Become a MASTER of Intimacy, Communication, and Prayer With This Simple Tool

How God can use one spouse to save the most toxic failing marriages in the world!

You're trying to...
invite your spouse into marriage counseling and they will not go
invite your spouse to read the books that you're reading and they won't do it
better your marriage and your relationship but you are in a relationship with the spouses completely unwilling to take steps forward

BUT it feels like...
you're just beating your head against the wall
you're destined to fail because you feel like it takes two to tango but your spouse is not moving whatsoever
you feel like a fool because your spouse is making you look bad in front of your friends and your friends are telling you you should quit
you want to treat your spouse the way that they treat you

Scripture:
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14).
Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? (Romans 2:4)
We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

This is an episode that we recorded for the Phenomenal Family Inner Circle back in 2020, but it's still 🔥. Enjoy!
