He Wants Time To Process, She Wants To Talk About It Now: Gretchen + Mike "He Said/ She Said On Communication"

He Wants Time To Process, She Wants To Talk About It Now: Gretchen + Mike "He Said/ She Said On Communication"

Welcome to this new game show type episode called "HE Said/SHE Said"! In this type of episode, on the Empowered Couples podcast, you will laugh, be entertained, and relate to this couple as they find out how they see things differently in their marriage even when they love each other, live together, and have been together for years.

No matter how well you think you know your partner, you can see things differently AND often don't even realize! (remember the newlywed game, yup it's going to be like that!)

In This Episode:

You will meet Gretchen and Mike from Minnesota, who have been married for 13 years. They have decided to explore the area of communication within their relationship, as it's an area that they experience having bigger differences. They are willing to individually be asked the same questions around communication to then be surprised by how each answered these questions whether it be the same or surprisingly different. Welcome to the show "He Said/She Said"!

**Disclaimer: we by no means intend to exclude any type of relationship with the title, He Said/She Said. We just thought it was a fun, catchy name. Please include yourself no matter what type of a relationship you choose. Much love, The Freemans**
