What happens to us in the past never really stays in the past. When there is unaddressed and unhealed trauma lingering from our past we drag those experiences with us into the future and into our relationships. So how can we resolve the trauma in our past in order to promote a healthy long-lasting relationship? In this episode, I discuss trauma and its impact on your current relationship and how awareness, empathy, healing, and education can help you overcome your past.

Why is it that in our society 50% of marriages end in divorce? Is there something we’re missing? I think that the missing piece is marriage education, whether considering marriage or already married scientific research overwhelmingly demonstrates that marriage programs are effective. These studies make the case that marriages are not merely enabled to survive, but can also thrive when couples learn the skills to make their relationships work. In this episode, I discuss the importance of marriage education and its positive effect on my life.
