In this episode, Rich and Jill discuss: 

  • The concept of “the weight is not wasted”
  • The importance of personal growth in marriage
  • The power of redemption and forgiveness
  • Holding space for our emotions


Key Takeaways: 

  • A crappy season in your life can be turned into fertilizer for growth. Once you keep talking about things, you will begin to peel back the layers in your own life and recognize growth opportunities.
  • A better you make you and your partner better partners. So much of marriage growth is personal growth because even if you're the only one who's interested and moving forward, it can change the dynamics of the relationship.
  • A broken trust, such as infidelity, affects not only the marriage, but the children, and so many other relationships as well. But pain can be turned into purpose. Rebuilding broken relationships requires sincerely asking for forgiveness and making efforts.
  • To feel our partners' dark seasons with them rather than trying to fix them is the most beautiful gift we can give each other. As you engage and sit, you hold emotional space for the other person and they feel heard, seen, and valued.


“One of the biggest things is you really have to be intentional to not let connection erode in a marriage, in a relationship with your kids, in a relationship with extended family and that's going to have different levels of intention.” — Jill Savage
