Their goal is to guide and empower families to be all that God wants for them to be. In this episode, Merrill and Linda discuss how to continually grow love and intimacy as a married couple through the use of their Summer of Love Marriage Assessment.
“You take your car in for regular oil changes, you go to the doctor for your regular checkups and go to the dentist for your regular cleanings. Why are we not being as intentional or really focused on our marriage and keeping it fresh?”, asks co-host Linda Hutchinson. Continuing to grow love and intimacy within your relationship takes work. Both you and your spouse must be on the same page about wanting to put in the time and energy required for building a healthy marriage. Today, co-hosts Linda and Merrill Hutchinson introduce their five part Summer of Love series all about keeping the fire of love and intimacy growing within a marriage.
