Every marriage is the union of two imperfect people. We don’t marry perfection. And to love our broken spouse we must go beyond mere feelings.Â

In this episode, Stephen brings a powerful letter that one husband wrote to his wife. In this letter, we unpack the truths this husband reveals and the common challenges that all marriages face in learning to love an imperfect, broken spouse.Â

If you are married, this episode will both challenge and encourage you in your ongoing pursuit to love your spouse.

Everyone listening to this podcast right now was once a child. Childhood is unavoidable on the journey to adulthood. But none of us got through our childhoods unscathed. And some of the residue of that continues to affect us now as adults.

Today we have back with us Dr. Eddie Capparucci to talk about his inner child therapy model and a new resource he has co-authored for women who struggle with love and sex addiction. Eddie’s model is based on the premise that we all have core emotional triggers that impact our inner child based on past wounds, and in order for us to heal and mature we must address these triggers by understanding our inner child and not simply ignoring our past.

In our conversation, Eddie defines the inner child model and highlights the 10 specific “inner children” for women to understand in order to heal and recover from love and sex addiction.
