When Two Worlds Collide: Managing Differences While Dating

Published on: 1st February, 2024

“There's a saying that two are better than one. Whatever I'm not strong in, Dennis is strong. Whatever I am strong in, Dennis is not strong in and that's where the partnership comes.” 

What if you fall for someone who seems to be on the opposite end of the spectrum? How can we manage such differences while dating? Tune in to the first episode of When Two Worlds Collide to find out how our guests, Dennis and Shiyun Goh, handled their differences before marriage.

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.
