Episode 22- Let's be honest about marriage.......it can be REALLY HARD!

In today's episode I chat with Cassie Kent. She has been inspired to create a community that is committed to living out our marriage vows everyday. She is full of hope, encouragement and practical ways that this can be lived out.

Ann Voskamp has been quoted as having said: 

"Healthy relationships have a healthy relationship with breaking and changing, with dying and rising, with the status quo shell breaking and steadily new emergings. The suffering of a breaking seed is what grows growth"

I think this quote is such a good reminder of what growth is. It's so important to be reminded of that because in todays age where breaking or suffering is seen as a failure and staying, rather than leaving, is seen as being weak, shameful and more often than not discouraged.

I am completely aware that all relationships are very different and we all bring into a marriage past hurts, fears and insecurities. These add to the complexity and dynamics of the marriage. If you are feeling totally overwhelmed please reach out and seek help. Confide in a trusted friend, a family member or seek professional help. I do not endorse domestic violence both physical or emotional. This is not the suffering I am referring to in this podcast. This is not growing. Nothing will grow from abuse.

Marriage isn't as much as staying happy, as much as marriage is about staying growing.
