After Cana is part of the Fairest Love Podcast family. Here we explore the vocation of marriage! In each episode, we bring you stories, advice, and insights from experts and seasoned couples to help guide you in your journey—whether you’re dating, engaged, or newly married.
Today we are rebroadcasting a conversation with Esther and Tom Keely from season 2. Tune in as they share stories from nearly 45 years of marriage. They offer advice on walking through the loss of a child, raising a faith-filled family, and working around busy schedules to make special moments with one another. When asked about the surprises of marriage, Tom shares, "You don't realize how hard it is at times but how good it is all the time. Even getting through the hard times is good." This is one you don't want to miss!
