Try Harder isn't the Answer: Straight Talk on Performance & Perfectionism in Marriage--Portia Collins
from FamilyLife Today® · host FamilyLife Network
Perfectionism in marriage can make home feel more like a performance review than a relationship. On FamilyLife Today, Dave and Ann Wilson talk with Portia Collins about the pressure to get everything right—and the freedom that comes when undeserved kindness replaces relentless effort. Through humor, honesty, and the book of Galatians, Portia shares how walking by the Spirit reshapes marriage, parenting, and the exhausting habit of keeping score.
