Amanda starts out by sharing her own story of working toward her degree in counseling, wanting to help others in their marital relationships and realizing that her own was falling apart. She tells us that not until she fully surrendered her heart to Jesus was her marriage able to be transformed.
We continue the conversation talking about how to have strong, healthy communication. Amanda tells us that we have to take a look at our heart issues before we’re going to be able to have good communication and she gives some things to look for in ourselves. We also talk about how to address an issue that keeps coming up over and over again in your marriage, and how to have fun together.
Amanda says that we can’t love our husbands betteron our own. It’s not about tryingharder. We can’t. It’s about focusing on Jesus. His love will cause us to love our husbandsmore. She says, “the more weare making it a priority to be with Jesus, the more our marriages will thrive.”
