Taping with Clayton & Ashlee Hurst, Darrell Scott, and Afshin Ziafat

Clayton and Ashlee Hurst

Men and women not only communicate differently and process information differently, but their intimate needs tend to vary as well.  Clayton and Ashlee Hurst explain in their new book, Hope for Marriage, how couples can move past each other’s differences and provide insights that will enable couples to love  their spouse in meaningful and friendly ways.  The Hursts have been married for more than 20 years and are the marriage and parenting pastors at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas.  Together they host Lakewood’s annual Spark Marriage Conference.
