Who are you? When many of us answer that question, we talk about what we do instead of who we are. In this first video, Hope Restored marriage therapist Wayne Reed explains that while society puts great value on your job, what you do for a living does not describe your character. Watch him describe how a simple exercise – the “Be List” – can help you better understand yourself, your spouse and who God created both of you to be.
