Episode Details

In this episode, we explore the topic of new year resolutions and how being people of our word is so much more important. Jesus tells us that we must be people who mean what we say. Our YES must be our yes and our NO must be our NO.

We also give simple tips and ideas on how to be better at keeping our word this year and how not being people of our word can hurt not only ourselves and our relationship with our spouse but also with our kids and others.

Jennifer:           This is Marriage After God. Well, happy 2020, everyone.

Aaron:              I was wondering if you're going to say 2020 or 2,020.

Jennifer:           I'm a 2,020 er. I guess.

Aaron:              Yeah, I'm a 2020 er. I think.

Jennifer:           I don't think I've said it before.

Aaron:              Or 2,020? 2020. It's the first time we're saying it.

Jennifer:           It's the 20s.

Aaron:              It's the 20... We're in the 20s. I did see a meme that said... It said, "Everyone be aware the 20s is starting in a couple days." And it showed this picture of all these really dapper men wearing the 20s suits, and it looked really cool. I was like, "I wish. I wish it was that 20s." Now, we're in 2020.

Jennifer:           If they were here. This is crazy if you think about it.

Aaron:              We're in a new decade. I don't know if everyone's thought about that. But we're literally in a new decade. That's insane. So this is the first episode of the year for us. If you're noticing it's launching on a Monday, that's a new thing for us.

Jennifer:           Yeah.

Aaron:              We usually launch on Wednesdays, but now we're going to try launching on Mondays and see if we like that timeframe of launching episodes.

Jennifer:           I liked it.

Aaron:              2019? 2,019.

Jennifer:           2,019.

Aaron:              And I just wanted to do a quick recap of just what 2,019 looked like for us as a family. And we'
