Love and Marriage: Hers

Many of us in recovery have found our marriages and homes to be more like a triage zone on a battlefield than a healthy space where we feel loved and wanted; and looking back on where some of our marriages were (and where some of your marriages might be now), when one or both people in a marriage aren’t in a healthy place, our efforts turn from focusing on growing together and instead end up being about keeping our marriages alive. 

On today’s episode I’ll be joined by my wife Natalie, previous guest Carol Hoelle and new guest Jenn Demerly as they share the struggles of going from a place of survival in their marriages to opening themselves up to the promise of a full, happy, healthy marriage with a way forward into growth and change. As you’ll hear in this episode, opening up to that isn’t easy, and it doesn’t mean there won’t be conflict or friction- but it does mean there’s a hope of a better life together. 

This is the Hers episode of the Love & Marriage series.
