3 UNFILTERED Lessons from 3 Years of Marriage | Triggers, Teamwork, Passive Asian Men | Ep. 36

Let's Unpack That with Alex & Grace | Christian Life Coaching, Spiritual Growth, Holistic Wellness, Faith-Based Wisdom

This week, on top of Alex's birthday, we're also celebrating our wedding anniversary!
Marriage has been one of the BEST gifts ever—but it's also not all sunshine and rainbows. In honor of this milestone, we thought we'd share 3 key lessons that have been HUGE for our relationship (but aren't often talked about) that we've learned so far in the past 3 years.
We are FAR from perfect, but we hope these personal examples of real-life challenges and what God's been teaching us through them can speak to you and help you wherever you're at—whether you're married, engaged, dating, or single and wanting to learn more about and prepare for marriage (HIGHLY recommend!).
