On this week's episode, we are talking about change. Not the change that gets to come with growth, but the change that can only happen from the Holy Spirit.

As spouses, we get to realize that we cannot change our spouse. Their personality, standards, behaviors, and attitude will be the same after the wedding as it was while you were dating. This is why it is important to decide before you get into a relationship, what you will allow or not, what you will be ok with or not. We need to stop insisting that our spouses are just like us.

Change can happen, but it mostly comes from the Holy Spirit, not nagging. Patience and communication are keys to a successful marriage, no matter how big the gap looks when you first get together.

1 Peter 3: 1-7 "Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers." (NIV)

Have a listen, and let us know what you think.

Have the best week! Enjoy the journey!
