One of the most important questions we’ll ever ask about marriage is this:
Why do some marriages fall apart in a crisis while others develop a stronger bond in the face of the most impossible life pressures?
Each of us wants to grow a relationship that not just survives, but thrives in times of pain and stress. Today’s guests, Carol and Gene Kent, give us encouraging tools to build staying power into our marriage. From their own journey through struggle, they help us understand
- The shocking crisis that tested the strength of their relationship
- The “pre-decisions” that prepare your marriage for adversity
- How to become a team who tackles challenges together
- How to cultivate an “unoffendable” and forgiving spirit toward one another
- What it means to trust God—together—to carry you through
- How to meet each other’s needs when you’re grieving or stressed
- The healing power of serving others
