Webinar - Finding Inspiration for Love and Respect During Christmas

Emerson delves into what most inspires Sarah and him to uphold the timeless wisdom of Ephesians 5:33 where God reveals the power of love and respect in marriage. Emerson shares what most inspires them to practice love and respect independently of the other! Find out what that is!

Overview

The command to love and respect in marriage is found in Ephesians 5:33.
The love and glory of God serve as the inspiration for giving unconditional love and respect to one's spouse.
Obstacles to love and respect include unresolved personal issues, conditional love and respect, lack of role models, and anxiety and anger from stress.
Aligning belief and behavior is crucial for creating a more loving and respectful marriage.

Is it Wrong to Live Together Before Marriage?

Q: I have been in a live-in relationship for a number of years. We have recently been following your love and respect advice because of a crisis, but we are not married and have no marriage plans (due to a lack of trust issue regarding a one-night stand that my boyfriend recently committed). I am a New Believer and am wondering from a spiritual standpoint as to how my relationship is viewed by God's Word. My boyfriend feels that splitting up is not necessary, but I am not sure. Can you shed any light on this for us? Dr. E says: Thank you for honestly sharing your situation and your heart.

Are You Hearing Yourself the Same Way Your Spouse Does?

Most people hate the sound of their voice when they hear themselves on a voicemail or on the radio or on some other type of recording. They can’t believe they sound as high as they do, or as whiney, or so robotic, with very little reflection in their voice. Like hearing nails scraping across a chalkboard, they absolutely cringe at the sound of their voice. That can’t be me, they think to themselves. Is my voice really that annoying?

Three Reasons Some Counselors Are Bad at Marriage Counseling - Part 1: The Counselor’s Individualistic Approach

Pam and Bob, a fictitious couple but very representative of the many couples I have heard from, turned to a counselor for help in their marriage, but after five unproductive sessions the therapist recommended divorce. In shock Pam said on behalf of both of them: The reason we went to the counselor was to help our marriage. Just because we got really mad at each other during the sessions and totally blamed the other and totally justified ourselves didn’t mean we wanted to end the marriage. That’s why we went for counsel! And, yes, I played the victim and sought sympathy more than Bob, who didn’t go to the third session because he was so ticked at me and the counselor, but we didn’t expect the counselor to throw in the towel for us.
