Time Stamps:

(2:15) Bob Goff – I'm holding up a trampoline and saying, “Let’s go launch you.”

(5:22) Jeremy Marshall – I had to develop a liturgy of commute home that released everything I had been carrying through the day.

(10:31) Ted Lowe – A great marriage is made up of two people that say, “I just wish you could see you like I see you.”

(16:44) Eric Wooten – Validate now; truth later. Whoever brings a concern up to the other person first, their spouse’s only job at that moment is to validate the concern that’s been brought.

(27:31) The Robys – Lora wanted to fight, and I was ready to flight. That six-month cycle is where we grew in our marriage. We finally looked at each other in May. If we can make it through this, then we’ll make it through anything.

(32:59) Katie Bulmer – What is on the other side of fighting for a good marriage?

(44:52) Dr. Juli Slattery – About 90% of couples have a significant difference in their desire for “how often are we going to have sex” and “what do you enjoy in sex”—that's a normal barrier.

(55:19) Genee Francis – One thing that trips people up is expecting you of others.

On today’s episode of The WinShape Marriage Podcast, we are sharing our fourth and final marriage story for this season. Marlee Arnold sits down with John and Stephanie Oldham, a WinShape Marriage Host Couple. They begin by describing parts of their childhoods, in which they experienced many similarities that affected their abilities to form healthy relationships. Ultimately, they met one another and walked through their own peaks and valleys in their marriage relationship—resulting in a testimony filled with hope and healing. We pray this conversation encourages your marriage.
