We continue the conversation with Kait and JJ Tomlin, but we dive deeper into understanding ways to be more intimate with our spouse. Calling out our feelings, checking ourselves, and seeking God's truth as you walk through tough times. They delve into the surprises and challenges they faced and the importance of pre-engagement and premarital counseling. JJ shares his journey of overcoming resentment and selfishness, highlighting the impact of ownership and repentance on their marriage. The Tomlins speak candidly about their sex life, illustrating the importance of realistic expectations, too. We also address a listener's question about dealing with pain, mental health issues, and a perceived lack of support from her spouse.

Dr. Greg and Erin Smalley talk with the founder of Heart of Dating, Kait Tomlin, with her husband JJ about our mindsets when we're dating before marriage, versus the reality of what we each bring into our married life. They emphasize the importance of being open to changes and the significance of individual growth and self-examination to maintain a healthy marriage. Our hurts, our issues, our expectations, all of it! We'll also give you a Valentine's Day activity, and we answer a question from a wife who knows that her relationship is stuck in the reactive cycle. The conversation provides practical advice on managing relationship conflicts and stresses the value of a teachable spirit and open heart in fostering marital growth.
