Staying in Love When Your Love Drives You Crazy - with Karen Ehman

Does your spouse or partner drive you crazy sometimes? Of course, they do! So how do you stay crazy in love when you feel anything but? Our guest, Karen Ehman, New York Times Best Selling author and Proverbs 31 Women speaker, is with us to discuss how to keep the spark burning and make our love last.

Key Takeaways:

Marriage is about navigating differences, not finding a perfect partner.
Seek "spotter" friends who offer honest feedback and support.
Love is a choice that precedes feelings, not the other way around.
Your marriage is a powerful message to others, reflecting the love and forgiveness found in Christ.

Karen's latest book, How to Be Crazy in Love When Your Love Drives You Crazy, gives us insight through her nearly four decades of marriage to extract some golden wisdom on keeping the flames of love alive.

This conversation gives us profound insights into building and nurturing lasting, loving marriages. Love, as we discover, isn't just about warm and fuzzy feelings; it's a conscious decision to serve and honor our commitment. Karen's wisdom and personal stories inspire us to embrace the challenges of marriage, knowing that true love, rooted in faith and unwavering loyalty, can withstand the test of time. Thanks for tuning in, and until next time, remember to keep those relationships real and thriving.
