpose in your marital relationship. You cannot experience oneness in marriage if you are not unified in your purpose for being together.  Listen in today as our team discusses God's original intent for marriage.  The first purpose is, to reflect the image of God.

What does the Holy Spirit have to do with marriage? Listen in today as we share with you the power that comes from the Holy Spirit that will strengthen your marriage.

Too often we try to change each other to be what we selfishly want each other to be, but God knows best and He has given us His personal perfect provision in our spouse. Let God write the story, it is so much better.

Over time we begin to lose the flame of romance. Things we used to laugh at we no longer laugh at, the joy is gone. Listen in, as we encourage , not only you, but ourselves to strengthen your marriage by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that you can get back to that romance, even in the midst of your reality, and the tensions in the home.
