This week, the CMR brings you a special podcast episode on marriage, relationships, and quarantine. Chris and Alisa were featured as guests on Calvary Life's podcast to talk about how to encourage grace in your home, how to counter the desire to criticize, and how to facilitate difficult discussions.

Because of some recent circumstances I am stuck at home all day, and while I love my family, I am starting to feel like my boundaries are being pushed—or like I am becoming trapped. What can I do before I go crazy?

Chris and Tim went live on Facebook last week to talk about how to be married quarantine. The guys go over three tips to help navigate and adapt to the new rules and expectations of the new normal we are all living.

Chris Grace discusses how the Enneagram can be used as a tool to strengthen relationships.

What is the best thing to do when your spouse doesn't want to talk about your conflicts or their feelings or thoughts about it. What if they just want to run away and ignore it as if there is no conflict at all?

Do you feel spiritually distant from your spouse? A lot of couples feel closest to God in different ways, and that's okay! Chris and Alisa have a few tips to help you and your spouse connect with one another spiritually.

What makes a conversation turn sideways? Why do words have the ability to hold power over us? Believe it or not, our perceptions have a lot to do with it. In this episode, Tim and Chris dive deeper into how our perceptions of ourselves affect relationships.

I have been dating a Christian guy for six months now. He recently told me that he has struggled with porn for 14 years. He is 28 and watches porn a few times a week. He wants me to forgive/extend grace to him while he is working on overcoming his addiction. Is it good or healthy for me to stay in a relationship with someone who is struggling with porn?

Whether we like it or not, our reality is based on our perceptions. In this episode, Chris and Tim explore how perceptions shape our relationships and how to discern when they can help or hinder healthy connection with others.
