In episode 39 Josh Ashford and Kevin Brigance are joined by husband and father, Alex Acosta.

Alex Acosta is the leader of the marriage ministry at his church, Antioch Christian Fellowship in Corinth, TX

Alex was first married at a very young age and openly admits that he and his ex-wife weren't ready to get married. They didn't really understand the commitment it takes to make a marriage work.

So they parted ways. 

During that time he did a lot of work on himself but he talks about how his 2nd marriage really elevated the entire game.

He and his wife are a tag team duo that REALLY put in the work to make their marriage work and to guide others on how to do the same.

And in this episode he gives us the blueprint of what works (for them) and what doesn't.
