On this week's episode, Russ and Mika have decided to revisit one of our very first episodes on this podcast.  We've been publishing Good to Be Home for almost a year now, and we have gained several new listeners along the way. This topic is such an important piece of Russ and Mika's lives, that they wanted to share it again it for those who haven't heard it yet because it informs so much of what we talk about on this show. Several months ago, Mika chose to open up on her personal blog about something that most people don't feel comfortable talking about publicly. In 2012, she discovered that Russ was having an affair, and it nearly destroyed their marriage. Soon afterward, she wrote a blog post called "We Saved Our Marriage", about how the two of them addressed this challenge, how they grew from it, and how they came out stronger on the other side. This episode is the story of how Russ and Mika saved their marriage, what it felt like to share that story online, how people reacted to the story, and what the two of them have learned from that experience. We hope you enjoy.
