70 | Relationship Mini Series - How Honest Communication & This One Resource Changed Everything In Our Marriage
In this final episode of our Relationship Mini-Series, I’m so excited to bring on a very special guest—my husband! Together, we’re having a real, unfiltered conversation about how communication has shaped and strengthened our marriage over the years.
We know firsthand how tempting it can be to avoid difficult conversations, especially when emotions run high or it feels safer to stay silent. But through a lot of trial and error (and God's grace!), we’ve discovered that working through the hard conversations—even when it’s messy—leads to deeper trust, stronger unity, and true emotional intimacy.
In this episode, we’re sharing super practical ways you can start improving your communication today, no matter what season your marriage is in. Plus, we’re opening up about one major shift we made in our communication over the last five years that completely transformed how we relate to and support each other.
Marriage takes work, intentionality, and a whole lot of grace — but it is always, always worth it. If you’re craving better connection, more honest conversations, and a stronger foundation with your spouse, this conversation is for you.
👉 Lean in for real talk, practical encouragement, and hope for your marriage journey. You are not alone—and there’s so much beauty on the other side of choosing to grow together.
I pray this blesses you,
