But do you care about your man doe?
One of the biggest hurdles in our marriage was battling emotional intimacy. Our relationship started off with everything being about Amira’s happiness and less about Kester’s feelings.

Listen in as we discuss how to battle the potential hurdle of downgrading a man’s feelings for the sake of your partner always being right and because, well, they are a man.
