This is what playing football in 5 countries taught us about relationships | John & Sia Bostock | Couple Goals S1E1

John Bostock was a phenomenon at 16 - to this day he's still Crystal Palace and Spurs' youngest ever player. But his career led him on a different path than he might have expected, taking him across the world to play in Canada, Belgium, Turkey and France, as well as throughout the English football pyramid. But in the midst of all this upheaval, his marriage to his wife Sia remained the one constant. Now, for the first time ever, they sit down for a conversation together to discuss their relationship story, the challenges of marrying young (at just 18 and 20) and what John's teammates thought. How John's career has shaped their lives, their vision for what a strong and loving relationship looks like, their struggles in married life and how they are constantly working together towards the best marriage. We also hear about the inspiring moment that led John to found Ballers in God, an international community of Christian professional footballers, which is by the players for the players. Now, a new season begins as Sia also leads Ballers in God WAGs to support the families and partners of footballers. They are working together to help the growing football family that they have built, to ensure that everyone in their situation can feel supported. --How do we make relationships work in the face of everything life throws at us, in a culture where it feels like everything is against commitment and long-term love? Every episode, two couples share honest relationship stories about their best and worst moments together - revealing how they survived relationship challenges, what they learned, and how their couples advice could benefit us all.Featuring deep conversations about real relationships that don't hide the hard stuff, this couples podcast is for anyone seeking relationship advice, wants to hear authentic love stories, or simply loves love.From Care for the Family, a UK charity dedicated to strengthening family life. cff.org.uk  Hosted on Acast.
