There is no shortage of great podcasts, popular books, and helpful resources to help you strengthen your marriage. But in this program, Chip explains that there’s one simple discipline that, if you commit to it, you will transform your relationship. Listen in to learn what this fundamental habit is and the steps you can follow to make it a daily priority in your life.

Foundational Marriage Truths
Foundational truth #1:
- In my own strength, I am INCAPABLE of being the husband of wife God calls me to be. Therefore, my first priority for a successful marriage is my own vibrant DAILY walk with God. By His Word and His Spirit in community with fellow believers God will give me ALL I need to become a loving and godly husband or wife.
Key verses:
- 2 Peter 1:3-4
- Galatians 2:20
The BIO Acronym:
- B: Before God Daily
- I: In community
- O: On mission
Foundational truth #2:
- I will CHOOSE to love my mate by God’s power and grace in all circumstances. Love is giving another person what they NEED the most, when they DESERVE it the least, at great PERSONAL COST.
Key verse:
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
