#136 | What’s Missing in the Marriage Discourse?
About This Episode
In this episode I explored the duality of patrimony and matrimony. While we barely discuss matrimony in our culture, we definitely don't think about patrimony. Our dismissal of patrimony's importance in sustaining a healthy society is one of the reason's we are unraveling.
Listen in as I draw on myth, tribal wisdom, and an exploration of the meanings of patrimony and matrimony and how they work together.
