Twenty years into a broken marriage. Emotionally disconnected. Desperately wanting to fix things but having no idea how. Afraid of divorce but drowning in loneliness.

Gail Valenti was stuck—until the day she made the most counterintuitive decision of her life.

In this honest conversation, Gail shares how choosing what felt like the riskiest path led to complete restoration. From a devastating moment driving away from her husband to a second wedding ceremony years later, her story proves that God's tools for fighting look nothing like our own.

Now 75 and thriving, Gail helps other couples repair the walls she once thought were impossible to rebuild.
