Marriage on a Tightrope: 049: Handling General Conference

Allan doesn’t want to watch General Conference. Kattie is feeling like an old tradition is slipping away. Life Coach Claudine Gallacher sits down with Allan and Kattie to discuss how they can handle the upcoming General Conference.

Full disclosure: This was a difficult episode for Allan. Some episodes focus more on one side of the faith spectrum and this episode focused more on how Allan could support Kattie’s desire for them to watch General Conference together. This could be difficult for the spouse that has transitioned away from the church. As you listen, we strongly recommend reading through this guide by Claudine.
