Unexpected challenges, or "cows," can appear in any marriage–from financial struggles and rebellious children to illness and infertility. These "cows" can cause damage if left unaddressed.

We'll discuss how resilience is crucial to navigating adversity and why it's vital to avoid isolation by seeking support from your community. Discover practical habits like prioritizing quality time ("play"), intentionally praising each other, pursuing connection after conflict, and regularly praying together.
