Help Us Help Others Listen now:

If you've been with us from the beginning, or have binged us up until this point, you'll know that we have purposely laid out content to follow a trajectory from first discovery, through safety and stability, grief and mourning, and at some point we will move through post-traumatic growth.

The past episode and this one deal with coupleship recovery and lands in the space of when you feel safe enough, especially if your husband has jumped into recovery with a full commitment. We know that some husbands take a longer time to come out of denial to embrace recovery and some never get there.

Today, Pam and I are talking about 3 more keys to coupleship recovery.

We Will be Discussing:

1. What is coupleship recovery?
2. When can a couple start recovery?
3. What importance does friendship have in recovery?
4. What other couple resources are out there?
5. What hope can we leave our listeners?
