#60 Cheers to 40 Years! Celebrating the Gift of Marriage with special guest, Bryan Melton

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Sanctuary Stirrings Fall Series!I’m especially excited about this episode because I’m joined by the MOST IMPORTANT guest I’ve ever had—or ever will have—on the podcast: my husband of 40 years, the one and only Bryan Melton!This is Part One of our “Cheers to 40 Years” conversation, as we look back over four decades together and reflect on the gift of marriage and what God has taught us along the way.In this episode, you’ll get to know Bryan a little better—my husband, former DJ, and the visionary behind the Sanctuary at Bear Creek. We talk about the very different families and ideas about marriage we grew up with, what we each brought into our relationship, and the miraculous—and slightly quirky!—story of how God brought us together.In a time when ideas about marriage, relationships, men and women, and what it means to build a life together continue to shift, we go back to the beginning and ask some bigger questions:Why did God create marriage? What makes it such a gift? What can happen when God brings two very different people together to journey through life side by side?Come along for this personal, fun, and faith-filledconversation as Bryan and I celebrate 40 years together and reflect on God’s beautiful gift of marriage.---Resources Connected to This Episode:Alive!
