In this episode, I’ll be breaking down common challenges experienced by couples and I’ll be exploring the 1986 film The Money Pit as we journey through these common challenges. SPOILER ALERT for anyone who has not seen this movie (as I will be discussing specific moments in the film). Also, my utilization of this film is not an endorsement of its content nor its themes.
