How To Delight In The Lord and Your Spouse

Show notes

About This Episode Do you delight in the Lord? How about your spouse? In this episode we talk about the joy of delighting in the Lord and your spouse rather than simply existing with them. God is not looking for a dry and gray relationship with us, and neither is our spouse. We break delight down as an active verb in three parts: delighting in the Lord and His Word, delighting in your spouse, and delighting in your children, with a bonus reminder that the Lord delights in us. Along the way we share some favorite stargazing memories and talk about what intentional attention looks like at home. Let's learn to delight in each other and the Lord!
