Series Title: A Story of LDS Faith Expansion & Marital Resilience [Part IV of V]

In this sensitive-content exclusive episode, Val tackles a tough theme--why does the LDS faith journey of one partner put thousands of marriages into a full blown tailspin?  In this episode she offers ideas that stem from hundreds of professional hours working with LDS couples in deep pain.  

Topics covered in this episode include fear experienced due to the eternal marriage theology, low differentiation in many marriages, struggles that many couples have in managing conflict constructively, and the impact that being part of an institutional patriarchy may have on issues of growth and flourishing for couples.  

This episode concluded with Val offering insights on what she has learned in working with couples who come to thrive following the faith journey of one partner.  If your marriage is on shaky ground, this episode might offer valuable wisdom, hope, and direction to you!
