Kris and Adrian Maiava join Dr. Dave Schramm and Dr. Liz Hale to talk about their
experience in meeting with Dr. Liz Hale. They talk about their experience in coming together
through therapy and overcoming addiction.

About Kris and Adrian Maiava:
Kris and Adrian met in Utah although they grew up in Hawaii and Australia. They share an
incredible story of working through struggles and addictions, separations and learning to love
and trust again. After three years in an intensive treatment program, Kris learned things about
himself and his marriage that changed his life. And Adrian learned patience and experienced
tremendous growth as she hung on to hope and learned to forgive. Together they have grown
stronger than ever and enjoy parenting their 5 year old daughter Lola.

Insights:

  • “I guess some questions to ask yourselves as to you know, do you still want to be partners with them, with your significant other? Do you still want to do this with them? If so, if yes. And if they want to as well, then I think it's worth it.” - Kris Maiava
  • “Better choices lead to better chances.” -Dave Schramm
  • “But there was a point in your life where you decided, this is the person that I want to do life
    with. So that should be the person that you offer the most grace to.” -Adrian Maiava

Invites:

  • If you are struggling with addiction, seek outside help.

  • Have a 10 minute discussion with your partner about something that is challenging your
    relationship and find a way to overcome it together
