Summary

What happens when the honeymoon phase wears off? What do we do when the person we married becomes just someone we live with? In marriage, we can often find ourselves choosing convenience over covenant— meaning we get so caught up in our everyday life that we neglect the very person we vowed to give our everything. In this episode we share 7 ways to help spouses get OUT of the roommate stage ASAP! After having another baby, moving, and trying to keep up with it all, we found ourselves in the “roommate phase”. These 7 practical steps are what we implemented to help us get to a healthy, thriving, God-honoring marriage once again. We pray this episode is a blessing and encouragement to those who need it!
