Seeing Your Spouse's Unspoken Needs :: [Ep. 275]

This week, we are wrapping up our six-part series on Powerful Pursuit by exploring how to see and meet your spouse's unspoken heart-level needs, moving beyond being roommates to truly pursuing one another in marriage.

We will cover the following in this episode:

• Distinguishing between what your spouse wants versus what they truly need at heart level
• Understanding marriage as an opportunity to prioritize pursuit like the shepherd who leaves his 99 sheep
• Warning against responding with judgment rather than Christ-like pursuit when hurt enters a relationship
• The importance of discernment in identifying what our spouse actually needs
• Making it your mission to understand your spouse so well they don't have to articulate their needs

Come listen and be encouraged and helped!
