030: Your Questions Answered
This episode of the Marriage of Greatness podcast is packed with profound insights, practical tips, and heartwarming advice to help you elevate your marriage from good to great. #### 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. ### Exclusive Resources for Our Listeners - 🌐 **Visit Our Website**: Check out our 33 wedding experiences at for more inspiration. - 🎧 **Don’t Miss a Beat**: Go back to past episodes for deep dives into love languages, our stories, and much more!
