ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
First, I have to tell you guys that I’m currently visiting my family in Denver and in the midst of the shuffle of packing up two babies for their first flight, I totally forgot to grab my podcast microphone. So if the audio sounds a little off, it’s because I’m recording with my iPhone, but hey, we’re making it work! :)
Okay, with that said, let’s talk about today’s episode!
Several months ago, I had the honor of being interviewed by my sweet friend, Kait Warman, for her podcast, Heart of Dating, and that’s the episode I want to share with you today.
Now, I know I’m not telling you anything new when I say that we’re given a lot of mixed messages when it comes to our desire for marriage. People either act like marriage is the end-all-be-all goal for our lives, or we’re told to push away our desire for marriage to focus on “more important things” (I put those in air quotes). But in this conversation, I help us find a middle ground, so we can truly embrace our desire for marriage while also not putting an unhealthy pressure on it. A middle ground where we can prepare for marriage and look toward the future, while also savoring and making the most of the present.
