Summary
Greg and Erin Smalley describe how married couples can quickly get into a rut because of unmet expectations, poor conflict management, and personal baggage that interferes with their marriage relationship. They emphasize the value of honoring your spouse, learning how to nourish your marriage, and focusing on your relationship with God instead of expecting too much from your imperfect spouse. (Part 1 of 2)
