4 Habits That Slowly Kill Your Marriage

Most marriages don’t crumble because of one big moment. In fact, most divorces happen because of small behaviors that wear things down over time: defensiveness, shutting down, keeping score, or conversations that feel more about winning than understanding. In this episode, we talk honestly about the patterns that erode connection over time and what it looks like to change them before they cause more damage. You’ll hear why tone and timing matter more than most people realize, how small reactions shape trust, and what it means to stop fighting to be right and start fighting for each other.   Download the Audio Podcast Here:   🍎 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-changed-podcast/id1673459490 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1hDrkE9K3UFibZ4JbZRZu6?si=c40fd216d7d54f64   🚨 Get more out of the Live Changed Podcast!
