Aaron and Jamie Ivey on Forgiveness and Fun in Marriage

Your marriage doesn’t have to be a bland, life-less, 'it's-all-downhill-from-here' kind of marriage. Instead, what if it was fun? Adventurous? And meaningful? And our greatest asset in navigating the ups and downs we face? Aaron and Jamie Ivey share with us how that’s possible.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Aaron and Jamie’s new marriage project, Complement, and what in our culture and in the church has prompted this message from them.

  • The secret of having fun together 

  • What it means to be on a mission with your spouse

  • Words of encouragement for those who might be struggling in their marriage

Key Points:

  • Forgiveness starts with being really honest with each other at the moment, not stuffing anything down, being humble enough to admit when you get something wrong. 

  • Choosing to forgive someone, whether they deserve it or not is so critical to a successful marriage.

  • If your spouse tells you that you really hurt their feelings, whether you think he's right or wrong, You can still apologize for the fact that you hurt them. 

  • Dating doesn't stop whenever you put a ring on a finger. You should have a lifestyle of dating and pursuing each other.
