Every marriage trips up along the way and suddenly you feel disconnected. It might be a huge big deal that triggers the fumble. Or, it can even be minor things. But how do we reconnect? The answer is in reconnection superpowers.
Reconnection Superpowers are ways to make marriage great again. Forgive me for borrowing from current politics for that phrase. But I really think if we want to make America great, we better make marriage great. One marriage at a time. Starting with the one we’re in!
Reconnection Superpowers
In today’s videos, I share two reconnection superpowers to jumpstart your great marriage, 1) Gratitude and 2) God’s purpose.
Gratitude can feel like a lost cause when we feel disconnected. I get it.
In this first video I share a personal story that surprised even me! It’s so simple and gratitude is so great, you’ll feel stronger as soon as you listen in.
In the second video, God’s purpose for marriage is pretty simple, too. As always, I share ideas that may seem controversial. Or at least overlooked in modern Biblical teaching. I try to be gentle. But, hey, some things just need to be said as clearly as possible. You’ll come away with a new perspective if you listen to the second video. I guaranteeeeeeee.
Reconnection Superpower #1: Gratitude
Q & A: “We’ve grown apart over the years. How do we reconnect emotionally and spiritually?”
Prayer is a conversation with God. In this video you’ll find out how God conversed with me in a way I wasn’t expecting and didn’t like all that much! Hahaha. Not the first or last time that’s happened!
I saved the best for last. This next one is a powerful! Less than 5 minutes to change your world!
Reconnection Superpower #2: God’s Purpose for Marriage
Q & A: “What does God’s purpose for marriage look like, and how can I find it in my relationship?”
In the above video, I gave a quick explanation about the purpose of marriage. But I had so much more to say. Ugh! I really wanted to download my whole book!
Instead, I ended with a prayer. I hope the prayer meets the needs of your heart, dear friend! I pray God meets the needs of your heart.
The Superpower of Great Conversation
Whenever I write about “super powers” I kinda cringe. Why? Because I know without a doubt the only true super power is the power that resides in God Himself, expressed to us in His Holy Spirit.
He wants our lives to be an ongoing conversation with Him.
Living in the power of God’s beautiful Holy Spirit means knowing Him. And that starts with forgiveness.
Easter is around the corner. You may be wondering what all the fuss is about. If you are wondering, Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. What does that mean? The resurrection means that Jesus is still alive. His death means that our sin is paid for, if we accept His free gift. Therefore, you can be forgiven for anything.
He believes you are worth saving. And He wants you to know Him.
The Most Important Conversation of All
This is the spot in today’s blog where you get to RSVP yes, if you want to receive the FREE invitation God offers us all to have a relationship with Him. I hope you do!
Simply pray a prayer something like this to be saved: “Jesus, I believe You died on the cross for my sin. I ask You to forgive me and accept me as Your child. Come into my life now and help me live in a way that is healthy and honoring to You and others. Thank You for the gift You alone can give of salvation. I pray in Your name, Jesus. Amen.”

For why an analytical, doubtful, cynical person, like me, became a Christian, click here. Feel free to contact me with questions if that still doesn’t make sense. I live to talk to people with GREAT questions!
Changing the culture one conversation at a time takes all of us having better conversations in our families, our churches, and our communities.
I hope you will share all our videos with your friends!
