Living Easy with Lindsey

This conversation felt like a chat between close friends over a cup of coffee and was like therapy for my soul. Mary Marantz has a beautiful, poetic way of speaking and is the author of Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots:Finding Grace, Freedom, and Purpose in an Overachieving World

Mary shares her story of growing up in a trailer and working her way up to attending an ivy league school and receiving a book deal - and how none of that ended up satisfied the constant pressure she places on herself to achieve.

We discuss how this constant desire to feel seen in our world prevents us from truly seeing others, how celebrating the wins of the people in our lives heals our own hearts and how the desire to achieve should always be rooted in a purposeful work for God's kingdom.

David Erdman is the author of The Ten Commandments of Marriage: Secrets of A Divorce Lawyer and you guys, I really loved this conversation. As most of you know, I spend A LOT of my time asking questions and MOST of my favorite responses come from couples who have been married 20 years longer than me. They always have very honest insight and great perspectives.

In today's conversation, David and I talk about his experience as a divorce lawyer and how he has used this career as an opportunity to share God's truth and love to the couples who come to him seeking a divorce. He talks about the #1 thing to look out for before getting married and one of the #1 causes of divorce (and it isn't always finances or adultery)

He shares the difference between a man and a woman when it comes to infidelity, helpful ways to revive a broken and hurting marriage and why in-laws have one of the greatest impacts on a relationship

I am gleaning his wisdom today and pray that you do, too.
