Conflict avoidance sounds nice but it’s actually really destructive to a marriage. When you ignore issues and don't resolve them, they stack up and cause much bigger problems than you originally had. Wayne and Max discuss this from a husband's perspective.

Colossians 3:19 says, “Husbands, love your wives and be gentle with them.”
It’s a sign of cherishing when we handle something with gentleness and care. Think of something that you really find valuable; something you own that is very meaningful or some item that you really love. Heirlooms or wedding rings. Your grandfather’s Bible or photo albums. You hold those things carefully and protect those things. You keep them safe. How much more would God have us treat the people we love that way?
Making the decision to change is a good thing, but being a gentle husband is a choice every man must make moment-by-moment, encounter-by-encounter with his wife.

One thing that can drain the life out of a marriage faster than just about anything…is constantly fighting.
Does that describe your marriage? If it does, we wanna encourage you! Hope is definitely not lost! It may feel like you can’t get out of that rut you’re in, but you can with a lot of love and grace. We know because we’ve had to learn how to do it ourselves! And we learned the hard way! But we did it, so we know it can be done. So, if you’re married and you’re stuck in this cycle, we want you to take a deep breath and grab a cup of coffee. Because we’re about to talk all about it on episode 5 of the Anything Together podcast.

Early on in our marriage, LeAnn and I were only able to have date nights once in a blue moon. With a young blended family, it was a real challenge to find babysitters or even opportunities for alone time. And unfortunately, that was enough to convince us that we didn’t need to focus on it at that stage of our lives.
It wasn’t until a very rocky season hit our marriage that we discovered the absolute necessity of dating. And it was then that we realized many ways we could have made our relationship a priority early on, but didn’t.
Among other important things that year, we saved our marriage by recommitting to planning consistent alone time. We started dating again.
So, this list comes from close examination of the struggles and successes of my own marriage. And I am convinced that these are 7 Ways That Dating Makes Your Marriage Healthier:
- It increases and sustains romance
- It stimulates conversation
- It breaks routine and drives spontaneity
- It fosters a deeper connection
- It offers much needed stress relief
- It often energizes passion and intimacy
- It creates an immeasurable sense of security in your children
