Summary
I hope you’re enjoying our real truth series as much as I am.
If I’m honest, most of the real truth topics we’re covering are areas of my life that could use a little bit of attention, and I’m guessing you’re dealing with the same things too!
Today is no exception as we visit with Gary Thomas, the King of Marriage. I mean, perhaps “King of Marriage” is not exactly in his bio, but when you write books like Sacred Marriage and Making your Marriage a Fortress, you’re pretty much royalty where I’m from.
We’re talking today about the many things threatening our marriages and how we prepare today for what may be a struggle tomorrow. If for no other reason, you can’t miss today because Gary has the best encouragement for pursuing emotional attachment with our spouses even when life happens and there’s barely a moment to spare.
We also have a great discussion on finances in our marriages, which pretty much lives in the top ten of problems married couples face.
I’m so thrilled to have Gary Thomas back with us today, and I know you’re going to love him!

| 0:58.6 | And so he's just a lot of fun and practical, hilarious. |
| 1:02.1 | And I'm just thankful that he's going to be here today because talking about marriage |

| 1:17.2 | I just want you to know that when it comes to marriage, maybe I don't talk about it as much. |
| 1:21.9 | I don't think anybody wants to hold themselves out as any sort of marriage expert, much less a parenting expert. |
