Summary

Bob Goff is a 7. His wife, Maria, is a 9. This is an episode about how two very different types can love and compliment each other. We learned a lot about 7's on last week's episode with Rob Bell, and while we'll dig more into the 7 as we talk to Bob, we're going to get a great understanding of the 9 as Maria joins today's conversation. 
 
Be sure and check out Bob's book, Love Does, and Maria's new book, Love Lives Here.
 
Also, check out Dream Big Framework to learn about Bob's upcoming workshop.
