Church and Family Life Podcast

In preparing one’s children to be married, the most important inheritance parents can give them is not money, but the example of a faithful marriage, based on God’s Word, lived out before them. While didactic training is necessary, the age-old adage is true—there’s more “caught than taught.” In this podcast, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm discuss seven good marriage habits that couples should embrace that not only honor God, but that will prepare their children for strong marriages, one day, as the Lord blesses.

First, learn how to talk. Second, get reconciled quick. Third, don’t always have to do things your own way. Fourth, think the best of one another. Fifth, accept shortcomings. Sixth, deal with disappointments in a healthy way. And, seventh, create a happy home life. To boil it all down— make sure your marriage is a happy marriage, rooted in Christ, that creates a happy home.
