mixed orientation marriage

How can we disagree without disparaging each other? What are best practices for meaningful conversations, both online and in person? How should we handle divisive media spreading lies and half-truths? 

Plus, we take your questions at the end of the episode!

On this podcast, we are faith-affirming first. This means before anything else, we affirm and support the doctrine of Jesus Christ as found in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Grab yours while you can.  Head to theboldlogicshop.comto get yours before they are gone.  (This may be the last year we offer these...  It will for sure be the last year Jessica is hand making them.

This was the time of the most turmoil and stress in Jessica and Steve's marriage. It was the breaking point. Steve had an affair with a man in hopes that it would shut down the gay side of himself, but the reality was quite the opposite.

As with everything in their relationship, they put everything out on the table and discussed how they could move on from this. The problem was, neither of them knew how it was possible and they walked around for weeks like emotional zombies.

This all came to a head and they knew something must be done when they were moving into their new home and Penny, their two-year-old daughter wandered out the front door and was lost for a short time.

Show that you are an ally while educating yourself and those in your home... And without flying a rainbow flag, unless you want to!  Pick on the Love BOLDly Coloring Book.  Available during Pride month only!  Stock up now. These also make a perfect gift for your queer friends and family!  Let's spread some love! https://theboldlogic.com/loveboldly
