Laurie Krieg on What Her Mixed-Orientation Marriage Has Taught Her about Love and the Gospel

What is the purpose of marriage? Is it possible to marry the wrong person? What do you do if you find yourself in a marriage that feels impossible, like a mixed-orientation marriage?

I’m honored to have as my guest this week, Laurie Krieg. Along with being a wife and mother, she’s an author and serves on the board of the Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender.

In this episode, we discuss the book she wrote with her husband, Matt, about being in a mixed-orientation marriage–what some call an “impossible marriage.”
