Episode 7 “Laying Down the Sword”

This episode is sponsored by @BetterHelp Use our promo code https://BetterHelp.com/couplesunfiltered for 10% off In this heartwarming episode, we dive into the inspiring love story of Julie and Matthew, two individuals who found each other during pivotal growth stages in their lives. Both divorcees raising teenagers and passionate Lord of the Rings, Julie and Matthew had lived just steps away from each other for years. Despite literally crossing paths multiple times, it wasn't until they ventured into online dating that their paths truly converged. Matthew, a recovering alcoholic celebrating seven years of sobriety, and Julie, healing from a psychologically abusive relationship, were both ready for a fresh start. Julie shares her journey of learning to "put down the sword," recognizing how her strengths had inadvertently hindered her search for love. Meanwhile, Matthew discusses the importance of self-forgiveness and the vital support he received from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in his healing process. Their serendipitous meeting in God's timing brought them together as the best versions of themselves. As they look to the future, Julie and Matthew envision a life filled with love, continued healing, the joys of an empty nest, and a shared dream of becoming chocolatiers. Join us as we explore their beautiful journey of resilience, self-discovery, and the transformative power of love.
