In this episode, we break down the three most common predictors of infidelity-not to create fear, but to give couples wisdom, clarity and practical tools to protect their marriage before cracks start to form. Infidelity rarely begins with a dramatic moment; it almost always starts with the little foxes that go unnoticed. Join us as we break down these different areas and provide solutions to prevent infidelity in your marriage. 

Sometimes it's hard to know if you and your spouse can benefit more from marriage counseling vs. marriage coaching. It might be possible that you need both! And, what is the difference anyway? Join Michael & Shana as they chat about counseling / coaching and which one may better serve you and your spouse in the season you are in.
