Dr. Greg and Erin Smalley share advice for couples getting ready to marry. Statistics show that the majority of Americans want a happy marriage, yet most spend less time preparing for the marriage than they do on the wedding ceremony. The Smalleys advise that engaged couples learn how to build a strong, healthy and godly marriage in premarital counseling. Issues they address include commitment, leaving and cleaving, honoring your spouse, communication, managing conflict and more.

Creating Meaningful Mealtimes

Abby Johnson shares how a series of small compromises, over several years, almost derailed her life. As a teenager, Abby sought the attention of men, which resulted in her first pregnancy and abortion. Believing that Planned Parenthood helped poor women get real health care, she became a model employee of her local center, until she witnessed an ultrasound-guided abortion. She was devastated. Abby encourages her audience to be counter-cultural and boldly fight for the lives of pre-born children.
