Do you know your spouse’s triggers for negative emotions? If your spouse is an adult child of divorce, those triggers may be deeply rooted in the past. That’s what we’re talking about today on Episode 20: Heart in a Drawer, the podcast for adult children of divorce.
Today is the first episode in a 4-part series on marriage. I hope this series will give you greater understanding in your marriage.

Quotes to ponder:
“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.”
“The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.”
“Only with time do we really learn who the other person is and come to love the person for him- or herself and not just for the feelings and experiences they give us.”
“Marriage has the power to set the course of your life as a whole. If your marriage is strong, even if all the circumstances in your life around you are filled with trouble and weakness, it won’t matter. You will be able to move out into the world in strength.”
