Hello, I’m Susan.

I’m a wife (of 50 years), mom to five children (including a set of twins), and grandmother to 21 (including a set of quadruplets!). My favorite time of the year is when all my kids and grandkids are together for a week of “cousins and family camp” in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains of Virginia.

Do you have conflict in your marriage? I hope the answer is yes, because that's realistic. Every marriage has conflict. Did you know one source for conflict in your relationship may be your unrealistic expectations? Many of us -- all of us! -- go into marriage without really understanding what it will be like. Our expectations are high and most likely will not be met. This can continue to cause conflict even years later. In this video, I go through three unrealistic expectations you may have, and four ways to help safeguard your marriage. Conflict is healthy! Our goal is not to have a conflict-free relationship, but to handle conflict well. To be honest, we filmed this video back in the winter and planned to run it sooner. But I think it's especially timely now that we've all been stuck at home for a couple months and may be wearing on each other's nerves. If you find there's more conflict than usual in your marriage right now, be sure to watch this video. Link in bio!
