Customer Reviews
Wisdom but not always on topic
I really appreciate the truths the come out of these podcasts. Even offhanded comments help to foster understanding and love between spouses. Lots of really good wisdom here!
I do wish though that the podcasts were more direct and on topic. For example, I listened to the “when your spouse doesn’t receive positive affirmation” podcast in order to seek specific wisdom about that topic. There was one comment at the beginning that was helpful, about how it’s not our responsibility but we can be either a cheerleader or an enemy in our spouse’s life. But the rest was talking generally about trust and such… and didn’t give me any clear help or advice.
Appreciate the podcasts
Wish they were the whole conversation or longer…
Perspective shifting
Thank you for who each of you are in Christ. Thank you for this ministry and the impact it makes in marriages like mine.
