Everyone struggles with relationships, faces temptations, and has regrets. If we want to improve our relationships, we don't have to be perfect. We just have to be open, honest, and willing to shift.
It takes bravery to live in relationship. If we want our children to learn bravery, we can teach them by helping them practice, leading by example, and being part of a community that lives bravely together.
In a busy culture, few people feel like they have time for friends, but friends are a gift from God, and when we make time for them, we can experience the support, encouragement, and joy that only friendship can bring.
The #1 thing you can do for the health of your marriage is to become healthy yourself. So, how can we help one another become emotionally healthy? Dr. Mark Foster shares three questions to consider before getting married and biblical guidance for loving well.
The Bible is full of real people with real relationship challenges we can all learn from if we are willing to see ourselves in the stories of the people of God. Dr. Mark Foster explains the four relationship challenges from Judges 16 as we learn what NOT to do from Samson and Delilah.
The beginning of marriage is exciting, but it's also challenging--particularly when you realize your spouse's habits, expectations, and dreams are much different than your own. And when children enter the picture, everything else goes out the window as we just try to get by. But when we clothe ourselves with the character of Jesus, we can learn to navigate difference and conflict so that we're able "to love and to cherish" one another for a lifetime.
