Love Languages While Deployed

The good new is, all 5 love languages can be spoken long distance. Expressing them verbally or in written form can communicate your love while separated.

The Greatest Commandment

What is the greatest commandment of all? - to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. We love God because He first loved us. And God has expressed His love to each of us in our own primary love language.

Loving the Unlovely

It's easy to love someone who's lovely, but not so easy when they are unlovely. Jesus said we are to love and bless our enemies.

Criticizing Each Other

Why do Christians some times criticize each other? The way we express our love for God is usually different from the way someone else does. It's an indicator of what our love language is. Neither is right or wrong - just different.

Children from a Different Marriage

Second marriages are difficult, especially when your new spouse has children from a previous marriage. Until that child becomes an adult, your spouse will always have some contact with the mother of that child.

Same Love Language?

Wouldn't it be easier if couples shared the same love language? Yes, but there are often dialects within the same language. So although you share the same love language, you still need to learn the nuances of each other's love language.

God uses People to Reach People

God uses people to reach people. He has demonstrated His love through Christ's sacrifice for us. But He has also chosen you to express His love to others in their own love language.

Active Listening

Listening to each other is critical to a healthy marriage. A spouse might often say something but mean something else. Ask questions. Their response to your questions might clarify what they really meant.

How do you Know God Loves You?

How do you know God loves you? In human relationships, we feel loved when the other person speaks to us in our love language. The same is true with God. Learn more by reading Dr. Gary Chapman's book, God Speaks Your Love Language.

Dating Couples Fighting

All couples will have conflicts. Learning how to solve conflicts without arguing is key. It's essential for a healthy marriage. Learn how to listen to each other with empathy and respect.
