In this podcast Episode, David & Caron Loveless discuss how our family of origin affects marriage and what systems they create, that you need to know.
Each of our family systems significantly impacts the way we learn to relate. They set up our relational patterns as well as our attitudinal and behavioral habits. This is what we bring into our marriage.
You didn’t vote on the kind of family system you got. We must know where we’ve come from so we can make peace with it and minimize its defensive impact if it was an unhealthy system.
