The best in the business

Biola has a hidden Gem in the Art of Relationships Podcast and Center of Marriage and Relationships. We learn so much from each podcast. It adds tools to your tool belt, but not only for marriage but friendships, roommates and family members. Highly recommend!!! I tell all my friends to listen!

Our Favorite!

Nothing like listening to Chris and Alisa share their wisdom! For almost a decade they have been our “go to” for marriage and relationship advice. Everyone who wants a thriving relationship and marriage should connect and listen with the CMR!

Abrupt transition

I tried to find out why Tim suddenly stopped being a show host, and i couldn’t find anything. I really miss him on the show and wish I had some closure for why he left. Still a good show but I miss the humor and his Communication perspective.
