Marriage isn't always easy, but what if we could make it easier? In today's episode, I sit down with Arlene Pellicane, author of Making Marriage Easier, to talk about the ups and downs of marriage, navigating grief and loss together, and how small intentional actions can reignite connection. Arlene shares her own love story—from longing for marriage as a young woman to waiting on God's timing and eventually walking through infertility and loss. She also gives practical tips on keeping fun and affection alive in marriage, communicating well, and choosing commitment even when emotions wane. Whether you're newly married or decades in, this conversation is full of wisdom, encouragement, and hope for making your marriage stronger.What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How waiting on God's timing shaped Arlene's view of marriage • The importance of processing grief together and marking moments of loss • Why affection and fun are vital to a thriving marriage (and how to cultivate both!) • The power of small daily actions that strengthen connection • How to move from transactional to intentional in your relationshipBio:Arlene Pellicane is a speaker, host of the Happy Home podcast, and author of several books, including Parents Rising, Making Marriage Easier, and Screen Kids (coauthored with Dr. Gary Chapman). She is the spokesperson for National Marriage Week and has been happily married to her husband, James, for more than 25 years. Arlene earned her BA from Biola University and her master's in journalism from Regent University.

Today hosts Liz Hale and Dave Schramm talk with Arlene Pellicane, an author and speaker specializing in marriage and parenting. As the national spokesperson for National Marriage Week, Arlene shares insightful tips for nurturing a strong marital connection. The discussion emphasizes daily connections, weekly date nights, and the significance of prioritizing marriage in today's world. About Arlene Pellicane Arlene Pellicane is the National Spokesperson for National Marriage Week. She's a topmarriage and parenting author and speaker, and has appeared on several media outletslike the Today Show, Wall Street Journal, Focus on the Family, Fox & Friends, TLC’sHome Made Simple, FamilyLife Today, and The 700 Club. She’s also the host of theHappy Home podcast and the author of several books including 31 Days to a HappyHusband, and 31 Days to Becoming a Happier Wife. She is married to James, herhusband of more than 25 years, and they have three children - Ethan, Noelle and Lucy. Insights: Arlene: the importance of having a service-oriented attitude in marriage, one thatasks, "What can I do for you?" rather than "What can you do for me?" By focusing on small acts of kindness, like bringing a glass of water or leaving a loving note, you can demonstrate love and commitment to your spouse. This approach leads to an active and controllable part in the relationship, fostering appreciation and reciprocation from your partner. Arlene underscores the need to consistently prioritize your spouse's needs and to take the initiative in showing care and service. She expresses hope that listeners will recognize the value in their marriages, take active steps to cherish them, and thereby inspire future generations to value the institution of marriage Dave appreciates Arlene's insights on maintaining an outward mindset and the importance of being intentional in marriage. He reflects on his parents' impressive 58-year marriage, recognizing it as a model for what he strives to achieve in his own family life. With his spouse and their four children, they make a concerted effort to show the importance of their marriage. They prioritize their relationship, with regular date nights, emphasizing to their children that their partnership is a priority. Dave acknowledges the need for planning and intentionality to prevent drifting apart in marriage, valuing daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly connections. Liz appreciates the concept that individuals can often get caught up in a mindset of expecting more from their partners without recognizing their own contributions. In her marriage therapy sessions, she frequently observes that when a person perceives they're not receiving enough from their partner, it's typically reflective of not giving enough themselves. This realization is a good foundation for addressing marital issues. Liz also highlights the decline in marriage rates from previous generations to millennials, and says that aunts, uncles, and parents bear a significant responsibility to promote the value of marriage. She stresses that it is crucial for them to model strong marriages themselves, to reinforce the positive message about marriage.

Today, on Karl and Crew Mornings, we continued our weekly theme called "Evidence of the Holy Spirit", and we discussed the evidence of God's love in our lives. The scripture reference was Ephesians 5:18. One of the greatest Fruit of the Spirit is love. Love is the essence, the evident, of being filled with the Holy Spirit. We're to love God and share His love with others. Our special guest was speaker, author, and media personality Arlene Pellicane. We highlighted her book "Calm, Cool, and Connected". She spoke into healthy relational love. Arlene is also the spokesperson for National Marriage Week. This year's theme is "Love Beyond Words".

Mary Danielsen talks to Julaine Appling of Wisconsin Family Council about a variety of issues that affect us all socially and morally.

We will also talk about National Marriage Week and how that institution is the bedrock of a stable society. Religious Freedom, abortion laws in Wisconsin, and a hate-filled rant by a Wisconsin Imam round out a varied hour of talk.   Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!
