Summary

We are doing a series on the Top 8 Marriage Issues in 2019. These 8 issues are the top 8 issues that Dr. Kim has seen this year with marriages. We will be breaking them down starting with #8 and working our way towards the #1 marriage issue.

In this episode Dr. Kim & Christina talk about the 3rd biggest issue in marriages this year which is: values and beliefs.

Our value system and belief system is foundational to all our other opinions and actions in life. So when a couple isn't on the same page, it can naturally cause many issues.

In this episode Dr. Kim and Christina share about values and beliefs in marriage and how to cope when you and your spouse aren't on the same page.

NOTEWORTHY QUOTES

"If your spouse doesn't agree with you on something it can be helpful to rate how important something is to you on a 1 to 10 scale to help your spouse understand how important (less important) something is to you." - Christina
"Find the hot button topics in your marriage and agree on how to talk about them or agree to disagree with each other if that's healthier for your marriage." - Christina
"There are some things in marriage it is absolutely ok to compromise on; one thing you should not do is allow compromise with your spouse to cause you or them to sin." - Christina
"If you aren't married yet, be prayerful before going into marriage with someone who's values and beliefs are much different than your own." - Dr. Kim
"Pray and ask God for wisdom on how to handle conflict in your marriage in a way that honors Him and honors the vows you made to your spouse, and let Him lead you through it." - Dr. Kim
"God will sometimes give you more than you can handle so that you turn to Him for help." - Dr. Kim
