Damon & Melanie Owens | How to Have a Strong Catholic Marriage | The Catholic Homeschool Podcast

Listen to the Audio

This week, Paola is joined by Damon and Melanie Owens to discuss how to have a strong Catholic marriage, as well as their upcoming program: The EPIC Intimacy Challenge!

 

A FREE 4-day challenge crafted to help reignite the fire in your marriage.

Take just 10 minutes a day for four days and discover…

  • What the four levels of marital intimacy are and how to keep them from breaking down.
  • How to prevent intimacy and communication problems from occurring in the first place.
  • Proven techniques to strengthen physical and emotional connection.
  • Why even good marriages end, and how to “divorce proof” your marriage.
