Thank you both. I found your podcast a month ago at a very dark time in our relationship. I was so lost, confused and hurting. This has given me tools, helpful insights and hope for a better future with my wife of 23 years. We are still working to rebuild, together. A light in the darkness. Keep up the great work! You are helping us find a way.
