Keeping Your Word in Marriage: Stop Saying One Thing and Doing Another

Do you struggle with keeping your word? Aaron and Jennifer Smith explore the discrepancy between what we say and what we actually do, from everyday promises like I'll be there at 10 or I'll pray for you, to commitments we make to ourselves. Using honest examples from their own lives, they unpack why we make hollow promises, including wanting to please people in the moment and living lives too chaotic to follow through, and why broken words erode both our self-perception and our spouse's trust. Grounded in James 5:12, Matthew 5:37, Proverbs 18:21, and Ecclesiastes 5, they share practical ways to say yes or no instead of maybe, and they close with grace: only Jesus perfectly controlled His tongue, and God never goes back on His word.
