Ever wonder what marriage advice stands the test of time? Join us as we journey back to the beginning of our 25-year marriage and unpack some of the wisdom that's shaped our relationship. From biblical guidance to practical tips, we're pulling back the curtain on what it really means to build a lasting connection.

Cleaving: More Than Just Sticking Together

We dive into the fascinating dual meaning of "cleave" in the Bible and how it applies to modern marriages. Discover why:

• Separating from old ties is crucial for forming new ones
• Turning inward as a couple strengthens your bond
• Becoming "one flesh" goes beyond the physical

The Art of Selflessness in Relationships

Remember those early dating days when you couldn't stop asking, "What do you want to do?" We explore:

• Why we naturally focus on our partner's desires at first
• How to maintain that selfless attitude throughout marriage
• The importance of supporting each other's interests and goals

Shifting Perspectives: From Romance to Reality

We share a piece of wisdom from a church leader about how our perception changes over time. Learn about:

• The power of maintaining a positive outlook
• Why communication is key in avoiding misunderstandings
• How to keep the "honeymoon phase" alive, even years into marriage

Throughout our conversation, we weave in personal anecdotes, from our daughter's adventures in France to planning weddings and trying new foods. We also touch on the realities of giving your all in a relationship, even when your "all" might only be 10% on a tough day.

So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and join us for some real talk about marriage. Because whether you're newlyweds or celebrating decades together, there's always room to grow, learn, and love better.
