Summary

In this special Fan Mail Friday re-run, originally recorded during our 36th-anniversary trip to Kona, Jay and I dive into your candid questions about marriage—intimacy after babies, navigating NFP, dating on a budget, perimenopause and HRT, staying close in busy seasons, and why Christ at the center changes everything. It’s honest, practical, and hope-filled (heads-up: rated “M” for Marriage). If you missed it the first time—or need the encouragement again—this one’s for you. Show up for your marriage—you’ll be encouraged.
