    For this week’s podcast, Ashley and Dino, of @arrowsandbow, are touching on a topic that often comes along with marriage, and that is parenting. What is their parenting style? Would they consider themselves strict parents? How are they raising their four children to protect them, but also equip them for the world? Hint, it involves a LOT of talking. The two explain how they’ve combined aspects of their own upbringings in order to ensure they are raising godly children who are able to self-monitor and self-adjust.

    #18 - Love the Wife of Your Youth

    Ashley and Dino are getting a little nostalgic and taking it back to when they were newly married, aka children. They are looking back on the commitment they made over 18 years ago and how it's only grown and been made stronger since then, with the help of the Lord, of course. They also touch on how the world often looks at marriage as a sacrifice when in reality there is so much to be gained, what it means to “love the wife of your youth”, what depth of intimacy really means, and how to ask God for the desire to want to make changes in your marriage.
