Welcome to the Marriage Talk Podcast - Ep 186 - Your Guide To Arguing Properly

Dr. Gary Smalley had some great tips for couples when they

argue. They are:

1. Don’t escalate the argument. This seems simple enough, but we all do it. So, next time you start to argue, step back, take a deep breath and count to 10.

2. Don’t withdraw from the argument. Disagreeing actually means you care. Oft en withdrawing from an argument doesn’t make the problem go away.

3. Don’t belittle your spouse. Name calling is a verbal hand grenade for your marriage. Words like, “you’re so stubborn,” or, “you’re such a brat,” can never solve an argument.

4. Don’t project on your spouse something they are not. If your husband isn’t ready to buy a new couch, don’t call him cheap. If your wife wants a new dress, don’t call her a diva.

Welcome to the Marriage Talk Podcast - Ep 184 - Is Your Wife A "Weaker Vessel" or Fine China?

1 Peter 3:7 reads,

“Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live

with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker

vessel and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so

that nothing will hinder your prayers.”

Th is is perhaps one of the most controversial passages of Scripture when it comes to marriage, because no woman wants to be considered as a “weaker vessel.” However, if we dig deeper into the meaning of the phrase “weaker vessel,” it is actually a term the ancients used for fine china. It was called weaker vessel because it was not as clunky as everyday dishes.

So let’s read that again: “Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as fine china....”

Now there is a great example of how to treat our wives. And the result? Our prayers will not be hindered!

Welcome to the Marriage Talk Podcast - Ep 183 - Is The Perfect Marriage Pure Fiction?

Is there such a thing as the perfect marriage?

The spouse God gave us is all we will ever need in our marriage. Satan will try to get you to believe that

there is someone “better” out there, but don’t be fooled, we’re all fallen creatures that have scars and pasts and baggage. When you grasp the idea that your spouse, given to you by God, is all you ever need, you start looking at that person in an entirely different light.

Looking for the good and not the bad; the helpful not the hurtful, and your marriage grows strong.
