Topical Marriage:

• For Men Only - Adam Loves Eve: Paperback or Audio - Best Men's Book I've ever read that clearly teaches us about our responsibilities as men and husbands in the marriage relationship.

Podcasts and Websites:

• Fierce Marriage - Tons of great stuff to support your marriage like, books, podcasts, articles, and much more!
• Loving the Fight Marriage Podcast with Travis and Dawn Rosinger
• The Life Video Series - In my humble opinion, the single greatest resource to finding and experiencing the victorious Christian life! This teaching was a game changer for Jodi and I over 20 years ago. This video teaching ties together with the Lifetime Guarantee book above.
• Regaining Passion in Your Marriage - Audio Podcast from Focus on the Family - For a lot of couples, talking about sex can feel awkward and uncomfortable. But it doesn't have to be that way.
• "Managing Anger" - Sermon Message - One of the best messages on the topic of anger I have ever heard.

In my opinion, this is the best Bible App out there and is very robust in helping you to build your relationship with God. This app has so many features it's hard to note them all and it's something you need to see to believe. You can download the app here or in your app store. You can also watch this short video tutorial of what's in the app and how to navigate it on our YouTube Channel, https://youtu.be/3Rc4ty36dzM

It's remembering this statement, "It's always going to be difficult to have a thriving relationship with other people if you don't have a thriving relationship with God." We've got to remember that it all starts with us and our relationship with God and how healthy that relationship is. The depth of our relationship with Christ is determined by how we do with these four things, spending daily time in Prayer and the Study of God's Word, Being Active in a Local Church, and Being in Christian Community consistently . All of these things will determine what our walk and relationship with God looks like and how much victory you experience in life.

If we're not healthy spiritually, our relationships with our spouse, kids, and anyone else in our lives will just not be as healthy as they should or could be! Get your relationship right with the Lord, get close to Him, and the rest of the relationships in your life will start to fall in place and get to where you want them to be. The YouVersion Bible App is a great help in helping you to achieve this!

It Starts With You! Follow this link and consider reading the book.

Well, first off, download the YouVersion Bible App as you see in the question above and do a devotional together.

Another great thing you could do is look at Fierce Marriage. FM is a fantastic resource for many different types of tools, videos, podcasts and more. This is one particular set of tools I would encourage every couple to purchase and start using. Check out more here, https://shop.fiercemarriage.com/collections/devotionals - The Husband/Wife in Pursuit and the 40 Prayers for my Husband/Wife are fantastic!

Below are links to a great video series published by Focus on the Family called, "Blended Families – Overcoming Challenges." It's a seven-part series featuring Ron Deal.

Ron co-authored a book with Gary Chapman (The 5 Love Languages) called, Building Love Together in Blended Families: The 5 Love Languages and Becoming StepFamily Smart if you're interested in looking into it?
