Today’s episode was a vulnerable one. Andrew and I have walked through some hard times in our marriage that, at the time, were honestly really rough. Looking back now, they have brought us so much closer together and we’re better for it. Today we’re sharing some of the hardest seasons of our marriage in hopes that it encourages anyone out there to feel less alone. NOBODY has a perfect marriage and the more open we can be with each other about the struggles, the more we can support each other to keep fighting the good fight. If you’re going through a hard time in marriage just remember, It’s never too late to ask for help or bring people in to walk with you through it.

Love you guys,

Shawn & Andrew
