Struggling to break free from the same old conflicts in your relationship? 

When Ron and Nan Deal suffered the devastating loss of their child, their marriage could have collapsed. For decades, Ron and Nan were stuck in destructive cycles, experiencing ruptures without repair. They sought help from Dr. Terry and Sharon Hargrave whose transformational Restoration Therapy has helped millions.

Now for the first time, Ron and Nan share their journey from a marriage on the brink of collapse to complete transformation. It happened for them and it can happen for you. Their new book is "The Mindful Marriage: Create Your Best Relationship Through Understanding and Managing Yourself." 

On today's episode, they open up about how they kept repeating negative patterns—despite loving God and each other—until they learned to manage themselves rather than trying to fix each other. Let's listen in as Ron and Nan give practical tools to find peace through humility and Biblical truth.

02:42 The crisis point: when their marriage was coming apart 

06:21 Ruptures vs. repair in relationships 

09:12 Am I "dysregulated"?

13:09 The shift from fixing your spouse to fixing yourself 

18:56 How seeking help and humility can change everything 

21:23 These four steps transformed our marriage  

30:14 Why saying the steps out loud is critical 

33:36 What to do when past trauma gets triggered 

37:12 Surviving amidst devastating loss: The story of losing their son Connor
