Expectations play a vital role in shaping marriages. In part two of my conversation with Mark and Jill Savage, we explore how four expectations in marriage can set a couple up for success. Expectations will either bring two people closer together or create a rift between them. This is why it’s important to learn to manage expectations within marriage. As a marriage coach, I've had the privilege of excavating the intricacies of marriages that, at their core, are molded by the expectations we hold. The Savages and I share personal experiences from our marriage journeys of rebuilding after infidelity. Listen and learn how understanding and realigning expectations can greatly impact and enhance your marriage.

Key Takeaways:

  • See Conflict as a Catalyst for Growth:
    Conflict should be expected and embraced in a relationship.
  • Learn to Navigate Disappointments:
    Accept that disappointment is part of any partnership.
  • Continue Investing in Your Marriage:
    Just like any worthwhile endeavor, marriage requires ongoing education and investment.
