Instead of asking your spouse what they want you to do—which adds to their mental load—try saying, "Here’s what I’m going to do, unless you want me to do something different." #changetheodds

A follower of Jesus should wake up "excited and hope-filled" to be salt and light, even in a dark world. If not, have they outsourced their hope, buying into cultural angst? #Faith #Hope

As Pastor Ray says, a leader's main role—be it a teacher, parent, or manager—is to be the most encouraged person. True leadership means finding hope beyond circumstances, injecting it into any space. #Leadership #RayJohnston

Does truly knowing Him empower you to better love others? It's a fair question to ask when struggling to love. Jesus loved, and calls us to do the same. #Love #Faith

Should couples fight in front of the kids? Some might strongly disagree with this stance, and I get it. But, I think it's fair to disagree in front of kids, but never to "fight" disrespectfully or say mean things. #ChangetheOdds #FriendsPartnersLovers

If you are dating and he (or she) cheats, it's over. Don't give them a second chance. Show empathy for the fact that they missed an opportunity to be with you. #friendspartnerslovers #changetheodds

Does it feel like the first time? We hope not. Intimacy in marriage can get better over time. But that only happens when a couple works on their connection. #changetheodds #friendspartnerslovers #marriagepod

Love empowers us to sit in the pain of our spouse without trying to fix it. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is to be there and be quiet. #ChangetheOdds #MarriagePod

Just because we've known something for a long time doesn't mean we can't forget. More than learning new things, we often need to be reminded of what we already know.

Whatever you think you are fighting about, chances are the fight isn't actually about that. When we learn to look below the surface, we find the real issues at play. #marriagepod #changetheodds #friendspartnerslovers

Healthy marriages have one thing in common regarding money--they are teammates. You can't be fully invested partners if one of you has no idea what is happening with the money. #Money #marriage #changetheodds #friendspartnerslovers
