Summary

Hey friends! We’re kicking off a mini-series on marriage this week, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this conversation with you! Marriage is a beautiful and life-giving experience for many of us because we have a trusted partner by our side to celebrate the good times and weather life’s unexpected storms. But sometimes the storms can begin to overwhelm the relationship, and we can easily find ourselves in a relationship that looks nothing like it did when it began. Today, author and 12Stone Church senior pastor Kevin Myers and I talk about tackling common marriage problems, rebuilding our relationships, and making them stronger than ever before. We also talk about his book The Second Happy along with seven strategies to rebuild your marriage, how to use prayer to work on internal problems that help us (and our spouse!), and how to evict the elephants in your marriage. Listen in to hear: How fighting fairly allows for intimacy in a relationship and how this intimacy helps us grow closer as a couple and with God. How to view conflict resolution through “buckets” and when to apply water on your issues instead of gas. How God can help us with our marriage through thoughtful and intentional prayer. Favorite quotes: 1. I think a lot of times people feel the weight of carrying both sides of the problem and you can't. You can only carry your side. 2. You realize in the life of ministry, if you're really devoted to helping people, that some things are broken that they can't fix and only God can fix. 3. Everybody in the church carries two buckets and you're either adding to harmony or conflict, but you're never neutral. 4. We tend to use marriage rather than build it, because we're trying to build so many other things in our world. 5. You cannot consistently pray over someone you love and consistently despise them. In this episode I answer this question: What’s your take on the law of attraction? (36:52) Great things we discussed: 1. Kevin Myers at 12Stone2.

0:06.7	It's where we gather, learn, share our stories and have a great time.
0:10.8	Every week I'll be chatting with a friend who I know, who I like and I respect,
0:15.4	and I want to learn something from.
0:17.3	And after we have that discussion, we are going to have coaching time.
0:20.2	So I'm going to be
0:20.8	answering your questions about life, about faith, and about business. Welcome to the show today.

0:38.3	This week, we are joined by the very, very wise Kevin Myers. He's a pastor of 12 Stone Church

0:51.6	conversation today. After Kevin and I recorded this conversation, I immediately
0:56.0	went and told Mark some of his advice. We have taken it to heart. We have been practicing some of the
1:01.7	things that he recommends. And it has been so good for us. We dive into seven practices that will
1:07.0	help build and heal marriages. So wherever you are, maybe you're not married yet and you want to
1:12.2	make sure you have a successful marriage. Maybe your marriage is in kind of an easy phase. Everything's good.
1:17.8	Maybe your marriage is in a hard phase. Wherever you are, these practices, hearing these today,
1:23.4	are going to be super helpful. They're practical and they're super easy to do. This week's marriage show and
1:28.7	next week's marriage show are really powerful and I'm so glad you're here for it. After we talk with
1:34.0	Kevin, I'm answering a life question today, life and kind of faith. You'll see why in a minute. And the
1:39.3	question is, what's your take on the law of attraction? I have a lot to say because it is everywhere all over
