The Joy And Beauty Of A Light And Candid Conversation With Your Spouse

Show notes

About This Episode Sometimes all we need is a light and candid conversation with our spouse. In this episode, Aaron and Jennifer take turns answering questions and give their unscripted, candid answers about childhood memories, favorite foods, irrational fears, parenting, careers, and moments they would relive. They even discuss whether to have a sixth child. The format models how easy, lighthearted conversations can build closeness and quality time in marriage, no matter how long you have been together. They reflect that what makes them unique as a couple is their flexibility and willingness to throw ideas at the wall and enjoy the journey more than the end result, and they close by talking about purpose: following Christ as the one purpose that permeates marriage, parenting, and work.
