“So one of my favorite leadership teachers, Jim Rohn, taught small errors in judgment over a period of time will result in accumulated disaster.”
I used to love running. I would go out every day and explore new routes. But after a while, I started to notice some pain in my right hip. I thought it was just muscle soreness at first, but it didn’t go away. I saw a general practice doctor and they said everything was fine, but after a few weeks I knew something was really wrong. I ended up going to an orthopedic specialist and they told me I had a serious fracture in my hip. I had to have surgery and it was a really long recovery process. I think this is a really good illustration of what can happen in a marriage relationship. Small fractures can grow and cause real damage if they’re not addressed.
In this episode you will learn: 1. How small errors in judgment can accumulate into disaster in a marriage relationship 2. How ignoring ongoing pain in a marriage relationship can lead to larger problems 3. What are some signs that there may be a stress fracture in a marriage relationship
