134. The Quiet Death of a "Fine" Marriage - When Good Enough Becomes the Enemy of God's Best

About this episode

The episode discusses the dangers of settling for a 'fine' marriage and encourages listeners to confront the issues that may be quietly damaging their relationships.

" 'How are things in your marriage?' 'Fine.' That one word — 'fine' — has done more damage to Christian marriages than we'll ever know. Because 'fine' is so quiet you can lose ten years to it before you notice what happened. Today, we're going to do something uncomfortable. We're going to name exactly what 'fine' is actually costing you — in your present, in your legacy, and in the version of your marriage that's still possible. This isn't an episode to listen to while folding laundry. Find a quiet moment. Bring your honesty. We promise this one will land." >> Join WAITLIST of TKMM (Cohort #3 coming 5/8/26 ), our signature 6-month cohort — a powerful journey to radically transform your marriage from the inside out: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TKM MASTERY⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ >> Be a part of our Facebook community here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠FB Group⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (PS: must answer all questions in order to join). >> Have a question for us?
