No marriage is perfect. But every marriage can get better. Do you feel like the spark is gone? Has a critical spirit invaded your marriage? Do you want more intimacy, but something is in the way? You could be suffering from the Perfection Infection.

 

The Perfection Infection happens when we cultivate unrealistic expectations of ourselves and our spouse, gradually leading to intimacy-killing behavior, also known as the "Seven Slow Fades." That was the case for Jill and Mark Savage, and it eventually led to infidelity.

 

In her book No More Perfect Marriages and in today’s episode, Jill speaks honestly about their struggles, how they came back from betrayal, and the principles that keep their marriage strong today. She guides us in everything we need to know to kick the Perfection Infection right out and return to intimacy.

 

On today’s show, we discuss:

 

• How the Perfection Infection invades a marriage--even a good marriage

• How to detect and correct the Seven Slow Fades

• How to set and communicate realistic expectations

• What to do if your spouse won't change

• How to guard your marriage from the Perfection Infection for good

 

Join us in realizing that hurting marriages can heal and  good marriages can become great. Your marriage isn’t perfect, but it can be perfected.
