Welcome to episode 5 of season 3 of the Generous Marriage Podcast. In this episode we talk to David and Julie Bulitt. 

David is one of the premier DC Metro family law attorneys, representing clients in high profile divorce cases since 1986. Julie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience working with families. She is also an in-house therapist at Discovery Channel.

Professionally, David and Julie have seen life’s most difficult challenges, including addiction, infidelity, mental and physical health diagnoses and trauma. At the same time, they have weathered their own challenges at home, married for 34 years, raising four daughters, two biological and two adopted, and dealing with one child’s addiction and mental health challenges. They have a unique insight on what it takes to maintain a marriage.

 

Here are the highlights of the episode:

• David and Julie wrote a book about the 5 core conversations for couples
