In this episode of The Afterthought Show, Zane Garza and Chris Chadwick dive into why communication matters so much in marriage. They talk about how the words we choose can make or break a relationship, the pitfalls of hurtful exchanges, and the value of keeping the lines of conversation open and honest. Along the way, they chat about church momentum, share some thoughts on member testimonies, and toss out practical tips for staying positive in how we talk to each other. Oh, and they give a quick shoutout to the upcoming Marriage Weekender event and . . . fountain pens.
