Gary Thomas says every couple should expect to face differences and challenges.

I think what is Satan's biggest lies is if you're in a difficult marriage, it means you married the wrong person or the marriage can't get better.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy DeMoss Wglemouth, author of Lies Women Believe, for Monday, February 12th.

Well, as my precious husband and I are now in our third year of marriage, can you believe it?

Did you ever think you'd hear me talking about my husband?

And sometimes it still feels just amazing.

And I love that, and I hope it stays that way.

Anyways, we're in our third year of marriage, I'm enjoying so much reading and learning from authors and books

and resources that are helping me to get this marriage thing. And I've talked to people who've been

married 30, 40, 50 years, and they're still growing, still learning. So we have a long way to go,

but we're loving it and loving what God's doing

in our lives in this season. So I'm really delighted today to welcome to revive our hearts,

some new friends, Gary and Lisa Thomas. And we'll talk more about who they are and why they're

on the program today. But Gary and Lisa, welcome to revive our hearts. Thank you. It's good to be here. Thanks for having us.

Gary Thomas is a writer in residence who serves on the staff and on the teaching team at

Second Baptist Church here in Houston, Texas. He's the author of 18 books, including the best-selling

sacred marriage. And Gary, normally when you do interviews

like this, you're kind of on your own because you author these books. But your wife Lisa

graciously agreed to come in and thank you for doing that, Lisa, to be a part of this conversation

because I think our listeners, mostly women, I want to hear not just what your

husband thinks about marriage, but what you think about marriage too, so thank you so much.

You're welcome.
