Hey, welcome to the Naked Marriage Podcast. We are David Ashley Willis and on this podcast,

0:07.1

we address the truth about sex, intimacy, and lifelong love.

0:11.3

0:15.0

all this is relates to where we are in life and marriage. But I think this is one that's

0:18.7

timely that we can all relate to in some degree. And it's about how to work through disappointment
