One Flesh - Ep. 52 Reaping What You Sow | Solo

I get told often that the exceptional or uniquely pleasant parts of my marriage are either temporary or just a result of getting "lucky" with who I chose as a wife. They say "just wait until you have the kid", "yeah wait till you are married as long as I have been", or "yeah I think you just got lucky with a great woman".Make no mistake, I am incredibly blessed, God has given me much more than I deserve and I am very sure that all Good things ultimately come from Him. However, I know that actions have consequences, both good and bad, and I am here to tell you that if you do the work the results will follow. My wife and I have worked hard, non-stop, to develop and maintain our marriage. We've prepared for the hard times. We have had disagreements, worked out issues, and stayed committed to the daily discipline it takes to handle new stresses and obstacles that appear. Yes we are blessed, and we have been given much, but we do the work. My son Jonah arriving has tested our marriage in new ways that sometimes catch couples off-guard. While it has been tough we have clearly seen the benefits of our work and been incredibly thankful for the commitment we made to continuously better our marriage and work as a unit. All in all, this episode is not about me trying to brag, or sing mine and my wife's praises. I am simply trying to convey the truth: this stuff WORKS. The methods I talk about, all of which I have learned from other people, do work and they work well. Your marriage is obviously unique, but I assure you that the core tactics of my episodes; Extreme Ownership, Daily Discipline, Living in Service, etc. will bear fruit when you apply them to your marriage. So take action now. Assume the leadership role you are called to in your marriage and commit to doing the work. I promise the results will follow.
