The Problem With Perfect

Things I Wish I Would Have Known Before Getting Married


Listen Later

No one can look into the future, but we can look to the past and reflect on what it has taught us - which is exactly what Rachel and Robin do in this episode. Armed with a handful of tough questions from our listeners, Rachel interviews Robin about the lessons she's learned during her 25 years of marriage.

Whether you're single and interested in marriage or you've been married for 50 years, you will find yourself in some part of this insightful, encouraging and transparent discussion about marriage.
