In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, Maurice Harker addresses the idea of creating "self-inflicted pressure" to encourage personal growth and improvement in marriage. He introduces the concept of a proactive "State of the Union" approach, where partners hold themselves accountable and share their personal development openly with each other. Maurice challenges listeners to shift their mindset around accountability—focusing less on confessing weaknesses and more on celebrating progress. This episode empowers individuals to build stronger, more supportive relationships through transparency, self-imposed growth, and regular communication.
