About B&F Ministry
"A bird and fish may fall in love, but where will they make a home?" The real question becomes how can two different people from two vastly differing perspectives love one another or simply just get along? Easy. Let God build your habitat and have dominion over it.
Opposites do attract, and thankfully so! Darrel & Sheree Hope are joining the movement to improve the status of covenant marriage. As marriage counselors, we define ourselves as advocates who are passionate about all things related to marriage. In fact, as marriage counselors (a.k.a. "relationship educators"), we focus on improving the health and status of marriages as our calling. We work on various levels to bring awareness and biblical application to a society plagued with conflict, infidelity, divorce and the difficulties of blending families.

Join us as we inform our production manager of our impromptu conversation over breakfast about one of our listener's comments from the last episode. As we were sitting down to breakfast, we decided to go over some of the responses to what Fish (Darrel) shared with us about Adam and Eve being one. (We can't tell you. You have to go back and listen to it.) And of course, I hit the record button. Let us know your thoughts by leaving a comment or email us at: bandf_ministry@outlook.com.

Today, we are taking time again to address a listener's comments from our last episode. What happened? Last week, Fish (Darrel) took us into the deeper side of an issue that can slowly erode and degrade our relationships. He so eloquently defended the honor of those who may not handle responsibility in a manner that is suitable for others. In fact, you'll see that he gained a new following! LOL! If you missed last week's episode, be sure to go back and listen so that you can keep up with us this week as we discuss the answer to the question: "Are they spontaneous or just irresponsible?"

Join us as we continue our conversation from the last episode, Spontaneity vs. Irresponsibility In Relationships. Fish (Darrel) did a great job defending his perspective but it did not come without a price for Bird (Sheree). Listen as she desperately tries to dodge Aunt Patsy to get into the office in time before Fish becomes spontaneous and throws off the system. Can we implement realistic systems that prevent us from failing in our relationships? Take a break and listen as she has to discusses her experience with her system that she used to keep things in line in her life and relationships.

Is the fairy tale real? Are we making more out of romance than what it really is? Should we fantasize about the way we want to see our love story play out? Most importantly, does Prince Charming or the princess exist? What have we been taught about these ideas that have such a heavy influence on the choices and decisions we make in our relationships? What should we believe when it comes to love? Join us as we discuss the answers to these and more questions that tend to influence the way we date and how we choose our mates. We look forward to you joining us and sharing your thoughts by leaving a comment or question below. Or you can email us at: bandf_ministry@outlook.com.

You don't want to miss the continuation of last week's episode! How do we find our princess? How do we land a Prince Charming? To serenade or not to serenade... That is definitely not in question. However, these days, knowing what to look for in a mate is questionable. As you listen, we offer additional insight that we hope will help. Whether you are Prince Charming or a future princess, we desire that you have the tools to choose wisely as you dare to dream about love and living happily ever after.

Looking for that feeling of butterflies in your stomach when it comes to a love connection? Look up! All roads lead back to our Father. God is love, and the love we desire comes from our heavenly Father. That includes our need for us to know love just like He does.

This week, we begin to discuss one of our revelations described in a chapter in our book, For This Reason. Find out how we can have the kind of marriage—on earth as it is in heaven. Let’s celebrate as we discuss the achievability of having the kind of relational union that is the mirror image of our Triune God.
