Calling the Play by Play: A Strategy for Improving Marital Communication

This question is for the sports fans out there:  have you ever had to settle for listening to the game on the radio rather than getting to watch the action on the big screen?  Though watching the game on TV can be exciting, for me, there is something about hearing every moment called out in real time that adds to the level of excitement.   It requires a different level of focus, which often highlights details that you might miss otherwise.  There is something about naming every movement that requires us to stay in the moment, forcing us to forget about the last play that went wrong or what might happen next.   Calling the play-by-play requires a level of presence that can enhance the overall experience, and when applied to marriage, it serves as a game changer in navigating difficult conversations.  

What’s in Your Basement?

We all have a hidden space in our lives, like a basement, where we store wounds we'd rather keep hidden. It might hold painful memories or feelings of guilt, shame, and regret. It's a scary place, one we'd typically avoid sharing with others. However, I believe God didn't intend for us to face this alone. He wants us to invite someone in to walk with us through the darkness.
