Focus on the Family with Jim Daly - Building an Emotionally Healthy Marriage (Part 1 of 2)

About this episode

The episode discusses how to build an emotionally healthy marriage by addressing conflict and past experiences.

Conflict in marriage can often feel like an all-consuming and explosive cycle that eats away at peace. It’s essential to acknowledge past experiences that contribute to these negative cycles. Ron (a licensed marriage and family therapist) and his wife Nan describe how self-regulation and retraining the brain's triggers can help bring restoration and healing in a marriage. The couple shares their own journey through the tragic loss of their young son and how these principles impacted that difficult process.
