Brad and Marilyn Rhoads continue their conversation with Dr. Tim Clinton, discussing what it means to prioritize a Christ-centered, grace-filled marriage. They share the heart behind their ministry, highlighting the need they observed in churches nationwide for ongoing, proactive marriage training rather than simply reacting when challenges arise. Brad and Marilyn encourage couples to seek mentors to pour into them, so they, in turn, can pour into others. Marriage, they explain, is so much bigger than two people who said ‘I do’—it’s an opportunity to reflect God’s love to a world that desperately needs it.

When Dr. Warren Farrell began teaching couples better communication skills 30 years ago, he emphasized the importance of not becoming defensive in response to criticism. Easier said than done, right?

In this conversation with Dr. Tim Clinton, Dr. Farrell unpacks his “7 Secrets to Lifelong Love” and introduces practical tools like the “caring and sharing practice” and the “conflict-free zone.” These insights could transform your relationship and your love life.

Many Christian couples believe in the power of prayer, but far fewer actually pray together. Brad and Heidi Mitchell, founders of Build Your Marriage ministry, share with Dr. Tim Clinton that only 5% of couples do. As they unpack their new book, Build Your Marriage with Prayer—a practical resource that guides couples through daily prayer topics—they share how personal and shared prayer restored their own marriage in the aftermath of betrayal. Not only does praying together significantly reduce the risk of divorce, but it also aligns individual hearts with God’s will and brings lasting unity to a relationship.

Dr. Tim Clinton sits down with relationship experts Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott to talk about their new book, The Love Language That Matters Most, co-written with Dr. Gary Chapman. Throughout the conversation, they share personal stories from their own marriages and reflect on something many couples experience: we all want to feel loved, but sometimes our partner’s genuine efforts miss the mark. Les and Leslie explain that simply knowing your spouse’s love language isn’t always enough—the real key is learning the right “dialect” so your love truly connects. When couples learn to express love in ways that really land, they can keep each other’s love tank full and build a healthier, stronger relationship.
