About this episode

We have heard you loud and clear…we want more Dave Meyer! So it’s time for a marriage discussion, part 2, that you don’t want to miss.  In this episode, Dave’s back on the pink couch with Joyce, Ginger, and Erin to talk through even more of the many lessons they’ve learned in their nearly 57 years married that will help you think the right way when it comes to your spouse so you can maintain, build, or prepare for a loving, godly, life-giving marriage. 

And make sure you check out episode 67 to hear part 1 with Dave and Joyce!

WALK IT OUT:

How are you thinking about yourself? How are you thinking about your spouse? Ask God to help you see the way your thoughts are taking you when it comes to your spouse. If something surfaces that you need to deal with, invite Him to help you know the right timing, wording, and approach so you can reach a solution where you both win.

Also, dive into 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, and ask God to help you both to love each other well as you relate to each other. No marriage is perfect, but God’s love is, and as we lean on Him to help us, He’ll give us grace to be more and more like Him in the ways we relate to our spouse. 

Scriptures: Colossians 3:14 – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
