How Faith Strengthens Our Relationships: the Bujnowskis

Help for Loving Relationships

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Aaron & Julie Bujnowski share how insights gained from prayer and personal revelation informed big decisions: Should we move? How should we tackle cancer treatment? They offer many other spiritual insights about personal development, loving relationships and how worship in the temple brings a spiritual power that comes from faith in Jesus Christ. They provide many life experiences of how this spiritual power deepens their loving relationships and strengthens their resilience to endure the toughest adversities that life can bring. Here are some nuggets of wisdom from this episode:

• Being curious & non-judgemental are foundation principles to love others well
• Contrasting experiences in life allow us to appreciate both joy and hardship
• Our belief that families can be together forever helps us prioritize marriage & family relationships as the most important
• Marriage helps us face our limitations & weaknesses because we are underdeveloped. We need to mature so that we can love our spouse more fully
• Faith in Christ empowers us to endure life hardships and helps us feel peace even in life's darkest moments
• A faith community is where we practice loving well. Each congregration will have a wide range of diversity in people, which teaches us how to build bridges and support one another despite our differences
