How to Avoid Bad Influences on Your Marriage
Details
Even the most loving of couples can develop bad habits in their marriage. Dave and Ashley Willis encourage husbands and wives to share as much as possible, rather than have separate bank accounts, hobbies, and even friends. The risk is pursuing your own life rather than prioritizing your spouse. Also, couples should avoid putting their marriage relationship “on hold” during the parenting years because many couples enter the empty nest years with an “empty” marriage. The Willis’ address common problems like score-keeping in marriage, and outsourcing your emotional time and energy to others rather than your spouse. They warn about “snoozer” marriages where couples don’t deal with conflict. And they also share the importance of having friends who will encourage and support your marriage.
