Debra Fileta is a much-loved repeat guest on the Awesome Marriage Podcast, and she has written a powerful new book, Are You Really OK?: Getting Real About Who You Are, How You’re Doing, and Why It Matters. We’re so happy to have her on today to get real about learning whether we are really doing ok, how to know if we are or not, and why it matters! 

We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
