About this episode

Get ready, guys, and maybe get a box of Kleenex for this episode! We’re talking with one of the most profound men I have ever met, Dr. Bob Schuchts. After spending more than 30 years as a therapist, Dr. Bob founded the John Paul II Center for Healing, where his team leads a number of healing retreats for individuals and couples who want to encounter the healing love of Jesus Christ.

We go through the actual marriage vows said in the Catholic sacrament of matrimony and talk about what they mean, and Dr. Bob reflects on his own marriage with his wife Margie, who died six years ago.

Think this episode is only for married people? Think again! You may have heard me say before that sometimes you think in life without thinking about WHAT you’re thinking. Follow me? Dr. Bob also talks about how we identify the “false vows” we have been living out of (whether consciously or unconsciously) and how to renounce those vows and take every thought captive for Christ!

This is such a beautiful conversation and I am so excited for you guys to see it. Share it with your friends and family who are single, engaged, newly married, or who have been married 50+ years! It’s THAT good! ❤️‍
