107. The Anniversary We Almost Didn't Have—And What God Taught Us About Listening
About this episode
The episode discusses a couple's anniversary that almost didn't happen due to miscommunication and explores biblical principles for effective communication in relationships.
What happens when two people love each other but are not hearing each other's hearts? In this episode of Stronger Together, Closer to God , we share the true story of the anniversary we almost did not have—not because of a missed reservation, but because of a disagreement that revealed how easily couples can listen to respond instead of listening to understand. Through James 1:19–23, Proverbs 18:13, and Philippians 2:3–4, we explore God's order for communication and how obedience to His Word can transform conflict into connection. Whether you are dating, engaged, or married, this conversation offers biblical encouragement and practical tools to help you protect your relationship by putting Christ at the center of your communication.
