028 - Marriage that Lasts: What We've Learned in 57 Years of Marriage (a discussion with Gary & Anne Marie Ezzo)

<p>Drawing from 57 years of marriage, Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo share from their deep well of wisdom on what it truly means to love, honor, and grow together as husband and wife. In this authentic conversation, they reflect on how marriage is designed to complete, not compete, and how returning to “that moment” of commitment reminds couples of why they chose to be together.. They explore the power of seeing more in your spouse than they see in themselves, refusing to define one another by their worst moments, and protecting each other’s dignity, especially in public. You’ll also hear practical insight on respecting pain without minimizing it, honoring hesitation and boundaries, recognizing subtle cues, and valuing each other’s expressions of worship. Throughout it all, Gary and Anne Marie remind couples to continually point one another back to God’s faithfulness and goodness.</p><p><br></p><p>Rich &amp; Julie Young, hosts</p><p>Gary &amp; Anne Marie Ezzo, founders of Growing Families</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Resources Mentioned in the Episode:</p><p><br></p><p>→ <a href="⁠https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Parenting from the Tree of Life Material</a></p><p><br>→ <a href="https://www.gfibookshop.com/products/20-2001-gospel-of-life⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Gospel of Life book</a></p><p><br></p><p>—--------------------------------------------------</p><p>→ <a href="https://growingfamilies.life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Growing Families Website</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://growingfamilies.life/find-a-class" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Register for a Class</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-courses⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Our Courses</a></p><p><br></p><p>→ <a href="https://growingfamilies.life/bookshop⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The U.S. Bookstore</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://aushop.growingfamilies.life/⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Australia &amp; NZ Bookstore</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://growingfamiliessg.life/store/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Asia Pacific Bookstore</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://www.lojadafamilia.org.br/⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Brazil Bookstore</a></p><p><br></p><p>→ <a href="https://contactmom.life/⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Contact Mom Ministry</a></p><p><br></p><p>→ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/growingfamilieslife" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Instagram</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GrowingFamiliesLife" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Facebook</a></p><p>→ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GrowingFamiliesLife" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube</a></p><p> <br>Email questions or topic suggestions to <a href="mailto:podcast@growingfamilies.life"><u>podcast@growingfamilies.life</u></a></p>
