MARRIAGE

Control in relationships is driven by expectations

Two types of expectations:

- expectations you bring into a relationship

- hopes that become expectations

PRESSURE

Pressure over time turns marriage cracks into canyons.

Expanding cracks in your marriage push you towards control or escape.

Ephesians 5:21-25

How do your relationship cracks become canyons?

1 Peter 5:5-7
