Summary
In the Season 4 premiere of the Grounded Union Podcast , we dive deep into one of the hardest questions couples in crisis face. Brandon and Caitlyn Doerksen break down their Predictors of Change framework: four concrete, action-based signs that tell you whether your spouse is genuinely committed to healing or just going through the motions.
