Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

Hope is great! But how do you actually get hope? What provides hope, in a marriage relationship, when you’ve made the commitment and you’re in it for the long-haul? Where do you find that sustaining, motivating optimism that helps you look forward to your future together? Chip’s got the answer in this program.
Biblical practices great marriages have in common:
Love
Hope
Jesus gives hope to His bride, the Church:
John 14:1-21
Hope is a picture of the future that says, what we are doing today is going to produce a better tomorrow.
Principles:
Long-term planning provides HOPE and PERSPECTIVE to overcome short-term pain and challenges.
Great plans provide a specific PATH and create HOPE for tomorrow and forever.
Hope rises and falls with how we keep our PROMISES.
Practical implications:
If you fail to PLAN, you plan to FAIL.
If you don’t have a plan, you don’t have HOPE.
Tools for transformation:
1. Clarity
You are a trophy of God’s grace – you share hope when you share your brokenness.
Assignment: Add 10 years – see the goal, plan to get there.
2. Structure – work together on:
Finances
Calendars
3. If necessary, get outside help

How do you feel when you’ve tried everything you know, and your attempts to show love to your spouse just don’t seem to be making any difference at all? Or maybe you’re on the flip-side and you’re waiting for the day when your spouse finally does something that makes you feel like they really care. In this program, Chip talks about how to love in a way that actually connects.
How do you keep love alive?
Ephesians 5:25-33
Very rarely, do we take how Jesus loves the Church and use that as our model for how we are to love one another in marriage.
Your marriage is not just about your PERSONAL fulfillment. -John 13:1-17, 33-35
Other than the Church of Jesus Christ, your relationship with your mate is the single most powerful testimony of the reality of God.
Principles:
Love is not a FEELING.
Love is SERVING. -Philippians 2:3-4
Love must be RECEIVED.
Love is UNCONDITIONAL.
Practical Implications:
Love is a CHOICE.
Love MEETS the NEEDS of the one loved.
Love requires extreme HUMILITY and SECURITY.
Learn the five languages of love
Words of affirmation
Quality time
Receiving gifts
Acts of service
Physical touch
Two clues as to what your love language is:
What bothers you the most?
What do you ask for the most?
