What would you say to yourself as someone who’s newly married if you could go back in time? Or what would you tell your younger self as you were preparing your heart for marriage? Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow, co-founders of Visionary Family Ministries and authors of multiple books including, “Visionary Marriage,” have been married for 30 years. Rob Philo asks them to share “what they wish they knew earlier in marriage,” how they’ve grown as a couple, and how they’re continuing to grow in their marriage, even after 30 years. You’ll be encouraged in this episode that no matter how long you’ve been married it’s impossible to have it “all figured out”—that's the beauty of marriage!
