Summary

Dave and Ashley Willis help husbands and wives rediscover God's design for a "naked marriage" - where they can be emotionally, spiritually and physically vulnerable and transparent with each other. They share their own love story and describe how “love is not enough” to sustain a lifelong marriage; couples need to commit to serving and sacrificing for each other. They also talk about dealing with the past, balancing marriage and motherhood, financial struggles, and being faithful "in sickness and in health."
