Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew

276 | everyone's a bad choice (choosing your spouse)


Listen Later

In today’s episode we talked about how "everyone's a bad choice.’ Everyone comes with flaws, baggage, and annoying habits — the trick is realizing love isn’t about finding perfection, it’s about choosing someone imperfect and choosing them again and again. We go through why we think this and would love to hear your thoughts too!

Love you guys!
