Marriage Math: Why Adulthood is the Secret Ingredient to Lasting Love

Is your marriage truly a union of two adults? This week, we dive deep into the essential requirements of adulthood that make or break a thriving partnership. We explore why personal responsibility is the greatest gift you can give your spouse – and how blaming them for your unhappiness sabotages your connection. Discover why valuing your partner's unique "treasures" (and your own!) is non-negotiable for intimacy.

We tackle the crucial mindset shift: "You Are Not Me." Learn why seeing your spouse as an extension of yourself is a recipe for self-centered disaster, how empathy is the bedrock of true closeness, and why respecting differences – not just tolerating them – is where real love grows.

Finally, we confront the paradox of freedom: Why is it the prerequisite for deep love, yet so terrifying? Understand how control turns you into a slave master or parent (not a spouse!), why space strengthens connection, and how misused freedom fuels resentment – even affairs. We’ll explore the divine design of "Marriage Math" (1+1=1) and how balancing separateness with togetherness fulfills our deepest longing for relationship.

Tune in to learn how embracing true adulthood – responsibility, valuing individuality, empathy, and respecting freedom – unlocks the marriage God designed you for.
