Mindful Marriage Podcast

Tara helps us understand what codependency is, why it could be a marriage problem, how to begin to understand it, some signs of codependency, and what we can do about it. Codependency can for sure bring some imbalance to our relationships and if not addressed it can lead to feelings that may truly hinder our marriage.

Join us as we complete the discussion on the beauty of connecting with God and navigating if you and your spouse have different definitions of worship.

In this episode, we take a look at an often-overlooked component of marriage - God's presence. Without it, we believe it is going to be super tough to be in a healthy relationship. However, you and your spouse probably have different definitions of spirituality and that can make things frustrating. Join us as we explore a healthy understanding of the two of you connecting with God.

It is definitely a journey to truly grasp what it means to love and we hope this discussion is a great guide for your growth.

How you view marriage and how you were taught to view marriage can have a massive impact on your current relationship and you may not even be aware of the power of that mindset. Explore your mindset with us and find out some antidotes to find healing and new direction.
