Hi there, welcome to Fear's Marriage. I am Selena. And I'm Ryan. We are excited to talk to you about the awesome power of appreciation within your marriage.

We've just kind of been seeing the fruit of this in our own life and felt like it was time to have a good conversation about what it means to appreciate your spouse, what the Bible talks about, like how it applies to our own marriage.

I really think appreciation, joy, contentment, and just enjoyment in your marriage. They all go hand in hand. They're all very related and they're all biblical.

Well, and they combat the enemy on so many levels, you know, with your marriage. So we are excited to dive into that.

This is a huge topic, really hugely important to us. And so, yeah, we thank you for joining us. Go ahead.

We'll see you on the other side.

Yes, there you go.

Welcome to the Fear's Marriage Podcast where we believe that marriage takes a fierce tenacity that never gives up and refuses to give in.

Here we'll share openly and honestly about all things marriage. Sex, communication, finances, priorities, purpose, and everything in between.

Laugh, ponder, and join in on Candid Gospel-centered conversations.

This is Fear's Marriage.

So kind of a big episode today for us because it is our, well, it's the week of our 15-year anniversary.

15 years!

Meried, being hitched.

Yep, actually, and we've been together for over 19 years.

Yeah.

We dated for four years, two years in high school, and then two years in college. I thought, you know, it's not getting any easier to love this woman.

I better marry her before I get myself in trouble.

So I sold my car about a ring and asked you and you said yes.

And here we are today, 15 years later.

Here we are. Yeah. So in honor of that.

Yes.
