Awesome Marriage Podcast

"Team language" is a great counselor term that I've heard Dr. Kim use a lot, and I wanted to learn more about what that looks like – and doesn't look like – in marriage. Join us today as we unpack practical ways to shift to a team mindset and use team language. We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage. P.S. Did the "good guy" idea Dr. Kim mentions later in the episode step on your toes like it did mine?! Let me know if that's something you want to hear more about!
