Relationship Realities: Seeking Change and Building Desire

 

In this episode of The Restored Wife Podcast, Brenda Kradolfer and Stephanie discuss the moments in a relationship when the desire for change becomes significant enough to prompt action. Stephanie shares her personal journey, recounting a turning point in her marriage when her husband asked if divorce would make her happy. This initiated her journey of seeking support, reading books, and engaging in self-exploration to improve their relationship. They also discuss expectations in relationships, particularly those related to communication and gifts during special occasions like Valentine's day. They delve into how they previously let these expectations affect their relationships negatively and how they came to see things from a healthier perspective over time.
