The Savior's Tools: Building Emotional Resilience

What do you think about when you hear the word intimacy? Most think of physical or sexual intimacy, but intimacy is so much more! In today’s episode we discuss five different spheres of intimacy. The most intimate of marriages have a high degree of intimacy in each of these spheres. However, be patient. As you put Christ first in the relationship you can build intimacy over time in each of these spheres.

What are the BEST how’s of effective communication for Christ-centered marriages? In this episode we review direct teachings of Christ about communication and also the leading research on how to communicate for a lasting and happy marriage. We review research from John Gottman on the four horsemen and their remedies with a gospel lens in mind.
