Greetings fears listeners Ryan here. Hey, we have a special episode for you this week is actually a recording of a live online event

We did in partnership with our friends over at impactless ministries, which actually used to be

Promise keepers Canada they were gracious enough to invite us to speak specifically on the topic of transparency

During a lockdown now if you're familiar with the promise keepers ministry

You'll know that it's primarily a ministry geared toward men

But Selena was there with me on the talk and we were able to I think examine these issues from both our perspective

So namely we talked about the five biggest obstacles to being truly known by our wives or by our spouses

During lockdown see what we're finding is that while couples are spending more time than ever together during lockdown and during isolation things like that

They're actually

Drifting apart emotionally and even spiritually and even physically in terms of their intimacy

So while we talk through each one of these five common obstacles

We also talked through a truth to kind of dispel the lie that is behind the obstacle

And we offered a step out into the light

So it was a great conversation. I feel like we covered some new ground

I was also really encouraged by the question and answer time that we had toward the end

Paul the facilitator asked us some really elucidating questions and we had a great time answering those so thank you for joining us

We hope this special episode blesses you and we will see you as usual on the other side

Welcome to the fierce marriage podcast where we believe that marriage takes fierce to an acid that never gives up and refuses to give in

Here we'll share openly and honestly about all things marriage

Sex, communication, finance, priorities, purpose, and everything in between

Laugh, ponder, enjoy, and un-candid gospel-centered conversations

And I would now like to introduce to you Ryan and Selena Frederick
