great
I am 45 never married but will be marrying soon. We moved in together, which is a 1st for me as well. I thought "this would we easy" but I found myself despising the love of my life really quickly after spending all day, every day and night with one another. I want to thank you so much for this Podcast because it has helped me to stop, look and listen. I didn't realize that I am such a horrible active listener. You have been such a blessing along my journey. Normally I am a runner but not now!
Amazing Message! thank you!
