We all know marriage isn’t easy. Bringing together two people with different life experiences, opinions, and family backgrounds takes a whole lot of intentionality, grace, and growth.

When neurological differences enter this complex equation, you need an additional set of tools in order to maintain a healthy marriage.

My guest, Shawna Meek, is here to help us understand what it can look like to navigate neurological differences within a marriage relationship. She has been through three separations with her husband, infidelity, and his late diagnosis as an adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder. She is a professional certified coach and an author. Shawna’s primary focus is supporting women who have gone through betrayal and trauma, and helping couples who have experienced infidelity in a neurodiverse marriage where Autism or Asperger’s profiles are present.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What it means to have a love addiction
• Some of the ways neurodivergence affects a marriage
• Strategies for helping a spouse who is neurodivergent
• And more!

I’m excited to share this conversation with you today as we discuss some helpful tools for navigating a neurodivergent marriage.
