Calling Out the Five Foxes That Sabotage Your Marriage

What if there are five dynamics in your marriage that you’re not even aware of that are destroying your intimacy and connection as a couple? Most of you probably don’t have all five going on at once, but Lisa and I recognized a couple harmful dynamics from the five that can work in the background and slowly wreak havoc in our marriage. 

These five “foxes” were pointed out in a book (yet to be published) written by Dr. Jennifer Schwirzer and David Asscherick, Try This at Home: Marriage. In a particularly strong chapter, they examine six foxes (we only had time in the video to address five of them) that often get under the fences of our marriage and start stealing the “grapes” of satisfaction and intimacy. 

Lisa and I spend time talking about these foxes because we found the information to be so practical. Plus, I have to admit, I like the idea of a pastor writing a book with a female counselor! The dynamic works for them as well as I believe it worked for Debra Fileta and me. 

If you can, I highly recommend you watch this with your spouse, and spend time talking about each of the foxes. Doing so could be a powerful exercise in rooting out an unhealthy dynamic that may be undercutting your satisfaction and connection in marriage.
