Elizabeth Oates, co-founder of Project Restoration Ministries, shares how growing up in a single-parent home, and then in a home with a stepfather, shaped her views on dating and marriage. Desperate for a peaceful, calm home, Oates set out to be the perfect wife, only to find herself miserable and her husband frustrated. Oates explains why boundaries are important in dysfunctional families and how important it is to learn to deal with conflict.
