One of the biggest misconceptions about marriage is that once you’ve made it through the wedding day - you say your “I do’s,” ride off into the sunset, and the rest just magically falls into place. The truth? Nothing could be further from reality. In this week's 5-Minute Friday episode, Monty & Jeannine explore this misconception.The wedding is a moment; marriage is a lifetime. Too often, couples spend more energy planning for that one day than they do preparing for the countless days that follow. But marriage isn’t sealed by a single “yes” at the altar—it’s sustained by the countless “yeses” you choose every single day. Each morning, you have the opportunity to recommit to your spouse—for better or worse, in the highs and the lows. That’s where the beauty of real love lives: in the daily choice to keep showing up, keep loving, and keep saying “I do,” over and over again. Just 5 minutes. One meaningful perspective shift. A better, stronger marriage.
