Summary

In this episode Dr. Kim and Christina talk about this concept the Bible teaches about "speaking the truth in love."

Out of love and grace for each other sometimes we don't want to say the hard things even if they are true. But to love is to tell the truth. We especially do want to tell the truth to our spouse.

In this episode Dr. Kim and Christina got into detail about what it means to speak the truth to your spouse and how to do it. They also talk about how to not take this too far by sharing about when it's best to not speak up because there is certainly a time and place for that as well.

We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
