When we speak of taming the tongue, we often focus on how we shouldn’t be using our tongues, but this week we examine how we should be using words, shifting the conversation away from basic self-control into truly speaking words of life.

All humans bring both strengths and weaknesses to the table, and our marriages are so much better off when we focus on our spouse’s positive contributions rather than fixating on reasons to criticize.

When the going gets tough, does your marriage suffer, or is it a place of refuge? This week we reflect on the way trials shape our marriages for worse or (hopefully) for better, and how our attitudes and approaches shape that outcome.
