What separates marriages that thrive from ones that slowly go flat?

We welcome couples who would say, ‘We are doing okay,’ and couples who would say, ‘We are hanging by a thread.’

You care deeply for the couples in your church. You see their tired faces on Sunday.

Selfishness can be polite. It can be logical. It can even be dressed up in Christian language.

Many couples in our churches quietly feel more like roommates than partners. They show up, serve, smile in the lobby, and know exactly how to say, “We’re good, thanks.”

You can usually sense when the marriages in your church feel off, long before anyone says it out loud. The couples who used to laugh together now barely make eye contact.
