  • Favorite Podcast!

    I listen to a variety of podcasts and Family Life Today has always been my favorite! Ann and Dave are always laughing with each other and the people they interview, so I always feel like I’m entering into a living room of people who are having a blast yet learning about the Lord with vulnerability—and I’m invited! Though I’ve never me Ann and Dave, there podcast makes me feel like I know them and they are some of my mentors as I navigate being a young mom and wife.

Gary Chapman on Decoding Your Teen’s True Desires
Q: What practical steps can parents take to observe and learn their teen's language?
Observe behavior, listen to complaints, and note what teens request most often, then use those clues to tailor affirmations and actions to fit their current love language.
Gary Chapman on Decoding Your Teen’s True Desires
Q: How should parents handle gifts as a love language with teens?
Parents should avoid simply giving everything asked for, and instead find meaningful, thoughtful gifts aligned with the teen's interests, or even inexpensive gestures that show awareness and care.
Gary Chapman on Decoding Your Teen’s True Desires
Q: How did the idea for adapting love languages to teenagers emerge?
Chapman explains that he analyzed thousands of counseling notes, identified recurring patterns of what couples and parents said they wanted, and categorized those needs into five languages, which he then applied to teenagers with updated dialects for more mature communication.
Protecting Your Marriage: John & Debra Fileta
Q: Ann, you're a therapist, so I'd love to hear your thought.
