If you could go back….
If you could go back to the beginning of your marriage and give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be?
After more than 30 years together, Butch and Julieann Hartman can look back and see plenty of things they wish they'd understood as newlyweds.
In this episode of The Marriage Show, they talk about learning to consider your spouse in the decisions you make, adapting to each other's differences, growing together in Christ, and understanding that marriage is a covenant—not simply a contract.
Marriage means bringing two lives together and building something new. And that can require patience, flexibility, sacrifice, communication, and a willingness to keep learning about the person you married.
Butch and Julieann also discuss why you should never stop dating your spouse, the value of premarital counseling, praying together, and creating a marriage that leaves a healthy legacy for the generations that follow.
Whether you're preparing to get married, you're a newlywed, or you've been together for decades, there's always something new to learn about building a stronger marriage.
Marriage is a journey and we're on it with you 🧡
