Imagine trying to operate complex machinery without an instruction manual… sounds crazy, but that’s exactly what most of us are doing in our relationships! After all, it’s not like we’re taught ‘Relationship 101’ in school. Instead, we’re left to figure it out for ourselves and if you’re anything like me, you fumble, because I (and maybe you too?) never really understood the basic principle that our relationships are our teachers. Relationships serve a divine purpose, and are the most amazing opportunity for growth.  For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/39 Today’s podcasts guests, Chris and Lori Harder, are great examples of what growth in a relationship can look like.  After over a decade together, Chris and Lori live and work under the one roof (which to me, is a mighty feat in itself). And not only do they do it well, they do it with crazy amounts of love, respect and compassion.
