    Marriage Isn’t a Fix

    Welcome back to the Naked Marriage Podcast with Dave & Ashley Willis! In today’s episode, we dive into the common misconception that marriage can magically fix all our problems. We get real about how, instead of being a quick fix, marriage often shines a light on our personal struggles and amplifies both the highs and the lows. We share some personal stories and chat about the power of grace, patience, and embracing each other's differences. We also touch on the importance of setting realistic expectations and steering clear of the comparison trap—because every marriage has its unique journey, and that's something worth celebrating! --------------- For all links mentioned in the episode & more XO content, visit https://linktr.ee/nakedmarriage --------------- Chapters 00:00 Debunking the Myth: Marriage Will Fix All Problems 01:30 Amplifying the Good and the Struggles in Marriage 02:55 Marriage as a Mirror: Reflecting Flaws and False Narratives 05:49 Bearing with Each Other and Showing Grace in Marriage 09:39 Celebrating Differences in Marriage 19:04 Setting Realistic Expectations and Avoiding Comparison in Marriage Learn more about your ad choices.
