Summary

Looking for a good marriage support group is so smart because we humans are social creatures who tend to do what we see others doing. If someone you know is getting divorced, that puts pressure on your relationship. But if you’re spending time with people who are not only staying married but also talking about how they’re improving their marriages, even if they’re facing big challenges, that strengthens your marriage. How do you find such a group? Because when you’re struggling in your marriage, the last thing you want is to end up in the wrong place, wasting time and energy. If you’re anything like I was when my marriage was falling apart, you’re already feeling fragile and worried. You don’t have the energy to waste. You just need relief from the pain and stress ASAP. On today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, I’m going to tell you how to find the best marriage support group.

Plus, my guest Anna and her husband struggled through alcoholism and emotional and physical abuse. Here’s the one thing she found out that made their constant fighting stop!

1:03.9	Well, almost every wife, and it's totally free.
1:07.9	But I'm getting ahead of myself here
1:09.9	because I am very passionate about this topic because before I had a marriage support group,

1:24.0	Marriage counseling didn't work for us and I didn't know what else to do to get my husband to straighten up.

1:41.9	pal Renee because that seemed cool.
1:44.6	And then I also signed up for Advanced Placement English because that's my other pal Marna was doing.
