Next Week | Speak, Listen, Love: Grow Your Marriage Through Better Communication



Let’s strengthen marital communication by shifting from conversation to compassion.

Next week’s topics focus on communication in marriage. Our blog series explores how a marriage can stand firm and grow despite difficult relationships around it. The companion audio series encourages asking better questions that turn routine conversation into deeper connection. Finally, Rey and Annie dig into how communication should help couples feel safe, known, and loved.

May you encounter God through these themes and conversations—for communication remains one of marriage’s greatest challenges and greatest opportunities.

Sep 29 - Oct 3

Are you fighting the problem—or each other?

A strong marriage is not one without conflict. It is one where husband and wife allow Christ to shape their responses, support each other through difficult relationships, and grow together in discipleship.

This week, let’s stop focusing only on what others are doing wrong and humbly ask, “What part can I play in strengthening our marriage?” We cannot control others, but we can choose godly responses, wise boundaries, and peace-building love.

Sep 28 - Oct 2

What if a few good questions could help your marriage move from routine conversations to deeper connection?

In marriage, we can talk every day and still leave important things unsaid. Sometimes fear, past experiences, or unresolved pain make honest conversations difficult—but they don’t have to define our future.

Let’s explore how to ask with grace, listen with courage, and invite God into the conversations that matter most. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to pursue truth, healing, and biblical unity in marriage.

Because the right question, asked with the right heart, can open the door to growth, freedom, and deeper connection.
