Episode 89-How to Love (and Like) Your Spouse for Life with Arlene Pellicane

Marriage isn’t meant to be frictionless—but it is meant to be transformative. Arlene Pellicane joins Dr. Jim Burns to unpack the growing pains of marriage, why the hard seasons can actually make it good, and how relying on the Holy Spirit softens hearts when conflict hits. They explore why communication breakdowns derail most marriages and how shifting from a “serve me” mindset to Christ-like service changes everything. In a culture that treats marriage as disposable, this conversation reframes it as a profound blessing—and a refining gift worth fighting for.Resources:Making Marriage Easier: How to Love (and Like) Your Spouse for Life by Arlene PellicaneArlene Pellicane’s WebsiteNational Marriage Week - Feb 7-14San Antonio Marriage InitiativeRefreshing Your Marriage Conference - March 27-28Episode 44-Making Marriage Easier with Arlene PellicaneHomeWord.com HomeWord YouTubeDr. Jim Burns’ BlogsLeave a Message for HomeWord: 949-485-3905Have a question you want Jim to answer?
