When we carry parts of our past with us, it still affects us into today. If we aren’t talking about how the past is for each spouse pushing its way into the present, then we’re probably not getting to the depth of the truth of what’s really going on. Dr. Kelly Flanagan is a repeat guest on the podcast, and today he shares some transformative steps to dealing with what’s under the surface, and helping your spouse to do the same. Don’t miss this helpful episode!    Episode highlights include:  Do we really need to bring up old stuff from the past? Why does it matter now?  Is your heart open to your spouse, or closed?  What are steps to helping a spouse deal with their baggage?  What does it mean to “hold space” for your spouse? Plus why and how to do that   We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.    Subscribe to Podcast Email to make sure you never miss an episode.
