Summary

Finding unity is the first step in functionally living out your priorities. Every couple wants unity, but few manage to get there. Why is that? We'd say it's because they've never taken the time (or had the opportunity) to discuss and seek deep agreement on their priorities. In this episode, we'll discuss the benefits of unity and some of the challenges necessary to get there. We hope it helps you! Our new marriage learning project ~~Gospel Centered Marriage~~ is open for enrollment! It's a great way to build a solid marriage foundation and/or finally get on the same page. It's built for all couples—newlyweds, nearly weds, and those who have been married for years. Visit GospelCenteredMarriage.com to learn more. Thanks for listening! If you'd like to support this ministry, please visit Patreon.com/FierceMarriage. Our monthly patrons get plenty of perks, including early episode releases, free books & ebooks, silicone wedding rings, and exclusive ministry updates.

0:30.0	You agree with that?
0:32.0	I do. I think I might interchange the word expands to like deepens.
0:36.0	Okay. Because expanding feels like it stresses me out a little bit
0:40.0	at that word.
0:42.0	But going deeper seems like a more accurate term, but I yes,
0:46.0	I fully 100% agree with that thought.
0:48.0	It enriches your life. Is that a better?
0:50.0	It infuses your life with richness.
0:52.0	Deepens.
0:54.0	Depth, okay.
