One year of marriage has taught us much, but we have much more to learn.
I invited my husband back to reflect on our first year of marriage. We share what we’ve learned about God, each other and ourselves admitting where we feel strong as a couple and some areas we know we should work on. We discuss our “redeemed family”, challenges of co-parenting, practical ways we try to keep faith central in our family and what’s in each other’s 30%. If you heard D in episode 002, you know what that means. If not, go back and listen to that, first! ?
You’re getting an inside peek into our imperfect marriage, with hopes you can glean some fresh ideas and encouragement for yours, too.
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”
– Mignon McLaughlin
