Episode #23 - On this episode of The Healing Place Marriage & Family Podcast, we will talk about Divorce & Remarriage. It's difficult to find a family that is not directly or indirectly affected by divorce. But, is there hope after divorce? What encouragement or support can we offer those separated or divorced? Today, we speak with Michael and Dottie Jean Root. After 20 years of marriage, both experienced divorce. Both had to work through recovery from that divorce.
