God's Design for Marriage

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I have a very special episode for you. Whether you’re single and desiring marriage, recently engaged or have been married for 15 years, today’s episode is for you.

I’m joined by Dana Nygaard a Catholic Licensed Professional Counselor, speaker, and author of the book, “365 Dates to Renew Your Christian Marriage: Increasing Your Emotional Intimacy One Question at a Time.”

I stumbled upon Dana’s book last Fall, and my husband and I began using it on our date nights and it has greatly enriched our conversations. I knew I had to connect with Dana to learn more about her, and I’m so glad I did.

Dana is absolutely delightful with a wonderful sense of humor, and it was an absolute joy speaking with her!

In this episode, we discuss:

• What is marriage? (Spoiler: It’s not just two people who love each other and want to be together forever.)

• How to communicate during conflict (because there will be conflict).

• Strategies to make your marriage stronger.

• How to stay in love with your spouse.

• What to do if your spouse isn’t interested in working on the marriage.

Watch this episode on YouTube or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Be sure to share with a friend, or two or three.

With love,

Valentina

ps. Dana’s book is the ideal companion for your date nights as it contains three unique questions to ask your spouse during your date. These questions range from silly to deep and help spark insightful conversations. I highly recommend it!
