By Words: Honest Faith Talks to Encourage Everyday Christian Women26. Navigating Purpose in Marriage (ft. Candice Mummert)"How do I continue to pursue my own dreams and purpose when I'm married?"

These are questions I've heard from women in the last few years, and today I've invited my friend Candice Mummert to share her insights with us. We'll learn about the heart of marriage, how to navigate our own purpose in marriage, and how to support our partners in theirs!
