Often in marriage, spouses may see things differently. It can create some tension.

Pastor Greg Laurie says, be careful about calling it irreconcilable differences.

Don't tell me about irreconcilable differences. I've had irreconcilable differences with my wife for 44 years.

They're irreconcilable. She's neat and I'm messy. She likes British TV dramas and I like shoot them up.

She's cute and I'm fat. It's irreconcilable.

Marriage is a union of two imperfect people and often that's the perfect recipe for conflict.

How can couples learn to disagree agreeably? How can couples bring harmony to the home when each spouse is singing a different tune?

Today on a new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie brings a practical study of biblical marriage.

Sometimes that relationship can be filled with questions, but the answers are easy to find.

Let's all pay attention for a new presentation called Marriage 101.

I heard about a husband and wife who were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary.

So the husband took the wife by the hand and made a dramatic announcement in front of friends and family.

He said, dear wife, I love you so much and an honor of 25 years with you. 25 years of really wedded bliss,

I'm going to take you to China. She was so excited. She said, I've never been to China before. Thank you.

So if this is what you're going to do for our 25th anniversary, what will you do for our 50th? He says,

that's when I'll pick you up. That's not good. Maybe that's why someone said marriage is like a three-ring circus,

engagement ring, wedding ring, suffering. So you don't want that to happen and it doesn't have to happen.
