[E209] Marriage in the Midst
Update: 2025-04-08
Description
Marriage is hard. And if you’re in a tough season, you are not alone!
On today’s episode, we sit down with Empowered to Connect's very own Mo and Tona Ottinger, as they share their marriage journey with honesty and wisdom.
What happens when you and your spouse aren’t on the same page? When you realize marriage isn’t as simple as A + B = C? Your marriage doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s—but growth happens when we extend the same compassion to our spouse that we do to our kids.
As Mo shares on the episode:
"This is harder than I thought… and there is a gift in the growing."
Join us for this powerful conversation about love, struggle, and the beauty of learning together.
