The Importance of Communication in Marriage (Part Two) - feat. The Paynes

Matthew 19:6 (NKJV) says: So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate. Ephesians 4:15 (NLT) says: Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. Marriage is a blessed union and covenant designed by God. Keeping God first will cause the marriage to move into the right direction and blessings will flow on every side. However, marriage does not come without challenges, even with God at the center. It is the couple's responsibility to fight for the marriage by daily surrendering it to God and yielding to His will no matter how uncomfortable or difficult it may be. This marriage series was created to help couples overcome and BREAKTHROUGH in different areas of hardship within their marriage, and for them to be reminded that we are a community within the Body of Christ, who need each other's encouragement, wisdom, and support. In Part 2 of this episode, I speak with Kwesi & Nicole Payne (Dad & Mom of sons, Asa and Asaiah Payne from episodes 6 & 7), on The Importance of Communication in Marriage. You will also hear about: how their children were affected prior to their breakthrough in communication, the root of internalization for Kwesi and how it caused him to eventually explode on others, how his communication has improved with Nicole since their breakthrough, how their sexual intimacy and time management have improved since their breakthrough, how they saw God differently after their breakthrough, what they love most about their marriage and each other, 3 things they would say to their younger selves, wisdom, encouragement, and advice for others, and more!
