    Surrendering to God Changed Our Marriage

    A surrendered marriage doesn't begin with a perfect spouse—it begins with two hearts fully surrendered to God.What does a surrendered marriage actually look like?It looks like choosing humility over pride.It looks like extending grace instead of keeping score.It looks like praying together, forgiving quickly, serving one another, and trusting God's design even when it's difficult.Before God calls us to surrender to each other, He first calls us to surrender to Him. When our hearts are yielded to Christ, our marriages become a reflection of His love, faithfulness, and sacrifice.Join us as we take a deep dive into what Scripture says about being a surrendered person and how that transforms a marriage. Together, we'll discover what it means to lay down our own will, embrace God's purpose, and build a relationship that honors Him.🎥 Watch, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don't miss a single episode of this powerful series:https://youtube.com/@better2getherwithdennisandloniWe'd love to hear from you!

    In this podcast episode, we discuss stonewalling in relationships, a concept identified by renowned relationship researcher John Gottman. Stonewalling occurs when one partner withdraws, shuts down, or avoids communication during conflict. We examine the impact of emotional flooding, the role of the "Four Horsemen," and evidence-based techniques for healthier conflict resolution and stronger relationships.Topics covered:What stonewalling isSigns of emotional withdrawalWhy people shut down during conflictEmotional flooding and stress responsesGottman's Four HorsemenHealthy alternatives to stonewallingTips for improving communication in relationships#Relationships #Communication #JohnGottman #Stonewalling #ConflictResolution #Marriage #MentalHealth #CouplesTherapy #Podcast #relationshipadvice#podcast #couples #marriageadvice #marriageadviceformen #marriageadviceformen#ytviral #ytshorts #ytviral#viral #viralvideos #hottopic Subscribe for biblical marriage advice, relationship coaching, and real conversations that help couples stay and grow together.Looking for pre-marital or post-marital counseling?

    What I did I do?: Defensiveness

    Why do we become defensive when we feel criticized, misunderstood, or hurt? In this episode, we explore Dr. John Gottman’s research on defensiveness and how it impacts communication in marriage, family, and everyday relationships. Through a Christian perspective, we discuss how fear, pride, and insecurity can keep us from truly hearing one another and how God calls us to respond with humility, patience, and grace.Together, we’ll talk about practical ways to lower defensiveness, improve communication, and create healthier conversations rooted in love and respect. We’ll also reflect on biblical principles such as being “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry,” while learning how confession, forgiveness, and empathy can strengthen relationships.Whether you are married, dating, leading a family, or simply trying to grow emotionally and spiritually, this episode offers encouragement and practical tools to help you communicate with wisdom, peace, and Christ-centered love.If you’re struggling in your marriage or want to strengthen your relationship before problems grow, this episode is for you.👉 Subscribe for biblical marriage advice, relationship coaching, and real conversations that help couples stay and grow together.Looking for pre-marital or post-marital counseling?
