On Air with Ella podcast - episode 210
CONNECTION, COMMUNICATION & INTIMACY
My husband Jeremy is back to chat love and marriage - and making it all work. If you didn't catch his first visit, I highly recommend listening to episode 186 "Secrets of My Marriage"!
We discuss the five love languages (mine are physical touch and acts of service, by the way); what communication actually looks like - especially when it's hard; and some of the ways we've learned to love each other better in our twelve years of marriage [update: now 15 years!].
I'd love to know what resonates with you from this episode!
