On this episode, we originally planned to share with you safeguards you can put in place to protect your marriage. But, as Ted says, that’s been done—a lot! So instead, we turn the topic on its head and discuss what you can do to ruin your marriage.

Listen in as we share four things you might be doing to hurt your relationship. You’ll hear why each of these is destructive and why we definitely don’t recommend doing them!

4 Ways You Can Ruin Your Marriage {We Don’t Recommend Them}

  2. Stop communicating and start burying issues
  3. Focus on the negative
  4. Stop connecting
