Grace and Good Will: Pillars for a Thriving Marriage

In this episode (January 22, 2026), Paul encourages couples to assume their spouse is well-intentioned and to offer unearned grace—acceptance and forgiveness—as a daily practice. He explains that believing the best is an act of faith and trust that can change how spouses treat each other. Paul also urges listeners to consider circumstances (for example, a tired nurse after a double shift) before reacting, while warning against tolerating abuse or becoming a doormat. Choosing to see the good in your spouse is presented as a powerful way to do marriage well.
