In this podcast I talk about the importance of growth in the home. Somethings what you need in your marriage is to out grow the issue. When you grow up the issue become much smaller. Always remember that marriage is a journey and not a destination. Love Always. ~U.E

In this episode I talk about maturity in marriage. I talk about what immaturity is and the importance of maturity in the marriage. To Mature? Means having reached the most advanced stage in a process Fully developed physically; full-grown 1 Corinthian 13:11 “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things” Ability to delay gratification Determines the success of that relationship Immaturity = Speak ⇒ Understand  ⇒ Thought maturity = Thought  ⇒ Understand  ⇒ Speak As always marriage is a journey and not a destination

In this episode I talk about the intersection between Faith and Marriage. I describe faith and I talk about what marriage is all about. When Couples exchange their vows and get married, it is usually because They love each other They want to spend the rest of their lives together It is usually not because they want To make each others life a living hell Or to make their spouse sad, depressed and unfilled In most cases people get married because they have a certainly level of faith in that person to decide to get married to that person. What is Faith? Hebrews 11:1 “ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen” Faith is taking actions based on your convictions Marriage essentially is the union between man and woman in holy matrimony. Issues in marriage will attack your faith in your marriage and not just your faith. Lingering issues in the home attack your belief system in your marriage Issues have come to attack your convictions to marry your spouse. Issues have come to attack your conviction to marry your spouse. They have come to attack the reason why you decided to marry your spouse. As always marriage is journey and not a destination. The bible is the blue print and Holy Spirit is your Guide.

In this podcast I talk about the advantage we have in our home. You know scripture uses the word "Help" to describe two individuals. The Holy Spirit and Eve (woman). I talk about how to recognize the value in our homes and leverage it. The accountability partner you seek might being starring you in your face at home. Always remember that marriage is a journey and not a destination. Love Always. ~U.E

In this episode I talk about expectations in marriage, how you reconcile different expectations in marriage, the difference between expectation vs reality and ways you can navigate different expectations.  I also define expectations in marriage and the three primary sources of expectations in marriage. Some areas where expectations fall short. Money: Joint or separate bank accounts? Who will manage our money? Husband or Wife Sex/Romance/Affection: How often do we have sex? Are sex toys allowed? In-laws/Extended Family: What is the level of involvement our in-laws? Children: How many children? Public vs private school? Disciple style? Work/Career: Is travel for work okay? How much time can I be gone at a time from many family? Chores: Who does what in the home? Who will cook? Who will clean? Marriage is not a destination but a journey. The bible is the blue print and the Holy Spirit is your guide . Love Always ~U.E

In this episode I talk about the origin, meaning and purpose of marriage. I also take about where the first marriage took place and why the first marriage took place. In talking about the meaning of marriage, I ask a fundamental question that if couples answer and live with conviction will fuel the rebirth of many marriages. Purpose of Marriage Marriage Is to serve God’s purpose. Gen 1:26-27 Marriage reflects the mystery of Christ and the Church. Eph 5:31-32 Marriage Is for God’s Glory “Marriage is not only from Him and through Him, it is also for Him. Marriage is designed by God to display His glory in a way that no other event or institution does” ~U.E Questions: Why did you decide to marry your spouse? Why did you pick him/her over every other person?

Singleness is not a disease to be cured but a time to continue to grow and bask in the presence of God. In this podcast I talk about different issues that today's single face and how one can address them. Always remember that marriage is a journey not a destination and the bible is the blue print while the Holy Spirit is your guide.

How does my marriage unleash the possibilities of God locked up in it?

Where do you go for help in marriage? In this episode I talk about where couples either consciously or unconsciously go for help and the best place to get help in marriage.

I this podcast I talk about things I would say to young couples and newlyweds. While the list is not chronological, I believe that if young couples fully grasp the principle of each item, many more marriages will be saved from frustration and misery. I talk about the following:- Marriage is a marathon and not a sprint so pace yourself Marriage will function at optimal capacity when couples die to self. There is no place for selfishness in marriage Do the work required to have a successful marriage. Marriage requires work, do it. Fight for your marriage " Issues don't kill marriage, the loss of desire to fight for your marriage does. They day to stop fighting for your marriage is the day divorce starts knocking on the door of your marriage" I talk about much more..........
