What message is your marriage sending?

Would your marriage inspire someone to say "I want that," or push them away from the idea altogether?

Marriage is about unity—but that doesn’t mean losing your individuality. In this episode of Committed Hearts, Donna and William Porter talk about why healthy relationships need both together time and personal time. Just because you love being together doesn’t mean you have to do everything together. Your spouse can have their own interests, their own quiet time, their own way of refreshing—and that can actually make your relationship stronger. In this conversation, we talk about: • why individuality still matters after “I do” • how giving each other space builds trust • protecting your spouse’s personal time • why “your thing” doesn’t have to become “our thing” • how healthy space can make you a better spouse Strong marriages make room for unity and individuality. Watch, listen, and be encouraged—and as always…
