Do you sense that things are not right in your marriage and you want to fix it? Do you feel that your husband does not want to engage in conversations and seems like he is evading the difficulties of marriage and/or parenthood?

Today, I have a treat for you! Lydia Santos joined me and we discussed why your marriage causes you anxiety. This is part one of our conversation; one in which Lydia shared about the dark moments of her marriage and how she navigated separation, divorce papers, and reconciliation.

I pray that this episode blesses you!
