#### The Best Time to Work on Your Marriage? NOW! ⏰
Our hosts, Evan and Susan Money, tackled the “better time trap”—the excuses we all fall into about waiting for the 'right time' to improve our marriages. The message is clear: there is no better time than now. 🕒
**Key Takeaway:** Start immediately by asking this powerful question: “What is the one thing I can do today to be a better husband or wife?” Listen intently, and most importantly, act on it without delay.
#### Cracking the Love Language Code 💞
Many of you asked, “How do I discover my spouse’s love language?” Evan and Susan shared an interesting twist: instead of focusing directly on love languages, ask your spouse what the most hurtful thing is anyone has done to them. Hidden within their answer is a key to understanding their primary love language.
**Pro Tip:** Consistency is crucial—embracing the process of loving and not just the outcome.
#### Supporting Your Spouse's Growth 🌱
One of the standout questions was how to support your spouse’s changes. Here’s a golden nugget: focus on your own growth. The only things you can control are your actions and attitudes. By working on yourself, you create a positive ripple effect in your marriage.
**Action Step:** Pray for your spouse daily. Susan shared wisdom from Stormie Omartian’s *The Power of a Praying Wife*, reminding us that prayer invites God's transformative power into our marriages.
#### Praising Over Nagging and Information 🗣️🙏
Evan emphasized the importance of praise over information for men, and Susan highlighted the miraculous power of simply stopping the nagging and reminding for women.
**Challenge:** Men, praise the behavior you want to see. Women, stop the reminders. Transformations can happen in seemingly magical ways.
