Are you a liar in your marriage?

Show notes

About This Episode Lying is one of those things that can easily get overlooked, although it affects marriage in big ways. In this episode, Aaron and Jennifer discuss the impact of lying, what Scripture says about it, and personal examples of small lies in their own marriage, from exaggerations to 'I'm right around the corner.' They challenge husbands and wives to evaluate whether they are liars or walking in integrity, including white lies, exaggerations, and omissions. Lying, big or little, causes disunity and distrust in marriage. A marriage after God, and a husband and wife after God, are people of light and integrity, pursuing and cultivating truth in everything they do.

Married since 2007 and raising six children in Bend, Oregon, they started Husband Revolution and Unveiled Wife to share what God was teaching them, not from a place of having it figured out, but as fellow travelers pointing couples back to Jesus.
