168. How to Accept Differences in Marriage
Jan 30, 2025
Why is it that the things that initially attracted us to our spouse are the same things that drive us crazy? I’ve been married for 22 years and a marriage therapist for 20. I get it. So in today's episode of Always Hope, we are going to breakdown how to embrace those differences and not see them as an obstacle to intimacy. I share some great stories in this episode that make these points super practical.
Tune in to learn more about how to navigate these challenges and build a stronger, more collaborative relationship.
