Summary
Ever find that even when you're home, it's hard to be “all there” in your marriage? Jonathan Pokluda, author of Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do: Replace Deadly Vices with Life-Giving Virtues has ideas on chucking the habits stealing your full attention from your relationship.
I think so often, we get stuck in this defense mode of trying not to sin, trying not to give into that; or even worse, hiding it rather than pursuing the virtuous life that God has for us and that He’s calling us to in marriage. Then, my boy Brian is here. I’m glad you’re here, because the other day, I teased the Art of Marriage®. -- Jonathan Pokluda
