Summary

Honesty in marriage starts with being honest with ourselves. To do that, we need not be "true to ourselves" but rather, we should focus on being true to God and his Word. In today's episode, we discussed how we can be "true to God's Word" and therefore, more honest with ourselves. Then from there, we covered three ground rules for honest conversations: never lie, always love, and take action. We hope it blesses you! Thanks for listening!
