Sometimes the simplest epiphanies have the most profound impact. I’ve found these tiny axioms to be helpful in keeping us on point in our marriage. We’ve written a few posts that reinforce some of these (linked below), but in every case they’ve helped us keep the important things first.
I encourage you to read through this list and consider what they mean for your marriage and how you can put them into practice. Then if you feel inclined, comment with axioms you’ve found valuable in your marriage!
