This week Bethany and Andy Needham delve into the complexities of handling conflict in marriage. With humor and openness, we share personal experiences, practical strategies, and the importance of self-reflection. We discuss everything from common pitfalls like 'catastrophizing' and 'the always and never trap' to showing appreciation and understanding for one another. Stay tuned as we announce an exciting live event and reflect on how the fruit of the spirit has shaped our relationship over 22 years.
