The unresolved conflict in your marriage, the issues you're facing with one another,

personality differences, background differences, all your different preferences in life,

they wilt in the presence of Almighty God when you both find a way to bow your wills.

Because praying together every day means two individuals, in this case two very strong-willed individuals,

yield to God and recognize Him as the Almighty and that we surrender to him afresh.

Family Life today. Welcome to Family Life. Today, we're going cruising. Yeah, we are. We're

going cruising with who? Dennis and Barbara Rainy. They were on the cruise ship back in February and gave a talk on the 4.5 Christian Principles for Elasting Marriage, which was sort of weird. I said, Dennis, what's the point five? He goes, you've got to come to the talk and find out. Well, guess what? You're going to find out today because this is a recording of the talk they gave on the Love Like You Meena Cruise. I just got to tell you, you got to be with us next February. We're going back out on the boat, February 13th through the 20th and 2027. And it's like the most epic week of the year. We can't even explain what it's like

for couples, but man, just to have the time to relax, to sleep in, to have fun, to hear some really

incredible messages that are biblically based in how-toes and practical. Wouldn't it be nice

if there was a great sale going on?
