In this video, you'll learn how to build a healthy marriage by separating from your parent's influence and establishing a strong bond with your spouse.
Becoming one with your spouse can a beautiful thing in marriage, but it can be difficult if you don't make some important but tough choices.
One of those choices is the choice to step away from the physical and emotional bond with your parents and immediate family in order to build a new family foundation with your spouse. It's not easy, neither for the married couple, nor for the parents who now have to play an entirely different role in their children's lives.
In this refreshingly honest episode, Steve and Mary Alessi share their experiences and wisdom in 30+ years of marriage, and explain how they navigated leaving the protection and covering of their parents in order to build a new legacy. They open up about their new season of being the parents of married children and learning how to give them space to establish their own homes, and provide a template for young and experienced couples to truly embrace their marriages as their primary focus.
