A Candid Conversation on Marriage & How to Better Affair Proof Yours!

Marriage! We’re talking about marriage today! I know this episode is going to be such an incredible blessing to you! My lovely guest Jill Savage is sharing from her new book, No More Perfect Marriages. She gets very vulnerable and talks about her husband’s infidelity and how that impacted their family. I know you will be encouraged as she shares very practical advice about how you can work to affair proof your own marriage by being more aware of the “slow fades” that you may have.

I can’t wait for you to listen in.

In This Episode…

In this episode, Jill is sharing some amazing insight on marriage. She and her husband Mark wrote a blog series called “No More Perfect Marriages,” which tells of the story of their marriage going through a horrendous crisis. God asked them to share their story, which is where their book No More Perfect Marriages was designed. Their story is ultimately a story written for every marriage, in any stage.

I hope you will be encouraged with every episode of this podcast…starting with this one!

”We all deal with fades in our marriage…It’s one centimeter at a time and we don’t even realize it.” – Jill Savage

“Marriage is hard work. There are hard days, hard years, and hard times.” — Kristi Clover

“Every married couple is wonderfully incompatible. You need to know that going into marriage.” – Jill Savage

“Most of us don’t expect ourselves, husbands, or our kids to be perfect. But the truth is, when imperfect shows up, we don’t handle it very well.” — Jill Savage

“We were doing all the right things: date nights, speaking each others love languages, being intentional about time with each other. So, how did infidelity become apart of our story?” — Jill Savage

“When we put our guards down and allow little nagging things pull us away, Satan will jump on that opportunity, because he is opportunistic!” — Kristi Clover

”Satan is the real enemy. We often times see each other as the enemy and that’s a dangerous place to be as well.” – Jill Savage

“If we rise above and treat others better than they treat us and depend on God to do that, it is an “unhuman-able” experience!” — Jill Savage

Songs & Scripture Mentioned…

“Slow Fade” by Casting Crowns

“Just Be Held” by Casting Crowns

…& Yes! “Stop! Look! & Listen!” is an Elvis song! Ha!

“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)

“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” (Romans 12:9-18)
