Summary

Have you and your spouse ever looked at each other and wondered, "Who did we marry?" Lewis Smedes once said, "My wife has lived with at least five different men since we were wed—and each of the five has been me." It's amazing how much we change: sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better. In this episode, we talk about the various "seasons" we go through as individuals and how those "seasons" influence our marriage. We also talk about practical ways to enter into your spouse's world in the good, bad, and ugly. We talk about:

How to prioritize what's going on within your spouse's heart more than what's going on between the two of you
Ways to empathetically step into your spouse's world
Practical ways to dream with your spouse and offer affirmation
