Summary
I love something Christina said on a recent episode: "When your marriage is reflected in your budget, your calendar, your thoughts, and your prayers then it is a top priority." As we get the new year started, it's a great time to take stock of your marriage. What's going well, and what's just not working? So today I'm talking to Dr. Kim about what it means to check up on your marriage annually, how he and Nancy do this, and how to get started if, like me, this is pretty new to you and your spouse!
We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
