We Thought We'd Lost Our Marriage
About this podcast
Welcome to the Connect2 marriage podcast by Focus on the Family Singapore!
Married life can be filled with twists and turns, especially with the day-to-day priorities, and stresses in life, including the times we run into conflict with our spouse.
No matter the state of your relationship today, we want to help your marriage thrive.
Join us as we figure out life and love together, and go deep into the conversations and questions (often unspoken) about the toughest topics on connection, intimacy and lifelong love.
While there are no perfect marriages, there is always room to grow to be the best spouse we can be. With practical tips, a whole lot of vulnerability and even a dose of humour, we hope that these episodes will provide hope and encouragement for your marriage.
