Welcome back to the Dear Young Married Couple Podcast. Today's episode is going to be something really

special. Yes, this is a recording from our most recent Eros marriage weekend in Columbus, Ohio,

where we had the chance to sit down with couples and answer their raw, heartfelt questions during

our live Q&A. These Q&A moments are actually a highlight for us.
