A Marriage that Matters: Setting Boundaries When it Stings | Reyna + Joseph Wilson
“Did you know that 50% of military marriages end in divorce?” “You really should think about slowing down, you don’t know each other that well…” “Are you sure a baby is what you need right now?” Man, we could go on and on and we’re sure we’re not alone in some of you hearing these phrases in your own story as well! This week on the podcast Joseph joins me in sharing about our testing engagement season, and how we learned to set the foundation of creating boundaries in the areas we would come to need it most. If you’re single, dating, or married — this episode is for you to hear some encouragement in the hard and learn how we protect our marriage from the noise, and even the people around us that seem to love us a little “too well.”
