0:00.0	So much of what makes a marriage great is not the absence of difference and is not the absence of disappointment.
0:07.2	But really what it is that defines the marriage and whether or not we're a great partner is how we handle those differences.
0:15.6	How you handle disappointment determines the marriage. Welcome to Conversations with Dr. Jennifer, a collection of interviews on the topics of relationships, sexuality, and
0:36.2	more, all featuring Dr Finlason Fife.
0:39.3	Hey everyone, I want to invite you to join me in Hillsborough, Oregon, October 24th through
0:49.6	the 30th for a couples retreat. This is where real meaningful change happens for so many
0:57.2	couples. I love doing these retreats because people leave their other
1:02.4	obligations whether that's work, family life, and come to spend some focus time addressing their marriage.
1:11.0	I offer an entirely new way of thinking about what's
1:15.1	happening in your marriage, helping you see your contribution to a problematic

2:06.4	I'd love to meet you and again that's October 24th through the 30th in the hills of Oregon just outside of Portland and a podcast to help you feel more like yourself within your motherhood.

2:36.0	Someone who knows yourself, honors your needs, and loves your people.
2:40.0	Listen in to feel encouraged as we learn together how to overcome overwhelm and find more magic in motherhood.
2:47.0	I'm your host Rachel Nielsen. I'm so glad you're here. Have you ever wished for some concrete things you could do to improve your marriage?
