According to Dr. Crawford-Loritz, your closeness to God affects how you relate to your spouse.

The depth of authentic intimacy in a relationship is a reflection of the depth of your walk in relationship with the Lord.

Marriage is to be the living, visible biography of the life of the Savior in your history.

It tells the truth about Jesus.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamut, author of Choosing

Forgiveness for July 23, 2019.

Yesterday, we heard from Crawford and Karen Leritz on the subject of their new book,

Your Marriage Today and tomorrow, making your relationship

matter now and for generations to come. They're back with Nancy today to continue the conversation.

Let's listen. Well, I'm so thrilled and honored to have my longtime friends, Crawford and Karen Leritz, here with us in the Reviver

Heart Studio today. They have flown in from Atlanta, and y'all do a lot of traveling, a lot of speaking,

and I'm just so thankful that you were willing to work it into your schedule to join us this week.

We're grateful that you invited us, that we're just glad to be here.

Good stuff. And you have such a marriage that God has written in your lives and through your

lives as a result of 47 plus years of marriage, four kids, 11 grandkids. And we talked in yesterday's

program, which if you didn't get a chance to listen to that,

go back to revive our hearts.com and pull it up because especially if you're coming out of a

background that has broken relationships, broken family, dysfunction, you'll be so encouraged

to hear how God's grace can redeem and rescue out of any background and how your past

doesn't have to define you. It certainly explains some things, but it doesn't have to be a bondage

to your life. So Crawford and Karen, you've written this wonderful, smallish book, but packed with

truth enough for a lifetime, called Your Marriage Today and Tomorrow.
