My 1 year of my marriage
Am first on this postcast and just finished the chapter on the book omg! 🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️ love it! I going to help me focused more about my marriage!
Poorly done!
When I first started listening I was excited, but now, it seems it is just Greg and Erin talking to themselves, hoping someone is listening. Way too much about themselves. Over and over and over! Not nearly enough marriage encouragement or tips. All about them and their issues. Sounds like they may need counseling! Unfollowing.
So real and genuine
I love listening to Greg and Erin because they share their struggles and stories where they have not behaved the best. It makes them real. I absolutely love this podcast!
