We almost can't believe we risked recording this episode.  If we are trustworthy at all on this topic, it's because of what we've learned through our struggle--as much as what we're enjoying in our ongoing healing.

This episode is for the benefit of the next generation.  We moved immaturely into marriage #1...and marriage #2.  We took all we knew--and all our immature habits of relating.  It wasn't enough.

Doug and Janet humbly offer these take-aways in their first ever BRAVE LOVE episode on the topic of marriage:

• Only in trusting, transformational relationships can we experience each other's love.  Transactional relationships may be part of a good business model, but they build a weak and fragile foundation for marriage.
• Only when we experience each other's love can we find the safety to be seen and heard--and discover our God-given identity, including our dreams.
• Only when we experience love--can we grow up and enjoy maturity in the world God designs, instead of hijack maturity in the world we might build for ourselves.
