Did you know the average couple waits 6 years to get help in their marriage. That's 6 years of pain, hurt, frustration and lost opportunity.
On this episode of Strong By Design we have special guests Dr. Robert and Sharla Snow — themselves married for 31 years — helping other married couples find and develop the tools to strengthen their relationships.
Their podcast, The Master Your Marriage show, delivers straight-talking guidance on how to fill your marriage with fun, friendship and love, without it ever feeling like "hard work."
Today co-hosts Jared Haley and Chris Wilson discuss the value in identifying strengths and weaknesses in your relationship, how to navigate triggers, the five areas to examine in your marriage and much more.
No matter how long you've been struggling with your marriage, or how long it's been since you've felt that "spark," Robert and Sharla promise you, there is hope!
