In this episode you’ll hear part one of our conversation with the Cathcarts. With over 44 years knowing each other and 33 years of marriage, Ron and Debi know a thing or two about relationships! You’ll hear the story of Debi’s resistance, Ron’s persistence, and how they finally came together after 11 years of pursuit. We have plenty of laughs and smiles - if only you could see how they interacted together in the studio!
But theirs is a story not just of romance, but one of maturity, compromise, and the power of setting clear, healthy boundaries. No matter what kind of relationships you carry this episode will bring you laughter, conviction, and hope!
