0:00.0 | It's such a blessing to have you guys here. And today, we're going to be talking about your new book |
0:05.1 | that's out and that people are going to get blessed by. We're going to be talking about, obviously, |
0:12.6 | how to strengthen your marriage and family. One of the reasons that we struggle is that people |
0:17.6 | don't understand biblical roles. But the more we understand the roles that |
0:21.2 | God has made us to fulfill, the more joy that we have. I also think we talk to a lot of couples who |
0:26.1 | they'll come in for counseling and they'll premarital and say, hey, we're going to get married, |
0:29.8 | you know, and we'll sit there. And the first. If we were to sit down, a lot of times, even in an |
0:39.4 | evangelical world or a Christian world, it'll be answers like, well, you know, we want to have a family |
0:46.5 | together, which is good, we'll point out, there's lots of people who aren't Christians and who |

1:27.8 | but also to the living God, that we're going to be lifetime teammates are what we call best |
1:32.2 | friendship. We're going to build a best friendship and we're going to do life together. And I think |

1:41.1 | to have a family. I'm getting married. But I don't understand. I'm getting married to have a family, but I don't understand. I'm getting married because the two will be stronger than the one. And what we start, we're going to finish. |
