This is episode #4 of our thriving marriage series - halfway there! This will be a tougher episode to digest. We all have said or yelled things to our spouse that we regret or wish we can take back. This is an area that only God can help you in. Only He can give you a softened heart and reveal to you on why you say harsh words or yell. It’s what is from the heart, so that is why we need to check our hearts! God is in the business of changing us from the inside out, so pray over your heart, to rid of the things in your heart that is drawing you away from God and your spouse, for eyes to see what is influencing you (TV, social media, people, music, & such) to treat your spouse this way & cut those off. Most of all, pray for your spouse if this is an area they struggle with too because only God can change their hearts and give them conviction, not you! We have choices to make, daily and each moment, on how we speak to our spouse as well as behind their back. When your tongue goes unchecked, people can get hurt and you may end up hurting yourself as well. The words that we speak LITERALLY speak either LIFE or DEATH over.  Speaking negativity or anything else can create an atmosphere of tension in your home. This will not help you to have a thriving marriage - you just are trying to survive. You want to create a home and atmosphere of peace and gentleness and love and forgiveness - that is part of a thriving marriage!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
