Not available to play.

Description

Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.

When there’s stress in a marriage, it impacts all areas of life. While some couples find a way through on their own, many feel stuck. So, what differentiates someone who stays simply to stave off defeat, and someone who desires to overcome the strife they feel and ultimately thrive in their marriage?

Today’s episode, “3 Qualities Necessary for Overcoming Marital Distress,” was written by Tom Peters. Tom has been nurturing his passion for helping others for over 35 years. He holds a Masters in Counselling Psychology. In addition to developing a private practice, Tom also is a practicing counselling supervisor and a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. He and his wife of 30 years are parents to two married daughters, one son, and they recently became grandparents. Just a note that this episode is written by Tom, but voiced by a guest.

A very important disclaimer: This episode is not intended for spouses in an abusive marriage. Spouses in this situation need detailed, expert advice that deals specifically with abuse.
