Summary
As we enter the fall season, it's a great time to look at the routines in your life. This month we're talking all about life-giving routines and rhythms. Sometimes in marriage, we can get into bad habits of conflict or miscommunication, BUT we can also use our habits and routines to build up our spouse and grow our marriage. Today we're sharing some of our personal routines and family rhythms that help keep our marriages strong.
We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.

Dr. Kim's personal routine and why it's so important to him

The small things that don't even feel like "things" – and why they matter so much

| 0:31.3 | talking about life-giving routines and rhythms. Sometimes in marriage, we can get into bad habits, whether it's conflict, |
