Welcome to this week's episode of Marriage on a Tightrope. We have an important and heartfelt episode lined up for you today. Our main focus is on church camps and how to approach discussing them with your children.

Alongside this discussion, we'll also be opening up about some personal news: recently, we received the difficult news that my father has little time left to live. We'll share how this news has impacted our family and how we're navigating this challenging time together. Join us as we explore both the practical aspects of church camps and the emotional journey of dealing with family health issues. It's a raw and honest conversation you won't want to miss.

We have so many exciting ways you can connect with us over the next few months. Our Workshop on a Tightrope starts August 4th! This is the 11th session to date and the only workshop we will be doing this year. We partner with Natasha Helfer to bring you a 7 week course specifically to help your mixed faith marriage. We've had hundreds of couples go through the program and we've received incredible support from them. We meet every Sunday evening via zoom (7pm MST), and we spend two hours together going over material with our therapist Natasha Helfer.

It is life changing for marriages who are in their mixed faith era. You can join us and sign up here.  If you have any questions you can email us @[email protected]

We have opened the Safely Gathered Retreat 2024 Registration for all of our Marriage on a Tightrope members. We want you to have first spots available before we open it to Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife audience. We are honored and excited to have the amazing Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife to join us and talk about "Sexuality and Self; Creating Strength in Ourselves and Our Intimate Relationships." Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife does an excellent job in including those who are married, divorced, single, widowed, or anywhere else you may fall. This is all about your own sexual desires. She also knows that our audience is a diverse one with those who have never been Mormon, those in the LDS church, those who have left, those in a mixed faith marriage, and anyone in between.

This is sure to sell out and we would love to see you there. Go to this Eventbrite link to register:
