Hi, I'm Leslie Lutie, host of the Sutter Part Podcast, biblical encouragement for women of all ages.

Today we're going to build on our theme of becoming marriage ready.

If you didn't catch last week's episode,

I just encourage you to go back and listen to that.

It lays a great foundation for principles that you can

put into place whether you've been married for many years or you're just

preparing for marriage in the future. Before we dive into part two of becoming

marriage ready I wanted to remind you that we have some

training opportunities coming up here in Windsor, Colorado at Ellerslie, our

discipleship training school. There's a week-long program in late August that you

can join us for. It's just a wonderful

opportunity to come away from the distractions and busyness of your daily

life and focus completely on Jesus Christ. And then if you're able to join us for a longer time, we have a five-week

program starting in September. We would love to see you in Colorado this year at our

beautiful Ellerslie campus and invest into your spiritual life. You can go to Ellerslie.com, E-L-L-E-R-S-I-E-T-K-O-I-E-T-T-E-T-E-T-E-T-O-S-I-E-T-E-T-E-T

more about our training programs. So let's dive into your spiritual life.

Last week, we talked about ways that you can prepare now with the relationships in your life

if you're still single, things that will help you go the distance in marriage and

keep your marriage centered upon Jesus Christ.

I want to build upon that a little bit and go through several principles.

Now each one of these principles could certainly be an online course or an episode in themselves

so we're just going to touch on them
