In this episode, we share real talk about why friendships matter for your marriage, the unique challenges of couple friendships, and three practical keys to building deep, lasting community: initiate, be curious, and be vulnerable. We'll also talk about the difference between hosting vs. hospitality, how to get over the fear of rejection, and why prayer is the best place to start when seeking friendships.
