In Sickness + Health: Battle Tested Marriage Vows with Neysa Taylor


Listen Later

What happens when life throws you a devastating transition. Your NEXT becomes the worst case scenario but you don’t have another choice but to go through it.

When Neysa Taylor got married to her college sweetheart Christopher, she had no idea the rollercoaster that was in store. Their marriage had very high, highs and extremely low, lows. But nothing was quite like Chris’ multiple bouts with cancer. He passed away in December 2019.
