Episode notes
Be Right With God First
- You cannot be right with someone else until you are right with yourself and God.
- Lean into God first and allow Him to change you before trying to change your spouse.
The Romantic Solution Fails
- The greatest contributor to broken marriages is unrealistic expectations, especially expecting your spouse to save you.
- The 'romantic solution' is disastrous because only God can truly fill the heart.
Let Trusted Mentors Weigh In
- Involve trusted spiritual mentors or parents when choosing a spouse to provide objective insight.
- Let them weigh in, not dictate, because they often see blind spots you cannot.
