Respect is all about the attitude of the heart, which then overflows into your speech and actions.

In this episode, we continue our series on Emotionally Strong Marriages and the key ingredient of respect. Join us as Jay and Lyn shed light on this trait that has been and continues to be the building block of many successful and happy marriages.

“Prior to attending Connect2 Marriage Preparation, one of the concerns we had related to our communication styles, personal differences, and ability to resolve conflict. Through the workshop, we learnt helpful principles and tips. We were equipped to tread through disagreements more carefully and have healthy conversations. The facilitators also shared about their personal, relatable experiences and helped us to better understand how to apply the handles.” 

– Clement and Chavonne, Connect2 participants

About the Podcast

Connect2
Welcome to the Connect2 marriage podcast by Focus on the Family Singapore!

Married life can be filled with twists and turns, especially with the day-to-day priorities, and stresses in life, including the times we run into conflict with our spouse.

No matter the state of your relationship today, we want to help your marriage thrive.

Join us as we figure out life and love together, and go deep into the conversations and questions (often unspoken) about the toughest topics on connection, intimacy and lifelong love.

While there are no perfect marriages, there is always room to grow to be the best spouse we can be. With practical tips, a whole lot of vulnerability and even a dose of humour, we hope that these episodes will provide hope and encouragement for your marriage.
