Looking for a way to keep going?
These six conversations are just a glimpse into the type of conversations prompted by our new marriage study, Art of Marriage, currently 25% off through August 31.
If you’ve been craving more—more connection, more understanding, more joy together—Art of Marriage is a powerful next step. This six-session, video-based study dives into the core of how to love our spouse the way God loves us: how to have an unwavering love no matter the challenge, a love full of strength and resiliency, a love that is selfless, a love that forgives because of the grace He has shown us, a love so intimate that you feel fully known and seen, and a love that is a representation of Christ just in how others see you love each other.
You can walk through it with friends, a small group, host an event at your church, or go through it with just the two of you. Learn more or preview session one at ArtofMarriage.com

Episode Transcript
Bob: I think what is at the heart of real love-centered parenting is wanting God’s purposes to be fulfilled in our kids. As Ann Wilson was just saying, all of us, as parents, can fall into the trap of wanting our kids to perform a particular way because of how it makes us look or makes us feel. It’s one of the ways we need to diagnose: “Just how love-centered is our parenting?”
A helpful way to diagnose that in each of us is to go through the book that Crystal Paine has written, which is called Love-Centered Parenting. This is a book we want to make available to you this week if you’re able to help support the ongoing work and ministry of FamilyLife Today. Our goal here, at FamilyLife, is to see every home become a godly home to effectively develop godly marriages and families. And you help extend the reach of this ministry every time you make a donation.
If you’re a regular listener, and you’ve never made a donation, or if it’s been a while, today’s a great day for you to go online or call us and donate to support the ministry of FamilyLife Today. And when you do, we’d love to send you, again, a copy of Crystal Paine’s book, Love-Centered Parenting, as a way of saying, “Thank you for your partnership with us.” You can donate online at FamilyLifeToday.com, or call to donate at 1-800-FL-TODAY. Again, the website is FamilyLifeToday.com; or call 1-800-358-6329; that’s 1-800-“F” as in family, “L” as in life, and then the word, “TODAY.”
Now, tomorrow, Dave and Ann Wilson are going interact with Crystal Paine about what is at the heart of real love-centered parenting. It begins with a proper understanding of how our Father God loves us. We’ll hear that conversation tomorrow. I hope you can be with us for that.
On behalf of our hosts, Dave and Ann Wilson, I’m Bob Lepine. We will see you back next time for another edition of FamilyLife Today.
FamilyLife Today is a production of FamilyLife; a Cru® Ministry.
