No marriage is perfect. But every marriage can get better. Do you feel like the spark is gone? Has a critical spirit invaded your marriage? Do you want more intimacy, but something is in the way? You could be suffering from the Perfection Infection.



The Perfection Infection happens when we cultivate unrealistic expectations of ourselves and our spouse, gradually leading to intimacy-killing behavior, also known as the "Seven Slow Fades." That was the case for Jill and Mark Savage, and it eventually led to infidelity.



In her book No More Perfect Marriages and in today’s episode, Jill speaks honestly about their struggles, how they came back from betrayal, and the principles that keep their marriage strong today. She guides us in everything we need to know to kick the Perfection Infection right out and return to intimacy.



On today’s show, we discuss:




How the Perfection Infection invades a marriage--even a good marriage


How to detect and correct the Seven Slow Fades


How to set and communicate realistic expectations


What to do if your spouse won't change


How to guard your marriage from the Perfection Infection for good

No More Perfect Marriages with Jill Savage

Your emotions are not your enemy. They are a gift.

Feelings are messy, and we all have different strategies for dealing with them—usually controlling, avoiding, or indulging them. But what if you allowed yourself to follow your feelings in prayer instead of trying to run from them?

In today’s episode, Anjuli Paschall helps you move from being stuck in your feelings to a place of peace by:

· Identifying and giving you words for every emotion--the good, the confusing, and the complicated--helping you name exactly what you feel

· Offering you 75 prayers to pray--one for every feeling

· Providing scripture for every emotion

Her book Feel is a resource that will guide you throughout your day and offer you hope, wisdom, and courage through some of the most challenging seasons of your life. Instead of navigating around your feelings, allow them to guide you toward healing, wholeness, and abiding connection with God. Then, you will begin to see how feelings are a doorway into intimacy with a Savior who loves you.
