Brian From talks with Dr. Peter Larson, senior director of WinShape Marriage, about his Christian Post article on keeping marriages connected amid busy schedules, constant phone checking, and the new pull of AI. Drawing on 31 years of marriage, Peter offers four simple habits. First, greet each other like you mean it, to avoid the “roommate drift.” Second, say good things out loud, with phrases like “you’re my person” and “I’m on your team” that build up a couple’s relational bank account. Third, stay curious about who your spouse is becoming, since life’s joys and losses change us all. Fourth, protect time together through small, consistent rituals like a walk after dinner. For couples who feel they’re failing, he encourages starting with just one small step today. He also invites listeners to learn about WinShape’s Christ-centered marriage retreats at winshapemarriage.org.

The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, politics, art, and culture. On The Common Good, Brian From creates space to have these conversations, to sit with the big questions that we all have, to sometimes disagree, but to always look for the chance to create common good, by following after Jesus. Brian welcome listeners to join them in these conversations, to bring their own questions, hopes, and struggles, and to ultimately share in a journey to see God’s design for all of us fulfilled.
