## Resource

Today Christa talks through 25 years of marriage to Wes - and instead of a typical teaching episode, we're reflecting on the story arc of marriages that thrive. Christa shares a lessonn about her own parents and their 25th, that didn't go the way she expected, what her dad unwittingly taught her about really seeing the person you love, and what 25 years has shown her about intimacy. She also shares a few practical tips through the lens of the three desires - SP, SO, SX - and the story behind The Three Desires book cover (releasing Feb 2, 2027), featuring the breathtaking Antelope Canyon. If you're newlywed, in the trenches, or approaching your own milestone anniversary with thoughtfulness and a desire to genuinely grow in character, this one is dedicated to you.
