120. 3 Valuable Lessons That Saved Our Marriage and Blended Family
More ways to listen:
What lessons have you learned this year…
…or maybe through your whole blending experience?
You know that old saying "hindsight is 20/20". Most of us have experienced the painful reality of that statement more than once in our lifetime.
But something we've discovered is that we don't always have to wait around for hindsight. If we're wise, we'll listen to others share their life lessons. We'll watch what they do and try to avoid the same pitfalls.
In this episode, we're sharing 3 valuable insights that emerged out of our hindsight. They are hard-earned lessons that we hope you'll be able to learn a little sooner in your blending journey.
These insights have been critical to saving our marriage (which we almost lost a decade ago), and helped us experience more connection — as a couple and for our whole family.
You might avoid the pitfalls we've fallen into if you take these 3 insights to heart.
