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.
