Just like sports teams don't usually win with only defensive strategies, life is very much the same. But living life and experiencing marriage can start to feel exhausting if we are mainly using defensive tactics.  When we are on the defense, we are constantly trying to make up or regain lost ground.  We may even feel more frustration piling on, like we aren't moving forward, even though we are investing quite a bit of time and effort into the relationship.  The way we can start to correct this is by making a switch in how we use our time and by using the creative and energetic strategies that come from the position of the offense.  Listen in to see if you can identify which strategies you are currently using and how to make a change.  Perhaps these are the very skills needed to get a slam dunk in your marriage!
