Marriage- How to get it All right - Listener email

Recently, one of our listeners found himself in a place of frustration. His question, "How do you keep everything going, how do You get it all right"(Paraphrased).

That should be refreshingly frustrating... Truth be told its our imperfections, our proclivities to failure and resiliency, our desire to grow and better ou...

I would like to demystify the idea about therapy and rebrand it to mean something more along the lines of coaching. All the greats needed a coach and conversations to continue down the pa...
