  • 007: Top 5 Things That Have Strengthened My Mixed-Faith Marriage
    Mar 14 2023

    A brief episode regarding what have been the 5 most helpful things for us in our mixed-faith marriage during the last nearly 7 years since I lost my belief in Mormonism.

    From what I have seen, I think a faith crisis tends to reveal/expose the underlying marriage that was already there prior to a faith crisis, and sometimes, it ends up being most helpful to end the marriage.  

    What my wife and I have done doesn’t always lead to sustaining in a post-faith crisis marriage.  

    Nonetheless, I thought I'd share what has been helpful for us.
