In this podcast we continue to answer some very important listener questions about family life.  Many listeners have spouses who don’t share their faith life and forging unity when that is the case can be tricky.  We came up with some creative ideas on how to love your spouse more!  Other questions included disciplining pre-teens and teens and as well as forming their hearts.  Our Discipline Guide is a good place to start for this, but we expand on some of the ideas found there and apply them to our Questioner’s specific situation.  If you find our answers helpful, share the podcast, subscribe, and tell others about us.  And certainly feel free to send us more of YOUR questions as well!

Listeners send us questions all the time and we try to answer them as best we can via email.  Some of these questions are really great because they bring up subjects that many people struggle with. In this podcast we tackle some questions about in-laws, and we answer from the perspective of a married couple but also from being a mother and father-in-law ourselves!  We also give our advice on navigating the minefield of politics as well as social media.  Though we have a podcast on preparing tweens for adolescence, we answer a question about that as well.  Listen in and if you have more questions, email us.  Maybe you’ll be featured on the next episode of listener questions!
