Jay, this was another great classic podcast that shines and highlights the absolute beauty and wonder of marriage. Alisa and Tony’s love and commitment to one another is so obvious. Their language is so connected to each other and it was such a blissful experience for me as a single woman to have such a positive encounter as it relates to marriage. So many individuals have such an adverse view on marriage and relationships, but this couple is proof that marriage can REALLY be GREAT! I thank your guest for sharing some much advise about keeping a marriage refresh and renewed and this type of focus begins in a relationship ordered and directed by God. They truly make me want to meet someone and share my life in such a very special way. This was another time you stepped up the level of your podcast to sincerely illuminate the best of the best. I thank your guest and I thank you Jay. I plan to visit their website and read the materials listed in the show notes. Keep this great quality content coming to aid us in believing and receiving great and lasting relationships. I am expecting Real Love too.

Yes, Tony and Alisa are so genuine and amazing! It was such a pleasure to have had the opportunity to have this discussion with them.
I agree, when marriage is done the RIGHT way, in accordance with God’s will and purpose, it is really great!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed the discussion and I would greatly appreciate it if you checked out their website and content. It’s really beneficial!

Tony and Alisa having established date nights and letting their children see them put each other first in the family unit, gives their children an example and positive model to pattern their future relationships and ultimately their marriage after. What a priceless legacy to give your offspring. There were so many more tips, but this one was the most impacting to me.
August 11, 2014
Yes, that is such an amazing example for their children. This is definitely something more parents should consider doing. It will go a long way, in terms of how children view and respect the institute and union of marriage.

Best were the ideas for different dates. After so many years, I was impressed with their creativity. I also like the humility in your guests, they weren’t this creative in the first six years!
I’d like to go on a helicopter ride around my city. Or a picnic. I haven’t had a date like that for either idea. It’s true, it doesn’t have to be expensive. I’d just love for a guy to plan the little details (like the food and blanket for a picnic) that make stuff special.
August 11, 2014
Yes, they were very honest and transparent. You know I always enjoy and respect that.
Oooow a helicopter ride around the city sounds like so much fun. I’d never thought of that before you mentioned it. Gotta add it to the list. Thanks Autumn!
The thought is truly what counts.
