    How Waffles and Spaghetti Can Build a Stronger Marriage (Part 1 of 2)

    Date: May 18, 2023

    Guests: Bill and Pam Farrel

    Bill and Pam Farrel discuss differing approaches men and women take on marriage. They offer practical marital advice on how spouses can understand one another’s differences and even delight in them. The Farrels discuss communication challenges couples face — how women tend to address multiple topics and emotions all at once while men want to address one subject at a time. They describe how men and women can learn to relate to each other’s different styles and needs. (Part 1 of 2)
