Remember when I told you that I wish the pastor of our church lived at our house..

Sometime our kids and especially our teenagers...

What is the goal for our marriage?..

So recently our friend debbie..

So I was talking to this young guy, he was engaged..

I'll never forget the day I pulled out of our subdivision..

Slippin slide with shavin cream..

One of the great passages in the bible of how to raise our children..

I remember sitting in the kitchen early in our marriage and you came down..

Fathers do not exasperate your children but instead..

We asked our 3 adult sons to write in our parenting book their thoughts growing up..

One of the very best gifts that you can give your kids is the apology when you're wrong..

One of the greatest advancments in the last 40 years..

I can remember sitting with my 7 year old son and telling him that the bible actually says that the sins of father will..

Dave is outta town I have a five and three year old in the bathtub..

You aren't meeting my needs..

You know you have a blind spot..

I think we're all looking to have a great marriage.. absolutely..

Have you ever gotten to such a dark place that you doubted that even God would take you back..

There are days when it feels like our faith just isn't working...

A friend once said life wouldn't be so hard if we didn't expect it to be so easy..

There have been many nights I've woken up in the middle of the night and there you are wide awake..

Have you ever had this thought, God can't use me I'm totally disqualified..

Lets talk about the best thing we did for our marriage when we were really struggling..

A friend once said life wouldn't be so hard if we didn't expect it to be so easy..

Our son broke down on the highways and ..

We were on stage speaking to 10k people and i asked you...

I was determined to be. the best mom ever before we had kids..

When our first of three sons was born..

One of my favorite things we get to do as parents is discover who are kids are...

Here's a question most parents never ask..

Do you know what I remember most about our wedding night... my incredible abs..

Do you know what two of the greatest words in the bible are? I think, But GOD..

If God said murder is wrong, why do we celebrate King David...

You know, i don't know if I believe anything in the bible anymore..

Author lewis needs wrote when you forgive someone you set..

Marriage conferences don't change marriages..

When it comes to conflict nothing is worse than doing nothing at all..

Every conflict in a marriage is like a brick..

Why did god create marriage? Oh I use to ask that question all the time before we got married..

God does not want you to be happy in your marriage.. he has a bigger dream..

We often hear a husband or a wife state their priorities WITH PASSION.. god is first..

I remember at times feeling so hopeless that our marriage would never be good...

Do you know what I remember most about our honeymoon night..

You were playing golf one day and...

Every single parent needs to know this one thing.. when..

You know after you've been married for awhile it's easy to think your spouse is your enemy..

I remember the day when our 12 year old burst through the kitchen..

I remember when our kids were teenagers I decided to ask them this questions..

To the day I die, i will never forget..

So it's 11:30 at night and im crawling into bed after a long day and you said I wish..

As a mom of 3 little boys I thought I felt so overwhelmed at times..

You know one of the best things you can do for your kids is make life hard for them..

Remember that time you taught me not to fix your problems..

So we're on a canoe trip with others and it gets a little crazy..

When you go camping as a family bad things are bound to happen..

One of the things you emphasized was getting away on vacation..

One of the best things you can do in your marriage is get away from your kids..

One of the things I find amazing in the 10 commandments is..

You wanna know whats the most attractive thing that you do..

Just share something with me... sometimes I feel like, booooo..

If there's one piece of advice that you could give husbands..

For years you kept telling me i was harsh with you, critiqued you..

Words to never say in a conflict..

Here's a relationship truth that every couple needs to know..

Marrying you was the biggest mistake in my life..

I've often heard people say that forgiven people, forgive people..

You know when you hurt me or I hurt you with words or action, you know we have two actions of how to respond..

One thing I underestimated in marriage is how much we would hurt one another..

I think for years I was so disappointed in how you were leading our family...

We've been speaking at marriage conferences and talking about marriage for 35 years..

Do you remember the day I walk in the garage and see you yelling, throwing the hammer and kicking it..

You know what I love and long for in our relationship... ugh everything

When was the last time we kissed..

There's a survey recently with teenager that said, guess what..

I remmeber when our first son was born I thought "I have no clue how to be a dad"...

I will never forget the first week of our honeymoon when I just broke down..

The first time I gave another woman a compliment, I was 23 years old..

I think every husband wants to know what makes him attractive to his wife..

Remember that time I was suppose to fix your headlight for that 4 hour drive and I didn't fix it..

There are nights that I know you're upstairs waiting for me with one thing on my mind..

I remember meeting you after your junior year in college and you tore your knee..

I believe everyone has and IT, that thing that...

Remember the times in our marriage where I asked you " why are you so angry"..

Before we had kids, I just knew our kids would be so athletic...

So what is the worst thing I could say to you when you're all amped up..

You know the best part of our honey moon.. are we gonna go there..

As a boy mom I ended up having, lizards, snakes..

There were years where we had so many animals in our house with...

I will never forget the day I decided to quit in the front..

Change your legacy by being someone who is bringing the same energy you're putting the outside world to your home. Bring it to your family!

It's easy to find your spouse doing something wrong but what we should be focused on is the GOOD, thank your spouse for something they're doing right today!

Do you want your marriage to be better or bitter? In the middle of the pain you can make a choice in your marriage to cling to God and he can make you better.

Ann held onto conflict without expressing it to Dave and after awhile it felt sooo toxic, God calls us to get rid of any root of bitterness. Through this God can do a beautiful thing.

Dave and Ann use to have tons of conflict, Dave always thought it was bad but stay there, resolve it and talk.

They both dismissed each others wounds, which caused a lot of different things in the relationship. Lean in and love your partner through the pain.

They thought there was someone in the house so both of them were so scared, they both stayed in their bed and they didn't go down stairs until the police came.

Care and walk beside them when they are struggling. Sometimes we care more about how we are perceived instead of caring about what's happening to our kids.

Dave wanted the kids to mess up when they were under their roof and Ann totally didn't want that. Dave helped Ann see a different perspective, where they can lay things down at Jesus feet and know they can handle the things that happen.

One of the best moments is when you're so thankful you're almost in tears but you know the author of those blessings..

God is passionate, loving and devine, it changes everything. When Jesus changes you, it changes your marriage, and everything. You're a better parent, spouse etc.

God uses marriages to shape and define us to be a closer resemblance of who he is for us.In marriage you will find that it won't meet all your needs, marriage was built to refine us. God wants to shape us to become more like him.

There is a cost to being controlling in marriage, don't fall into it.

Comparisons are easy in marriage but it's not helpful and that's not real

Make the decision to talk about things in your marriage. Talk about your relationship, it's good to see where you can improve.

Dave and Ann got asked to lead a study on marriage and they felt they couldn't lead the marriage bible study. But they took it on anyway even though their marriage was so far from perfect. But they found afterwards they actually became closer and started applying their own rules. Help others even if you are completely lost in your own journey

Monitor how much time you're spending away from your family, evenings and moments together are sacred and it's important to prioritize them.

Ask your kids what bugs them, take their concerns and see what you might have to reassess.

Ann asked her kids what they don't like about her, she learned so many things *and through that she was able to compromise with certain things and explain why clear boundaries were set.

Through unmotivation and tiredness it's still so important to pray for your kids at night.

All the Dave's energy was going into work after they got married. Put the energy you put into the job, into your wife. Make her feel loved. Don't quick pursuing your wife atfter you're married

Ask God how he sees your wife then speak life into your spouse.Start speaking life into your spouse

Teach your kids along the way, bedtime, mealtime, car time, it's an overflow of your walk with Christ in your everyday life.

Dave and Ann felt like they made the biggest mistake by marrying each other, they both thought the other person would make them happy!

When your marriage is struggling, go back and do the things you first loved.If you want the love you first had you have to do the things you first did.
