Welcome to episode 54 of the Mastering Marriage Podcast. Whenever we get the privilege of working with a couple or a stander either with our counseling services or through our Overflow program, we study them individually and as a couple to learn why their marriage is in the condition that it is in. Of the fascinating things that we have learned, we have found that there is one thing that is probably the most divisive and destructive to the foundation of any marriage. This episode reveals what it is and helps you to see if it is ruining your marriage.

In today’s session, I will be shifting my approach slightly to asking you 10 very important questions that every spouse needs to answer.

As a matter of fact, the heath of your marriage can be measured based on how many of these questions you have answers for.  You may have to pause this episode periodically so that you can write down each of these questions. Then I want you to answer them. I would even recommend that both you and your spouse answer these questions individually and then schedule a time to actually discuss with each other your responses to these questions. Please enjoy this episode and I will see you on the couch at the Marriage Counselor's Corner!

This is episode number 13 and in today’s session, I am going to be discussing the number 1 marriage killer. This subject is so important that if it is not taken into consideration, it will destroy your marriage. As a matter of fact, most couples come to me dealing with this and they don’t even know it.
