Big change isn't always what your marriage needs. In fact, sometimes the most powerful growth comes from the smallest, most consistent choices. In this episode, we talk about how to move the needle forward in your relationship—just 1% at a time—without the pressure of perfection.

💡 What You'll Learn in This Episode

  • Why the pressure to fix everything at once leaves couples feeling stuck
  • The power of compounding small actions and how they can transform your marriage over time
  • How lofty expectations of perfection can sabotage intimacy
  • Why it's essential to address sin like pride, anger, or bitterness—rather than just covering it up with good habits
  • What "moving the needle" might look like practically in your home
  • How to let go of guilt and shame and replace them with God's daily mercies

🛠️ Practical Takeaways

  • Choose one small thing to do better this week (listen more attentively, speak a word of encouragement, offer a small act of service, say "I'm sorry").
  • Remember: consistency, not perfection, creates change.
