Surviving a Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage

Jan 28–29, 2010 - comments: 3

Today on the broadcast we have some very special guests. Lee and Leslie Strobel are going to be joining us today. Lee is a former teaching pastor at Saddleback Valley Community Church, in Orange County, California and now is pursuing a full time writing ministry and he has been a guest with us before, but this time we have had the privilege to also visit with his wife, Leslie. Many people know what it means to have a wife as your partner in ministry and that is certainly the case with Leslie has been actively involved in the women’s ministry at their church as well as the one-on-one mentoring ministry. And in her spare time they coauthored the book that we are going to be talking about today entitled Surviving a Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage.

One of the greatest joys on earth is to be able to share the wonderful, personal relationship we have with Christ with the person we love the most on this planet-our spouse. But I run into people all the time that have a spouse that is not a believer, and I have heard how difficult that kind of partnership can be, and that is why Lee and Leslie are with us today.

Today Lee and Leslie Strobel will allow us to look in the window of their lives and view a very difficult time in their marriage, for the benefit of those who may be-for whatever reason-walking a similar road. Because they have been there they can call back warnings to those who follow to watch for the bumps in the road, the places where the going gets really rough, even point out the mine fields to avoid. These lessons learned in the trenches-through their own trials and errors-can help another brother or sister who finds their mismatched marital road lonely and treacherous.

Interesting that when we “truly seek” to know God’s will in our lives, beside speaking through His Word, He also brings various sources of encouragement and help for the very problem(s)we face. As a first time listener, I would like to thank you for allowing yourself to be used of the Lord to reach such a vast amount of people as we face life’s ups and downs.  May God continue to bless you and the Strobels in your endeavor to reach our world for Christ, and also help we, who already know Him, to grow to be more like Him. God’s blessings to you, Marilyn
