Today we tackled the countercultural topic that marriage isn’t just about your happiness. Oof, we know this one is a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people but in a world telling us to only pursue what makes us feel happy in the moment, we felt this episode was an important reminder that when it comes to your commitment to marriage, it’s always worth pursuing. We hope that whether you’re engaged, newlyweds, or have been married for a long time you find hope in this episode, knowing that marriage is a beautiful gift and wonderful tool for character refinement, compromise and selflessness- sometimes more than we’d prefer ;) Love you guys!
