Our spouse is not a one-stop shop to meet all of our needs, nor is our spouse equipped to carry the weight of our extensive expectations for happiness. Listen in to learn more about how we arrived at such unrealistic expectations in the first place, and the effect it’s having on Christian marriages. And be sure to stay tuned for Part II next week, where we’ll discuss a better model for marriage than that of holding our spouse hostage for our emotional state (come on, it will be fun)!
