Read this 5-day study guide to refocus, rebuild, or set a firm foundation for a rewarding life together.

Love & Respect

Ladies, marriage and committed relationships are supposed to be a source of comfort and security. But how should you respond when you no longer trust your partner? He’s supposed to protect your heart, but instead you feel abused, deceived and manipulated by gaslighting. This plan will help you understand how to use biblical discernment so you can regain your freedom from the insanity.    

When Love Uses Gaslighting

Psalm 127:4 says, “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.” When carefully aimed, arrows fly straight and true. If launched haphazardly, they’ll likely miss their mark.  During this 8-day plan, you will examine ways to aim your children towards God and launch them well. Each day includes a Scripture, devotional reading, and prayer.
