Even People Struggling in their Marriage Can Have High Hopes for Summer

From Focus on the Family:


Vacations and summer relaxation can help us feel optimistic about life. If you’re in rocky spot in your marriage, I’m glad you’re feeling hopeful about repairing your relationship in the months ahead. Downtime is great, but if you think hanging out together on the beach in Florida will fix everything, be careful in managing your expectations. If the pandemic has forced you to confront old marriage problems and issues that you previously ignored, you’ll need more than a summer vacation to address them. To find that glimmer of hope and keep moving forward in your marriage, please check out the help offered in the links below.


Here to help you take the next steps for strengthening your love for each other, Dr. Greg Smalley Vice President of Marriage
