Ep 26: When Marriage Sucks

Video
Men’s Alliance

The old phrase "Marriage takes hard work" is a gross understatement. The truth is there will be times when you want to kill each other! But when you find yourself in one of these low points in marriage and you're thinking about walking away, know this - we've all been there, and it will get better.  Hey, we wouldn't have to take a vow before God that "until death do us part" if this marriage thing were supposed to be easy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
