Summary
Today we are talking all about loving our spouse even when we don't FEEL it. Is it okay if we don't "feel the love" for our spouse? Does it even matter, as long as we are still committed to each other? Today Dr. Kim and Christina will address "that lovin' feeling" in marriage. They talk about whether they have ever lost those feelings in their own marriages, what to do if that happens to you, and practical ways to help bring the love back into your marriage today.
We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
