Marriage Minute: Are You & Your Spouse Actually Best Friends? | Dave & Ashley Willis

Hey friends, welcome to the Marriage Minute on the Naked Marriage Podcast. Every Friday, we're dropping a new short episode to give you a quick jolt of encouragement for your marriage. This also serves as a sneak preview for this coming Monday's brand new episode. We hope you enjoy today's Marriage Minute. You and your spouse should be best friends. Like, friendship and romance in marriage are like two wings on the same bird. If you want your marriage to soar, you have to have both. And for most couples, they're better at one than the other. And which means one wing is stronger than the other, which means you kind of fly in a circle a little bit. If you wanna move forward and higher together, you have to get both of those to the same strength. The romance, the passion, the connection, the intimacy, all of that is one side. But then the other side is just the companionship, the fun, the connection, the friendship. And that's the part we're focusing on in this episode because it's an often overlooked and yet critically important part of marriage. And when you look at couples who've been married 50+ years and they're still holding hands and still laughing and still going strong, those are best friends. Thank you for tuning in to today's Marriage Minute. I hope it was an encouragement to you. Don't forget to come back on Monday for a brand new full-length episode of the Naked Marriage Podcast. We'll see you then.
