But the way we express affection can often be dependant on how we grew up, and the way we grew up may not always be so healthy! How do we talk about our need to grow in affection in marriage when we don't feel like its being expressed properly?

"I'm sorry honey I know I was wrong and I hurt you." To many of us, this is the great finish line of healthy conflict resolution. But the truth is, this is just the beginning. Healthy conflict resolution needs to go deeper than just slapping a bandaid "I'm sorry" on it. It has to seek to understand the other, and the desires and expectations that came into collision to cause the conflict to begin with. 

Often we think about parenting in terms of cultivating true love for God and people, as well as an awareness of sin. But do we think about it in terms of shaping our kids up to be good and pleasant people? Are our kids the becoming the kind of people we would want to hang out with?

One of the most important things we can do for the good of our families is to face the uncomfortable reality of the pain and trauma we experienced in the past. Here is the link to Healing Hearts Ministries: https://www.healinghearts.org/

The concept of healthy communication in marriage can easily become a cliche. And for good reason. This is because we seek not just healthy communication. We seek to be truly known and loved. How many people would say they feel fully known and understood in their marriage? How many people live with a sense of misunderstanding and miscommunication about key aspects of their life? A marriage that is empowered by the grace of Jesus is a marriage that has both the tools and the power to truly know and love.

Parenting and family life can be crazy and overwhelming. How do we think about it in ways that are both biblical and simple? Two pillars that can help us keep track of our parenting are: grace and instruction.

Here's the tricky thing about marriage: you can be married for so many years and yet in your heart you may have layers of thoughts and perspective on your spouse that you don't always reveal. You may not even be aware of them yourself! Do you take time to build a genuinely honest view of your loved one, one that involves embracing their sins and struggles as well as their strengths?

One of the central aspects of the biblical storyline is the idea of fellowship and unity between God and between people. A home that is empowered by the story of Scripture is a home that consciously cultivates, not just correct behaviors, but a disposition towards others that is rooted in the love and unity that God gives us. Is your home filled with the fellowship of God? How do we build an atmosphere of fellowship in the home?

Andrey and Liya kick off the Under One Roof podcast by talking about the need that we have for encouragement in the trenches of family life. We are excited to be here for you as a weekly source of biblical wisdom and encouragement to equip you on your journey.
