If you're feeling trapped in a difficult or emotionally disconnected marriage, Dr. Sharon May of the Safe Haven Counseling Center has some good advice. First, recognize the argument cycles that you get stuck in. Second, take responsibility for the ways you react. Third, instead of becoming angry or shutting down, show kindness. And fourth, truly listen to your spouse.
Married couples naturally long to feel connected, appreciated, vulnerable and intimate with each other.

Under the Biden administration, the pro-life movement has two urgent concerns. First, is the rapid expansion of the use of chemical abortifacients in the U.S., which now account for nearly 50 percent of all abortions. And second is the vilification, slander and censorship of pro-life groups on social media by "Big Tech," which label defenders of life as "hate groups",even though today's youth are actually more pro-life than ever before, according to Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America.
Despite the fact that President Joe Biden has signed pro-abortion executive orders, God has been moving through the passage of "Heartbeat Bills" in 10 states (If a heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected against being aborted). On this edition of Family Talk, guest Janet Porter, author of A Heartbeat Away, says "what was once impossible is now inevitable! We are going to end abortion." She believes that God will use the Heartbeat law to eventually overturn Roe v. Wade, thanks in part to President Trump's three pro-life Supreme Court appointees.
The premise of the "Heartbeat Bill" is simple: If a heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected against being aborted. Janet Porter's work on behalf of the unborn over the past decade has resulted in 10 states passing Heartbeat Bills into law, and they're gaining in popularity. According to public opinion research from The Barna Group, 7 in 10 Americans now support these bills, including 86% of Republicans and 55% of Democrats. In Janet's latest book, A Heartbeat Away, she predicts that the Heartbeat Bill will eventually pierce the heart of Roe v. Wade.
With the election of President Joe Biden, the temptation for conservatives might be to withdraw, pull the sheets over our heads, and ask God to wake us up in four years.

In his February newsletter entitled, "Where Do We Go from Here?," Dr. James Dobson underscores his frustration that the U.S. Supreme Court sidestepped the issue of election integrity, and that both Georgia Senate seats were won by leftist Democrats in that state's January runoff election. As a result, Americans will be burdened with a radical agenda. His advice? Like the faithful farmer who weathers the heat and rain, we who are conservative Christians must continue to "stay in the field",knowing that God gives strength to the weary.
Last year, 100,000 high school students with special needs were honored guests at a special prom called, "A Night to Shine."

His new children's book, Bronco and Friends: A Party to Remember, illustrates that regardless of abilities or disabilities, all of God's children are special, wonderful, and perfectly made by our Creator.
Pastor Samuel Rodriguez describes how the world is divided into three types of people. Using the biblical narrative as metaphor, he believes that we are either enduring Egyptian bondage, wandering in the desert, or thriving in the Promised Land. Today, Pastor Sammy, author of From Survive to Thrive, contends that the majority of people are in perpetual survival mode. He challenges Christians not to be content with merely eating manna in the desert, but rather seeking milk and honey!
