At the end of this long year, perhaps your marriage feels battered and bruised. Stressors, losses, and obstacles have tested your vow to cherish and love one another “for better or worse.” Affection gives way to irritation. Warmth is chilled by cold distance. Passion and intimacy fall away, leaving you with empty arms and lonely nights.  Today our guests Bill and Pam Farrel offer hope to couples who want to rekindle the passion in their relationship. They bring years of expertise as marriage speakers and writers—and their own decades of shared life together—to bring this hope and wisdom today:   How God brought Bill and Pam together and gave them a vision for their relationship. Why sexual intimacy is so powerful and important in your marriage. The pitfalls that keep couples from sustaining “red-hot monogamy.” How to open up communication about your love life. How sexual intimacy can thrive and grow through every stage of life together. How your love can shine the light of Christ to others. Bill and Pam have also created an amazing devotional planner to help you grow a successful and intimate marriage.
