Why Do We Settle for “Not That Bad” in Marriage?

It’s easy to complain when something feels off in your marriage—your spouse doesn’t help enough around the house, doesn’t connect with you emotionally, or doesn’t do things the way you’d like. But when it comes time to actually address those issues, many couples back down.

Why? Because change is uncomfortable.

We justify, saying: “It’s not really that bad. I’ve learned to live with it.” But settling for “not that bad” keeps you from the thriving, connected marriage you actually want.

Real growth requires risk. It means being honest, making changes, and stepping into the unknown together. Don’t let fear keep you from the marriage you deserve.

That’s exactly what we walk through in Marriage in Bloom—a six-month marriage intensive designed to help couples stop settling and start transforming. Learn more here: https://debbiecaudle.com/therapy-for-christian-couples/
