Episode 90: Paul David Tripp: Uncover the Marriage of Your Dreams (Reprise)
Marriage. It is a blessing from God but it can also be difficult and complicated. We get married because we believe marriage is a good thing that will bless our lives. But much of the time, marriage morphs into something we didn’t intend it to be. When it does, we need something sturdier than romance and deeper than shared interest and mutual attraction.
Jonathan welcomes Dr. Paul David Trip to Candid Conversations. Dr. Tripp believes marriage requires changed expectations, radical commitments, and most importantly, grace.
In this engaging podcast interview you will uncover the right expectations for marriage, what it means to reflect the Gospel in marriage, and why being disappointed in your marriage can be a good thing.
