On today's episode, we celebrate a big day within our marriage story and in Bryan's story. Just a couple of days ago on January 30th, we celebrated 14 years of sobriety for Bryan. We share what the journey was like before Bryan was healed from his alcohol addiction and the pain that Shayla experienced. Bryan shares how he surrendered his addiction and encourages those battling an addiction with three practical ways to fight off the temptation. If you or a loved one are battling an addiction, we are here to help you and we believe in sobriety for you or your loved one.

On today's episode, we share three ways to improve communication in your marriage. Whether you find yourself struggling to connect as a couple or you feel your communication is pretty solid, we share how you can begin having deeper conversations. We begin our relationships by spending hours upon hours talking to each other, learning about each other, and connecting with each other. As the years past in a marriage, often times communication suffers and it is easy to point fingers at the other spouse.
