EP 060, Janet Dance, A Frayed Knot

Happy Belated Valentine's Day, everyone!!! Let's talk marriage and relationships. Janet Dance and her husband, Mark, have spent years ministering to married couples. Mark is currently serving in Pastoral Development for Oklahoma Baptist Ministers, and formerly served with Lifeway and pastored several churches. Janet has been by his side every step of the way. They have been married for 33 years and have two grown children. We get to talk to Janet all about this today. Janet wears many hats and is a talented jack of all trades. She has been a teacher, a dietician, a seamstress, taught at a university, is currently a realtor! What an overachiever! (Enneagram 3, y'all). One of the things we talk about is what it's like to grow up as a Preacher's Kid (a.k.a.: P.K.) and the pressures that can come with that. Janet went through some hard things in regards to finding herself and not just being what she thought others expected her to be. (Heads-up: there is some discussion on cutting.) Her passion is for marriages and making them work. She gives us some great ideas for working on our marriages. If you aren't married, stick around and check this out! This is good relationship advice. 1. Connect every day. 2. Date weekly; never stop dating. 3. Get away at least once a year. 4. Fight it out...fight for your marriage to be great. Don't settle, Marriage is hard, divorce is hard, choose your hard.
