109. Millennials & Marriage: What’s Hard? What’s Great?

What an interesting time to be alive—isn’t that right, Millennials? That’s especially true when it comes to being partnered or married to someone, because the world looks a liiiiiittle different than when our parents were our age and trying to navigate their own relationships (i.e. The economy! A pandemic! Social media!). Laura and Jessa get vulnerable and peel back the curtain on their marriages, each going on dozen years. What’s been the best thing? What’s been super hard? How do they handle the difficult places like parenting and finances? This is a super insightful convo, full of grace and plenty of laughs. After all, as Laura says, “You laugh. You fight. You choose each other over and over. That’s marriage, right?”   **Also, please know you don’t have to be married or partnered to live a full, wholehearted life. Relationships of all kinds bring meaning to our lives.    Thanks to our episode sponsor!
