Is submission a one-way street, or is it a mutual journey that both spouses should embark on?
In this episode, we dive deep into the Scriptures to explore the true meaning of submission in a Christian marriage. We kick things off by discussing how submission starts with our relationship with Jesus Christ. From there, we challenge the notion that submission is a sign of weakness, highlighting how even Jesus Himself demonstrated submission as an act of strength and humility.
We then explore the often misunderstood Ephesians 5 passage, breaking down how it calls for mutual love and respect between husbands and wives. Finally, we discuss how submission is not about control but is a form of love and respect that should be reciprocated in any healthy, Christ-centered marriage.

It might sound mundane, but hear us out. We've discovered that chores can be a hidden battleground or a powerful tool to strengthen your marriage, depending on how you approach them.
From scrubbing dishes to laundry, cleaning the house to cooking meals, we often find ourselves feeling like we're in 'Chore Wars.' But what if I told you it doesn't have to be this way? That's right! We're not just talking about splitting the load equally but finding a balance that feels fair to both partners. This episode is all about unmasking the expectations each of us carries and learning how to communicate them effectively.
But we're not stopping there. In our Christian faith, we've learned to see chores as acts of service, an opportunity to express our love for each other in a practical and meaningful way. Imagine if we changed our perspective, and instead of seeing chores as tasks, we see them as expressions of love?
We also want to highlight the power of teamwork. Join us as we discuss how doing chores together can bring us closer, creating a shared experience and a sense of partnership.
Tune in to 'Chore Wars: Finding the Balance and Building a Happier Marriage,' and let's turn those chores into more than just a to-do list. Let's transform them into opportunities for connection, communication, and love. Can't wait to share this journey with you!

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/josh-groce2/supportWelcome back to “A Couple on Fire.” Tonight, Kristy and I are going to dive deep into a topic that's heavy yet necessary to address—divorce. We're calling this episode, “The Divorce Effect: Impact & Prevention.”
Firstly, we'll explore the sanctity of marriage from a Christian perspective. Marriage is God's creation, a holy union designed for unity and companionship, as told in Genesis 2:24, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” We'll discuss why it's considered a sacred covenant and its fundamental role in our lives.
Then, we'll delve into the impact of divorce, starting with the emotional, psychological, and spiritual effects it has on both partners. To guide us through this, we're reflecting on Malachi 2:16: “For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the Lord, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.”
Next, we'll explore the often-overlooked impact on children. Divorce doesn't just affect the couple involved—it reverberates throughout the entire family, community, and especially the little ones caught in the middle. We're reminded of this through Ephesians 6:4: “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”
Lastly, we'll discuss prevention. How can we safeguard our marriages against such a painful outcome? We believe in the power of forgiveness, reconciliation, and seeking God's guidance in all trials. As Colossians 3:13 implores us, “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
Join us tonight as we tackle this challenging subject, always with faith, hope, and a heart focused on God's love. Together, let's keep our marriages ablaze.

As we all strive for a healthy body, we also aim to maintain a healthy marriage. But what happens when the scales tip? Under the spotlight this week is 'Exercise and Marriage: The Good, The Bad, The Truth.'
In the first segment, 'The Good,' we explore the importance of viewing our bodies as sacred temples and the role of a balanced fitness regime in promoting mental and emotional well-being. We'll also discuss how shared health goals can become a powerful bonding agent in a marriage, providing a platform for mutual support and shared triumphs.
Moving on to 'The Bad,' we tackle the potential pitfalls. We caution against allowing fitness routines to become 'danger zones' that might isolate your partner or instigate insecurities. We also urge a thorough 'mirror check' to ensure the motivations behind your workout regime are transparent and positively contributing to your relationship.
Finally, we reveal 'The Truth.' In a world where physical fitness often takes center stage, we remind you that emotional and relational fitness are equally crucial. We discuss the importance of balance – in the gym, in your diet, and most importantly, in your marriage. It's about ensuring that your pursuit of a fit body also reflects your commitment to a fit and flourishing marriage.
Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just starting your journey, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear our insights, personal experiences, and practical advice on how to keep both your body and your marriage in great shape.

Step 12: Serve - Because God has restored our marriage, we use our story of hope to share with others by living it out in our daily lives. We serve others and help restore broken relationships with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

In part three of the "12 Steps to a Better Marriage" series with The Perfectly Blended Podcast, we delve into steps 7-9 that will help improve and strengthen your relationship:
HUMILITY - We ask God to remove our shortcomings in our relationship and be able to humble ourselves to God and then to each other. This step is grounded in 1 John 1:9 NIV which reminds us that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. We also turn to Matthew 5:6a, which says "Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires."
WILLINGNESS - Willingness to do whatever it takes for our marriage to be restored. This step is rooted in Luke 6:31 NIV which says "Do to others as you would have them do to you." We also turn to Matthew 5:7a which reminds us that "Happy are the merciful" and to Matthew 5:9 which says "Happy are the peacemakers."
APOLOGIZE - We apologize directly to each other as soon as we can. This step is based on Matthew 5:23-24 NIV which advises that if you remember that your brother has something against you while offering your gift at the altar, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First, go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. We also turn to Matthew 5:7a which says "Happy are the merciful" and to Matthew 5:9 which reminds us that "Happy are the peacemakers."
By incorporating these steps into your marriage, you'll be able to cultivate a more loving, forgiving, and fulfilling relationship. Tune in to The Perfectly Blended Podcast S7E2 to learn more about how to implement these steps and improve your marriage.

--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/josh-groce2/supportOur guest on this episode is: Jeanette Yoffe, M.A, M.F.T
Director at Yoffe Therapy: Child, Teen, Adult, and Family Clinician
Areas of Expertise:
Foster Care
Adoption Competent
Trauma/PTSD
Self-esteem
Social and communication skills
Reunion Support
Anxiety, Depression, Stress management
Adoptee, Foster Care Personal Experience
Jeanette Yoffe, M.A., M.F.T. earned her Master's in Clinical Psychology, specializing in adoption and foster care, from Antioch University in June of 2002. She treats children, teens, and adults with serious psychological problems secondary to histories of abuse, neglect, adoption, and /or multiple foster care placements. She has specialized for the past 20 years in the treatment of children and teens who manifest serious deficits in their emotional, cognitive, and behavioral development.
She is the Founder of Celia Center Inc, a non-profit organization in Los Angeles supporting all members of the foster care and adoption constellation which includes birth parents, foster youth, adoptees, foster and adoptive parents as well as professionals working in the field.
She is also the Clinical Director of Yoffe Therapy Inc. A mental health center in Los Angeles provides services to families, children, teens, and adults connected by foster care and adoption. Learn more here.
Jeanette’s desire to become a therapist with a special focus on adoption and foster care issues derived from her own experience of being adopted and moving through the foster care system. Her personal experience has informed her education and provided insight into the unique stresses involved with these issues.
She is also Court Appointed Reunification Expert for Los Angeles Superior Court in cases involving children at risk for separation.
In 2019 she published a one-woman show she performed back in 2000 titled "What's Your Name, Who's Your Daddy?" now available on Amazon and is recorded on Audible. This is a great resource for families, support groups, and agencies, to listen and understand the child's point of view about growing up in foster care and adoption.
During her five years as a professional social worker and therapist at Southern California Foster Care and Adoption Agency, Jeanette developed a series of groundbreaking interventions for working with foster and adopted children and presented creative workshops for parents as well as therapists and social workers in Los Angeles. Her first training was at the 2005 Child Welfare League Conference and the 2012 DCFS Conference. She was encouraged and inspired to publish her first mental health book of interventions titled, GROUNDBREAKING INTERVENTIONS: WORKING WITH TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN FOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION. This book contains structured treatment activities, the goals of treatment, materials needed, and a “how-to approach” for each methodology. A must-have intervention book for all professionals and parents working with children in foster care and adoption!

Looking for a real bond in your marriage? You most likely are not spending enough time making your partner feel special.
Check out this episode to hear about 5 ways to make your spouse feel special!
RECAP:
- Make time for quality conversation - take the time to really listen to each other and share what's going on in your lives.
- Give small tokens of appreciation - it doesn't have to be expensive, but little surprises like a bouquet of flowers, a favorite snack, or a love note can brighten their day.
- Spend quality time together - make time for date nights, or just to relax and enjoy each other's company. Even if it's just a walk around the block, it's important to stay connected.
- Show physical affection - hugs, kisses, holding hands - it's all important for maintaining a strong bond.
- Show interest in their life - ask about their day, their plans, their interests, and hobbies. It's important to stay involved in each other's lives.

A little about Debbie:
I make my living as a lawyer, but what I do is take care of other people’s children. For more than 40 years, I have been working with traumatized children, starting when I was a preteen helping my parents with their summer camp and church ministries. In the years since, I have served as a juvenile court probation officer/social worker, group home parent, criminal prosecutor, non-profit volunteer and Board member, and attorney defending youth-serving organizations.
My most important roles have been foster parent and stepparent. I never had biological children, but I have managed to collect 7 children and 10 grandchildren. Along the way, my foster children, stepchildren, and grandchildren have taught me the life lessons that are the core of my speaking and writing — the lessons that I wish I could have learned from a parenting manual rather than trial and error.

Today I am a transparent author, certified forward living coach, inspirational speaker, and mentor to many. I strive to live a life authentically with open-heart showing love to everybody that crosses my path. But it was also like this, as a young child I was sexually and physically abused.
My mother became addicted to drugs going in and out of prison, which caused me to turn to unhealthy relationships. The breaking point was two unsuccessful marriages, a suicide attempt and so much stress that caused me to have a STROKE. In 2015 I made the leap of faith to no longer use my life's hurts and tragedy's as crutches to cripple me, but instead use them as stairs to get me to the next level. I knew it all had a purpose. I just had to find the purpose in my pain.
Today I live my life to empower. I believe that God has called me to be a bridge over troubled water helping to connect others to their power source. Through my products and services I am dedicated and determined to show others how they too can turn their trials into treasures.

We interview the founders of Nacho Kids and Nacho Kids Academy.
"Nacho Kids is dedicated to helping blended families thrive. While there are tons of great blended family websites and books, few address what to do when traditional or societally defined (or accepted) step-parenting does not work. Unfortunately, there is no “one size fits all” when blending. We saw there was a need for something different, a non-judgmental community of step-parents who are not fitting into the traditional stepparent role to help them avoid becoming another blended family divorce statistic."
