What We've Learned

Several have asked what we've learned, so I'll post a few bullets.

- That marriages everywhere basically want the same things:
- shared understanding
- acceptance and affection
- effective ways to resolve conflict in a way that doesn't hurt each other

- The principles of Biblical marriage cross cultures and tradition
- equality, mutual submission, love, respect

- Strong emotions must be identified and expressed in a way that strengthens the bond

- Many couples are yearning to grow as a team of two, but don't know how

- Busyness with good things, even great things (serving others) can hurt a marriage

- Confiding honest thoughts, feelings and desires builds closeness

There's more, but that's it for today.

Back to the office yesterday, and jet-lag might be over. They say it's a day for every hour, so 9 days is up this Friday. And all other systems are beginning to work well!

blessings, Jeff and Jill
