#349 How To Keep Your Relationship Thriving (and your partner alive)
Planning a wedding is like playing a game of Jenga with your relationship. One wrong move, and the whole thing can come crashing down. But fear not, my dear friends!

Trust me, you don't want those pesky issues popping up later in marriage like an unwanted pimple on your wedding day. Listen in as Michelle interview’s Elizabeth Earnshaw, LMFT and co-founder of OURS premarital counseling.
