Summary
Is your marriage full of joy, or does it lack some of the qualities you hoped for? It takes more than just love to make a marriage thrive, and today John David Mann and Ana Gabriel Mann, co-authors of The Go Giver Marriage, share why that is. In The Go Giver Marriage, the Manns share five secrets to lasting love that will help you build a marriage in which both spouses truly thrive.
Episode highlights include:
- An effective strategy to break cycles of bickering or criticism
- Why just one spouse's efforts are enough to affect a marriage
- Some unexpected benefits of being a "go giver" in marriage
We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
