Episode 15 Cancelled!
Are you an adult? Do you act like an adult? Do you talk like an adult? Or do you act and function at a lower age emotionally than what you are? The idea of “cancelling” someone (or at least walking away from someone) that you feel has wronged you in some way has become more and more prevalent in...

“What makes a great marriage?” Why are we tackling this question? One reason is this, according to ourworldindata.org, the marriage rate has been declining in America since 1972. Fewer and fewer people see the value of marriage and how it can be great. We certainly don’t have this all figured…
