Blended Family Breakthrough

51. Overcoming Discouragement (Part 1)


Listen Later

It's common for blended family couples to get stuck in discouragement when they've experienced challenging setbacks and feel like they've failed over and over. 

We've been there and we'll share the most difficult season of our marriage — when we were both so discouraged that we almost called it quits!  Thankfully, we learned how to break free from discouragement — and you can too. 

Listen in to this first episode in a 3-part series and discover a simple, yet effective communication tool that'll help you learn from painful setbacks so that you can keep moving forward together… 

…and not get stuck in discouragement!

We want to encourage you and pass on what we've learned about moving beyond  discouragement and growing more connection as a couple.

You'll Discover:

  • Our season of discouragement that almost ended our marriage
  • How couples get stuck in cycles of discouragement
  • A new mindset around setbacks and failure
  • A practical communication tool for new insight and growth
  • How to use setbacks as learning opportunities
