Selfless Love: Put WE First and End the Fight in Marriage


Listen Later

Romance is great, but it’s not what keeps a marriage strong. In this Love Month episode, we’re shifting the focus from “be romantic” to “be selfless”—because most marriages don’t fall apart from incompatibility… they fall apart from selfishness. If you’ve felt off-track lately, overwhelmed, or stuck in tension, this episode is a jolt back on track.

  • Why “me over we” creates constant friction in marriage
