Episode 82: I Need Some Space! Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

Almost every relationship has a moment where either person asks for "space". Joe and I have been there and our marriage suffered the most when there was a lack of emotional space. That was hard to learn because it involved laying down self to serve another, and being truly willing to surrender my husband to God rather than insisting I hold the reins all the time. In this episode, we talk about the need for space and what healthy space-giving looks like.
