Conflict in Marriage

Friday, October 30th, 2009

This Week’s Featured Radio Podcast

Listen to Volume # 033 — Pastor Timmy and Trecia Westley – “Conflict In Marriage” (Podcast)

“Marriage 101” on KKYX Radio 680am San Antonio, Texas
Hosts: Starr & Bob Calo–oy
Guest: Pastor Timmy and Trecia Westley
Broadcast Date: July 18, 2009

Starr and Bob Calo-oy interview Pastor Timmy and Trecia Westley.  They have been in marriage ministry for 3 years.  You can discuss your disagreements without hurting each other.  You must be careful of your ego when dealing with your mate.  Be sure to establish communication guidelines to avoid conflict.

The Bible says, “In your anger, do not sin”.   Sometimes we just need to set a time aside to not respond in anger.  Some people are coming into a marriage thinking what it can do for them rather than what they can do for it.  They also have expectations of what things will be like only to find out that it is not like that.  You need to support your spouse and praise them and serve them.

Tips:  Keep God first.  Pray together.  Respect and honor one another.  Find things that your spouse likes and do it for them.  Be slow to speak and quick to hear.  Set aside time to communicate.  It is better to understand than to be understood.

Caller, Fernando says his wife of 25 years does the things that she doesn’t have to do, like be with me while I’m working or bring me tea to make it better.  I do the same for her.  I make sure broken things around the house work, I open the door, I sweep or mop, etc.  It makes you feel like you are important and loved and cared for.  He asks what’s better than young love…old love!

Importance of Married Couples and Bible Study

This Week’s Featured Radio Podcast

Listen to Volume # 027 — Dave Dretke – “Importance of Married Couples and Bible Study” (Podcast)

If you are married, you NEED to be in a married Bible study…whether you have a great marriage or one on the rocks!  Often times, during the course of a study, couples share with us their stories.  Sometimes we can learn more from some of the other couples than from the whole class.
Only through unconditional love can many couples make it through marriage.  We gain strength from others in our class who are experiencing the unconditional love.   Bible studies create a place where you can be safe and be in a group where everybody knows “where you’re coming from”.  Sometimes God makes clear to someone that there is something that they are to share, that is meant specifically for another person in the class.
It is important to be involved in ministry together when you are married.  During class, you can simply open your mouth and prove to be a ministry to others.  A good way to be happy in your marriage is to hang around with couples who also want to be happy.  It can be truly synergistic when everyone seeks to bring God into their life, and each person will end up with more spirit and energy than you can believe!
