Can the words you speak really transform your marriage? After 25 years with my husband, Jed, I can confidently say yes. This week we will dive into 5 more lessons we have learned over our years being married, starting with the power of speaking life over your spouse.

As we navigate the challenges of modern life, electronic distractions often get in the way of meaningful connections.
