Hi, I'm Leslie Ludi, host of the Set Apart Girl podcast, biblical encouragement for women of all ages. Today we're going

to be talking about keeping your marriage strong. So whether you've been married

for just a few months or a few years or even if you're single and looking ahead to

the future, these principles can really help

you understand God's pattern for a vibrant marriage that goes the distance.

Now before I dive into that message, I want to invite you to a marriage and motherhood retreat that we have

happening this fall at the Ellersley campus in Colorado, November 7th through 9th.

There are only 40 spots available at this retreat. We're going to be gaining God's vision

for marriage and for family and it's going to be a really powerful time and the

So whether you're a wife and mom or you're a single woman who is looking ahead to the future,

I invite you to join me for this retreat,

November 7th through 9th in Colorado.
