A short spoken reflection by Mark Batterson emphasizing that marriage should be appreciated as a miracle and urging listeners to adopt non-anxious curiosity toward others. He recounts insight from a couple’s counselor and offers two personal rules: everyone is superior in some way (learn from them) and everyone is fighting a hidden battle (extend grace).

Chapters

Don't forget at one point the Israelites were complaining about manna which was a miracle and we think how could they do that? Well marriage is a miracle. It is and yet we sometimes complain. So let's, let's enjoy the miracle. But here's the last thing and this comes out of a counseling session. Laura and I have a counselor that both individually and as a couple we've met with many, many times over many, many years. She recently said something that just kind of rocked our world. It's this idea that you have to have non anxious curiosity towards others and you know that's hard because you can feel like you have your spouse all figured out or if you have children, you know. But I think I have two rules of life. Every person is my superior in some way and that I learn of them. And two, everyone's fighting a battle I know nothing about so I want to have an extra measure of grace.
