    This man is mature! Last video shocked me that he was 11years her junior but oh boy that man sounds like a wise Old man. I’ve been challenged to see relationships on a deep level. And thanks to the both of you for unraveling boxes for us. The introspection of seeing our partner goes beyond a check list and expectations. Thank you for opening your home to us through these podcasts. I’m growing

    Just a few minutes in (where the discussion of the ongoing process of refining our mindset) and I am reminded of the verse that speaks about Jesus being the “author and perfecter of our faith” - it has me thinking about how indeed our faith walk will forever be a journey that is only perfected (completed) by Christ himself (I assume in eternity as is also highlighted in the promise on the cross).

All in all...when two people first get married...there is usually a period of adjustment for the both of them.

    It really begins with the desire to want to know God intimately. 1) Study the word 1/24 JOSHUA 1:8-8 (AMP) 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. 2) Find teachers of the Word that bring enlightenment to your soul. 3) Find people that are on the same journey to spiritual growth and continually fellowship with them. 10/13 HEBREWS 10:25-25 (AMP) 25 Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching. Those are my two cents. - FK

    How about we just live as simple beings rather than thinking deeply about each and every thing. A coin has 2 sides totally different. A woman can never think like a man or a man who thinks like a woman. But we can compliment each other and support each of her. Let's enjoy each others differences. This makes a relationship more exciting than a systematic school.
