00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,480
S1: A listener writes, Gary is a pastor. What can I

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,720
S1: do to help military couples in our church?

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,720
S2: I wish more pastors were asking that question because many

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,920
S2: times churches simply ignore military couples. Military couples face challenges

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,560
S2: that civilian couples do not face. That's why the divorce

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,360
S2: rate is much higher among military couples. I would say

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,040
S2: starting a place for military couples to talk. Get someone

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,360
S2: who's a veteran, who has the ability to lead small

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,960
S2: groups and let it be a place where military people

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,080
S2: can come and talk about life with each other. A

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,519
S2: good book to use in that framework would be the

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,040
S2: Five Love Languages Military Edition. To have such a group

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,959
S2: and use that as a guide, I think would greatly

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,919
S2: enhance military couples in your church and would say to them,

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,720
S2: we care about you.
