SUMMARY OF TODAY’S PODCAST

the “Marriage Triangle” mentioned in this episode (click for a larger view)

Building a healthy marriage takes diligence and effort in many different areas… and it’s built on the foundation of the strong spiritual walk each of the partners has with the LORD. In this episode I narrow the broad focus of marriage health into 3 specific areas that I’ve come to see as vital to the process of establishing health in your marriage relationship. Those 3 areas are 1) Spiritual strength 2) A maintenance mindset, and 3) Communication. In each area I give you some tips and tricks to help you take strides toward a healthier marriage relationship.

In the episode I also mention a diagram that illustrates the importance of husband and wife each having their own intimate relationship with the LORD, and how it brings them closer to each other in the process. You can see that illustration to the right.

The definition of “Communication” as shared in the podcast:

Finally, I gave a definition of good communication, and outlined what goes into it by highlighting 4 key areas. Here’s the quote, with the 4 key areas in bold…

a PROCESS of sharing information (facts, thoughts, opinions, emotions) in a verbal or non-verbal way that includes TALKING and LISTENING, resulting in UNDERSTANDING.
