About Married With Benefits by FamilyLife

We got married because we thought we’d be better together rather than apart. So why is it so easy to feel isolated from your life-long partner?

Host, author, and fellow married pilgrim, Brian Goins, tackles the relational pitfalls, from the trivial to the tragic, that move couples towards isolation rather than experiencing the real benefits that come from saying “I do.”
