Drew and Lynn are sharing the story of their lives, their relationship and their divorce in today’s episode. Their wish is that the information helps others make it through the hard decisions they may be facing based on what they have learned along the journey of their marriage. This very open and vulnerable exchange focuses on three important points of encouragement. One is having a long-term vision for your life. Two is to not bring up past events and three is to focus on yourself. A response to a situation will almost always bring about better results than a reaction.
