Page 109 of the unfolding is the story of Joe and Tara Buchanan.

Once I said I do, I think that we both expected there to be all this weight just falls off.

What it ends up doing, it ends up stirring things up.

And I think one of the things that God taught me throughout our whole marriage is we're never done with the healing process.

God's story has been unfolding.

Since the beginning of time.

He invites you to be a part of it.

Hi, this is Meredith Foster.

We come into marriage with a lot of stuff, baggage, expectations, when your spouse's baggage is harder than you expected, when marriage doesn't turn out quite a lot of stuff, baggage, expectations, when your spouse's baggage is harder than you expected, when marriage doesn't turn out quite the way you hoped. How do you navigate that?

Joe and Tara Buchanan came into their marriage with very different backgrounds. Joe shares

the story of his childhood in page one of the unfolding. And if you haven't heard it,

I highly recommend listening because it's one of the unfolding. And if you haven't heard it, I highly recommend listening

because it's one of the most powerful stories of transformation you'll ever hear. And it will give

you some background on some of the challenges he faced and trying to have a healthy marriage.

Tara's background was pretty much the polar opposite. A healthy intact family,

it had faith at its foundation. Two people with such

different histories were bound to face some hard stuff. And Joe and Tara absolutely did.

So one of the things I think is very interesting about your story is your age difference. So Tara,

you were 16? Well, I was technically 15 when I first met Joe and when he

noticed me. But yes, when we started dating, I was 16. And Joe, how old were you? Well, that's the thing.

Her being 16 is not a big deal unless you realize that I was almost 21. That changes everything.
