Embracing Your Season: Raising Littles and Understanding Teens with Paige Clingenpeel
Episode 35-Keys to a Sacred Marriage with Gary Thomas
On this week's episode of Embracing Your Season with Paige Clingenpeel, author Gary Thomas joins Paige to discuss his book, Sacred Marriage. Married for over 40 years, Gary credits his devotion to loving his wife well to his faith in God. Recognizing that even the best marriages face challenging moments is key to a successful marriage! While no marriage is perfect, if we surrender our imperfections to God, He will shape us to become more like Christ.
Takeaways:
- Marriage is hard. Even the best marriages have difficult moments. You can seek counsel or therapy and advice from mature married couples that can speak into your lives and marriage.
- Romanticism in our culture - where sometimes we are made to think that our partner isn’t made for us and that when marriage gets tough, we should just give up. We have to be realistic and give each other grace because nobody is perfect and it takes a lot of work to make marriage last.
- Good marriages aren’t something that you find, they are something that you make. We are constantly growing and changing so give yourself and your spouse grace.
