    What are the most important things to look for when searching for marriage help? Is it experience? Good reviews? A high success rate? The answer is yes… to ALL of those things.

    But success rate is a more nuanced metric. HOW the success rate is calculated matters just as much as the actual success rate, and that’s what we talk about on today’s episode.

    In this episode, Kimberly is joined by Dr. John Hill, Director of Research at Marriage Helper. Dr. Hill and Kimberly break down Marriage Helper’s success rate over the years, the process behind the research, and the CURRENT success rate and the research being actively conducted to determine it.

    What if the secrets we hold closest are the ones that weigh us down the most? Join us for a powerful conversation with Ren Bester from South Africa as we unravel the intricate emotions of guilt, shame, and regret within the context of marriage and personal actions. Ren's journey of overcoming these burdens, especially given his religious upbringing and the pressure of performance-based acceptance, offers profound insights.

Ren's candid recounting of his struggles underscores the transformative power of confession, forgiveness, and faith, showcasing how embracing spiritual practices can renew the mind and offer emotional release.

    Ren's story doesn't stop at recognition—it's about redemption. By embracing the grace of salvation, Ren found a way to cleanse his past and alleviate the weight of guilt, despite skepticism from those affected by his past actions. He shares the challenges of removing negative influences and how redefining one's identity through humility can pave the path to healing and reconciliation. Even when forgiveness from others isn't promised, the journey to emotional and spiritual freedom remains impactful.
