Couples on Marriage

Nov 4–5, 2005 - comments: 1 -

It seems that one of the most elusive undertakings in America today, may be building a fulfilling and lasting marriage.

Today we’ve invited three couples to share their own experiences in building fulfilling marriages.

First, we’d like to welcome Tom and Jeannie Elliff to the program. Tom has counseled young engaged couples for over twenty-eight years, but today we are going to learn some personal secrets from the Elliff’s marriage that have helped them build their incredible relationship.

Here are the 10 questions Tom asks Jeannie every year:

  1. What could I do to make you feel more loved?
  2. What could I do to make you feel more respected?
  3. What could I do to make you feel more understood?
  4. What could I do to make you more secure?
  5. What can I do to make you feel more confident in our future direction?
  6. What attribute would you like me to develop?
  7. What attribute would you like me to help you develop?
  8. What achievement in my life would bring you greatest joy?
  9. What would indicate to you that I really desire to be more Christ like?
  10. What mutual goal would you like to see us accomplish?

Next, Steve and Annie Chapman will join us in the studio. They are Dove Award winning recording artists, authors and conference speakers. In their latest book, What Husbands and Wives Aren’t Telling Each Other, they use their own experiences to help others enhance their marriages.

Finally, Lee and Leslie Strobel will be here to talk about what to do when one spouse is a Christian, but the other is not.

Hi, I am not sure how this work But I will try. I had just had a fight with my husband that seem to be eternal, we have been married for 20 years and instead of joy we are at odds with each other. I am not really sure anymore how we got here, I was in bed thinking of seperating, when I heard for the first time the faith and family with Steve and Annie and I am glad I did if I reach that level they discussed I would truly be bless in my marriage. I am going to buy the book and see what happen. Pray for us that we can turn this into a more happy union. The radio quests comments/insights offers logical hope. May God continue to bless you. I hope I did this correctly.
