The Little Things | Ep. 395

We love romance and it’s easy to think that when your marriage is struggling or needs a boost - some big romantic gestures will fix it. But what makes a marriage awesome is not the big things, more often than not it’s the little things. The daily practices, the rhythms and routines we create as habits, the small things done over a consistent period of time that really make the difference in marriage. 

 

In this episode Dr. Kim & Christina talk about just that - the little things that make a marriage awesome.
