New Podcast Episode: On Marriage
I had fun chatting with Katherine about marriage on our most recent podcast episode!
We start with our current Highs and Lows (i.e., the joys of mini-vacations and day trips, seeing our kids shine through extracurricular activities, and children’s struggles at school).
