Our first year of marriage was HARD. And we hit another rough patch (a.k.a. the \\u201ccome to Jesus\\u201d days) after our second son was born. I took all the marriage advice I could get.

\\n

For all you mommas out there looking for a little marriage help, I\\u2019ve invited Jen Weaver on the show to talk about her newest book, \\u201cA Wife\\u2019s Secret to Happiness\\u201d. This episode originally aired on March 6, 2017.\\xa0
