Marriage Maintenance

Summary

Marriages require consistent maintenance, much like physical possessions, to remain healthy and strong. The sermon, referencing David Brooks' "The Second Mountain," identifies three attitudes that erode marital bonds: choosing self-protection over vulnerability, prioritizing task-based achievements over relationship building, and a me-centered perspective instead of a we-centered one. The practical takeaway is to actively cultivate a deep, passionate connection with your spouse over simply accomplishing goals or protecting yourself.
