8: Being Perfectly Imperfect and How That Relates to Your Marriage

Is your marriage perfectly imperfect?

I know you guys will be excited because my hubby Jon is back on the show! Today we are covering an interesting topic…Being imperfect in your life and marriage.

I want to ask you guys something. How often do you expect your spouse to be perfect? Do you ever consider the fact that you are not perfect, yet you expect your spouse to be? I know I am guilty!

Jon and I share how we overcame having very high expectations of one another in the beginning of our marriage. It wasn’t easy to do, but that’s why we are here….to walk you through it! You will hear the lessons we have learned from accepting that no one is perfect.
