Are you thinking of getting married but fear that you may not be successful because you didnt have a good example? Maybe you had no example at all, a negative one, or you saw marriage but it wasn't a healthy marriage. If you want to build a marriage and feel that your toolbox is empty or you have the wrong tools it is still possible to be successful in marriage and have a healthy long-lasting relationship. In this episode, Junior and I discuss non-examples of marriage, our positive and negative examples, the importance of role models, and tips that can help you pursue marriage despite the absence of role models.
