“Before you give someone your heart, make sure you've asked the right questions.”

Allyson Portee Podcast Episode 129: Nelson Schuman

Nelson Schumann's work centers on healing, identity, and healthy relationships, so conversation on the essential questions for couples considering marriage goes much deeper than a typical "Christian dating advice" conversation. Rather than focusing on chemistry or compatibility alone, the conversation can help listeners understand discernment, character, emotional health, and spiritual maturity before marriage.

In this episode, Ally Portee and Nelson Schuman delve into the crucial questions that couples should ask themselves and each other before tying the knot.
