Marriage on the Brink of Divorce Before Baby #3 | Our Untold Story | Part 1

This episode is the beginning of a deeply personal three-part story detailing the journey to our 3rd baby. Before baby number three, my marriage was on the brink of collapse. I was questioning whether to stay, whether it was safe to try again, and whether love had to be perfect to be sacred.
