Send a text
Your childhood home shapes far more of your adult relationships than you realize. In this episode, Jim, Teresa, and Ellie break down the classic nature vs. nurture debate and explore how emotional expression, conflict styles, affection, and communication patterns are learned — or not learned — in our families of origin. You’ll learn how to recognize inherited relationship habits, how to stop repeating unhealthy cycles, and how faith and intentionality can help you rewrite what love looks like in your marriage. Whether you grew up in chaos or calm, this episode will help you build something healthier.
