How do you keep the spark alive in a marriage that's spanned over two decades? Join Nikki Smith as she shares her 25 Lessons for Marriage Success, drawing from 25 years of marriage and 32 years of partnership. In this episode, we unpack the critical lesson of not letting bad days accumulate and how to prevent minor frustrations from snowballing into bigger issues. Through personal stories, Nikki illustrates the concept of the "slow fade" and emphasizes the importance of starting each day with a fresh perspective. 

Discover why the notion that your spouse should inherently know your needs is a myth that could be harming your relationship. Nikki dives deep into the necessity of clear, ongoing communication, explaining how changing life circumstances require constant dialogue. You'll also hear about the minor yet common annoyances, like half-finished projects and scattered contact lenses, and how understanding and managing these habits can lead to a more harmonious home life. Tune in for practical advice and heartfelt anecdotes aimed at helping you embrace both the joy and chaos of marital life, strengthening your relationship one lesson at a time.
