Mount Everest and Marriage: Braving New Heights Together

Harold Earls had a bucket list—and the two top things on the list were “get married” and “climb Mount Everest.” One year, those two dreams collided, when he got engaged and married to Rachel and started preparing to climb Mount Everest. As he prepared for and began the climb, it was a greater physical and mental challenge than he ever anticipated. But when he returned, he realized the greater height to overcome wasn’t the mountain, but their marriage challenges. In this Focus on the Family broadcast, Rachel and Harold recount their experience, and remind you that each height you brave with your spouse can be used to bring you closer than ever.
