    94|A Healthy Christ-Centered Home Begins with a Healthy Marriage Covenant

    A healthy Christ-centered home begins with a healthy marriage covenant, not with better routines, cleaner homes, or even improved parenting, even though those are important.  In this episode, we'll explore why the relationship between husband and wife sets the foundation for the entire family, how marriage impacts the atmosphere of the home, and practical ways couples can cultivate greater unity, connection, and spiritual health. You'll learn how to invest in your marriage to strengthen your home and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. ______________________________________________________________________________ Joslyn's Information: Joslyn@speaklifejos.com SYMBIS Assessment Overview Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yjS3HOmruI The cost of the Assessment itself is $35. The cost for working through the facilitation process with me is on a sliding scale, based on the couple's needs. My standard amount to facilitate the SYMBIS, with coaching and the assessment included, is $250. Sessions are usually spread out over multiple weeks to take our time going through each section. However, I have worked with couples where we do a higher-level overview in a shorter span of time, and they dive deeper during their pre-marital counseling. My heart is to meet couples where they are, with scholarships included if needed–so please reach out to me via e-mail if you are interested in going through the process (joslyn@speaklifejos.com).  Here is the book bundle if you are interested in purchasing it: https://store.lesandleslie.com/collections/saving-your-marriage-before-it-starts/products/saving-your-marriage-before-it-starts-bundle You can read through the books completely separate from the SYMBIS assessment at any point and time❣️ ______________________________________________________________________________ Connect with LaRissa J: Faith Focused: A 31-Day Devotional  https://toddlermomdiaries.com/shop 📖 BLOG: https://www.toddlermomdiaries.com 🎙️ PODCAST https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/toddler-mom-diaries-podcast-christian-family-teaching/id1685661703 Book List: Love and Respect by Emerson Eggrichs https://amzn.to/43ORNVD Created To Be His Help Meet: 10th Anniversary Edition by Debi Pearl https://amzn.to/4xaYH52 The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian https://amzn.to/4xmVCzc

It was polygamy that was permissible at that time. This was before the 10 commandments were received. However, this concept is too deep for a toddler and may be translated as adultery to them. Thus, it is a biblical theme that doesn't need a deep dive for young learners.   Sending love, LaRissa J S3.E7
