The Key to a Lasting Marriage and a Family that Heals, Mends, Rests, and Restores...episode 216, Operation Wholeness for Marriage and Family w/ Rich and Val, part 5 of Clarity for the Mission of Parenthood.
This is the day! 32 years ago, we made a commitment to forever.
We didn't know what all we were committing to, but that's kind of the point.

We began to prioritize taking time to mend and nourish one another.
Arguments stopped being a tug-a-war for power and instead were discussions to find common-ground solutions.
We no longer were willing to make little "one-up" zingers at each other that would jeopardize healing.
Nitpicking was replaced with encouraging words and having grace for one another's imperfections.
Because my goal was Rich's healed heart, mind, body, and spirit, I no longer was willing to compromise his progress just so I could "win" an argument or get my way.
Likewise, because Rich's goal was my healed heart, mind, body, and spirit, he gave more effort in finding ways to affirm me and restore my injured areas.
We both began digging deeper into unhealthy emotions, facing past tr
