Dan and Danielle on the Canadian marriage TV show A Better Us with Ron and Ann Mainse and Pinball Mike Clemons and Diane

We are so thrilled to be a regular part of the marriage TV show A Better Us (Nationally broadcast in Canada, and available on YouTube) Led by Ron and Ann Mainse, the show features regular guests like Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, Gary Chapman, Dave and Ashley Willis, Jimmy Evans, Shaunti Feldhahn, Debra Fileta and Gary Thomas, along with many others.

The mission is to provide couples with hope through Bible-based insights, honest & fun discussions, and practical tools for everyday life. We often comment how even being a part of A Better Us has done that very thing in our own marriage and we love sharing what we continually learn from these and many other thought-leaders.

Below are just a few of the “kitchen couples” segments of the show. Enjoy!

Got family baggage, patterns and history you'd rather leave in the past? With Christ you can! #IGMUP #abetterus

The Bible is NOT a self help book filled with good ideas that we need to work out in our own strength. Instead, it reveals our need for divine intervention and points us to the God who can make and remake us better than any 12 step plan ever could! #IGMUP #abetterus

Is your spouse annoying you? You can CHOOSE to be the solution to the problem rather than letting their annoyance run your marriage satisfaction into the ground. Rise above! #IGMUP #abetterus

Marriage is not "his" and "hers" it's all-in - all ONE. When we compartmentalize and keep things from each other we sow seeds of distrust and disconnection. Two becoming one takes time, but embrace the process - even when it means letting go of who you once were separately, to who you both are together now. #IGMUP #abetterus

The Bible does not promise a marriage, parenting or life at all without TROUBLE. In fact, it promises the exact opposite.
BUT the promise is also that Jesus is a friend that sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24) and that He will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5) and countless other examples and promises that HE will sustain you in your time of need when you lean into him. You will find Him when you seek Him with your whole heart (Jeremiah 29:23) Lean into The One who see you, knows you and cares deeply about you. His eye is on you! (Matthew 6:25-27)

How to encourage your man to keep talking when they start. Don't scare them away with scolding or judgement. Embrace the honesty and you'll open the door to more! #IGMUP #abetterus

There is no fruit of the Spirit called "mind reading" - In order to know what's really going on with your spouse you need to stay connected to them. Avoid assuming and initiate regular conversations that keep you both in the know!

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up" (1 Thes 5:11)⁠
⁠
If YOU are not going to be intentional about building up your spouse with words than WHO IS 😱❓️⁠
⁠
You ultimately benefit... if you make them feel like a million bucks, half of that is yours!! 😆 ⁠

Parenting ain't for the faint of heart, y'all! 😁⁠
⁠
COMMUNICATION between you and your TEAMMATE (your spouse) is key. Especially if you come from differing approaches in your family of origin.⁠
⁠
Make sure you involve our Heavenly Father as well - He loves your kids even more than you do and can and will help! 🥰⁠

Do you over-use sarcasm in your marriage or life? ⁠
⁠
Careful - Not everyone finds you as funny as you think you are... 🙃⁠
⁠
Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I am only joking!” Ephesians 4:29 ⁠
⁠
Yes, sarcasm isn't necessarily "deceiving" but the principle of doing something that causes strife and then saying “I am only joking!” holds true.⁠
⁠
Maybe find a better way to be funny?⁠ #abetterus

One of our biggest ongoing fights...⁠
⁠
Cause both sides were SO engrained in us from our respective families...⁠
⁠
(BTW. We compromised...⁠
..and we don't have a dog.) 🥲⁠
⁠
"Incompatibilities" do not mean you've "married-wrong" it's just one of many things you'll need to compromise on and work through. And that process, if honor, respect and team are kept in the forefront, will make you more like Christ. ⁠
⁠
What core incompatibilities have YOU worked through in your marriage?⁠ #abetterus

When you STAY close to the Lord with a daily intimate relationship with Him you don't have to look for Him when trouble comes to your life or marriage.⁠
⁠
The very best thing you can do for your marriage is maintain a close relationship with Jesus!⁠
