Question Highlights

You’re married to a licensed marriage and family therapist, and even you experienced a season that nearly brought you to divorce. That says a lot about how difficult marriage can be. Can you tell us about that?
What was the one thing that made the biggest difference for you and Seth in walking toward a solution together when your marriage was so broken?
What simple shift can people start making today to stop the fighting or just to not feel unseen or unappreciated?
You suggest that couples pray together. What does that practically look like for you, as an example to everybody else?
What challenges did you face before you came to the Live Out Loud community that you feel like the mastermind has helped you get a result?
Your podcast, The Anatomy of Us, offers advice on relationships, communication tools and other common issues experienced in relationships. So, what is one of the most common communication issues? And better yet, how can we fix it?
