Summary
Having good friendships is critical to your fulfillment in life and plays a big role in your marriage as well. However, not all of your friends will tell you the hard truth and some of the things that you really need to hear if you are to get out of a hard season in your relationship.
It's also unlikely that your friends are relationship coaches so there is a key piece of advice that you will not hear from any of them, that you really need to hear. This episode is all about how you need to stop acting from how you feel and start acting from your commitment. Listen to this episode so that you can take a stand to turn a hard season around and keep it from any further decline or disconnection.

| 0:10.3 | the same team no matter the challenge that you face. I'm one of your hosts, Erin Freeman. |
| 0:14.1 | And I'm Jocelyn Freeman, but you all just know us as the Freeman's. |

| 0:32.3 | episode that is more motivational. That's a quick perspective shift. That's something that will bring back some |
| 0:38.7 | motivation into your week or maybe just some straight up real talk that we think you all need to hear. |
| 0:44.4 | So that's what this episode is going to be. And I just have to say because I was like, |

| 1:09.3 | And when you were telling me about this topic, |
| 1:10.9 | I was like, just you have to do it. Like people need to hear this straight up what their |
| 1:16.7 | friends wouldn't say to them, but they need to hear it. So I want to just acknowledge you for that |
