It’s a very common story. You have an idea of how life will be with your spouse. You probably imagined a picture-perfect marriage with no conflict where you would just click together. But then once you start living with them day in and day out, it is all too easy to get hung up on their flaws and notice all the ways you're different from one another.
This happened to Rob and me when we were first married and living in Chicago. I perceived Rob's sensible, cautious driving as a sign he needed more assertive confidence. My negative thoughts had given me a false sense of reality and were straining our relationship.
At some point, God smacked me upside the head to show me that I was letting negative thinking steal my joy and come between us. It was a lesson I needed to learn as a young wife for sure!
Rob and I aren’t alone. There are so many couples, marriages, and relationships that are impacted when we get stuck in negative thinking. That is why we are so excited to introduce you to our guest, Kendra Burrows. Kendra is a writer, speaker, and personal coach who helps bright, successful overthinkers overcome their negative thoughts using Scripture and the science of how God made us. With her Bible in one hand and her advanced psych degree in the other, Kendra is going to show us how to shift our mindset for stronger relationships with the ones that we love.

We hope you enjoy this conversation!
