Marriage Q&A : Conflict, Compromise, & Our Hardest Year

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of marriage, including conflict and compromise, while answering listener questions.

Marriage isn’t always easy, and this week - we’re getting honest about it. We’re answering your questions about conflict, compromise, the “7-year itch,” and the hardest season of our marriages so far. From learning to stay aligned when life gets overwhelming to navigating big decisions as a team, we’re sharing what we’ve learned (and what we’re still figuring out). Whether you’re newly married, years into your relationship, or just here for the conversation, we’re so glad you’re here. 🤍 Flamingo: Get the Flamingo Starter Set for just $7 at https://www.shopflamingo.com/ABBY—includes the Original Razor, 5-blade cartridge, Foaming Shave Gel, and shower holder. #ad Forkful: Head to https://forkfulmeals.com/%code% for 50% off your first order today!
