    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!

    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?

    The Silent Killer In Marriage No One Wants To Talk

    In this episode, we discuss one of the silent killers in marriage that many couples avoid talking about—issues like poor communication, pride, unforgiveness, and emotional distance that slowly weaken a relationship over time.We also talk about the spiritual side of marriage. God designed marriage to be built on unity and love, but the devil often tries to bring division between couples through misunderstanding, offense, temptation, and unresolved conflict.When couples keep God at the center through prayer, humility, and honest communication, they can recognize these attacks and protect their relationship. Unity becomes possible when both partners choose to stand together instead of allowing division to grow.Join us as we have an honest conversation about faith, marriage, and how to guard your relationship while keeping God at the center. 🎙️🎥 Watch the episode here:https://youtu.be/eZgo7c4-4II📅 New Episodes Every Other Tuesday at 6 PM CST👉 Subscribe to the channel so you never miss a conversation about faith, marriage, relationships, and growing together in God.Connect With Us:Subscribe here: https://youtube.com/@better2getherwithdennisandloni
