In marriage, humility isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom. It’s the quiet strength that keeps love soft, apologies possible, and hearts safe. In this episode, we talk about why humility is your friend — and how choosing low can actually lift your marriage higher.

If whatever system has been employed begins to affect the health of the marriage, then it is worth reviewing, as in our view, each partner in a marriage must feel like a part of the whole, not the sacrifice for the whole.
