"Rut" - A habit or pattern of behavior that has become dull and unproductive but is hard to change.

Yep, we've all been there.  Whether it's your job, your schedule, your marriage or even your parenting we've all been in a rut.  Our excitement has waned and our enthusiasm for life in general has tumbled as a result. 

Although these seasons of life are common they are also potentially dangerous.  When one spouse or both are going through a season like this it can spill over into the marriage quickly.  And let's face it, we bring things home with us.  Our spouse can easily become the outlet of our negative feelings and emotions. 

So, how do we handle these "ruts" in the right way?

Listen and hear Heather and Griffin talk candidly about their very real struggles in this area.  You will hear them open up about the challenges they have faced over the past ten years and how they have learned to not only notice when their spouse is in a rut but also how to approach them in a way that helps them get out of it.

Thank you for taking this journey with us!  We hope to strengthen your marriage one conversation at a time.  And don't forget to check out more resources at RealMarriagePodcast.com.
