Having Unity In The Home - with Edwin & Colleen Thomason - Season 6 Episode 13
We talked about upbringing, meeting, and dating, her first pregnancy resulting in a miscarriage, then kids being born a year apart. Their commitment to each other, their relationship, and their kids are amazing to hear. They waited to have sex until marriage - and it was Colleen's first time. That allowed them to form other strong connections with each other outside of physical intimacy. Christianity is the foundation of their relationship.
