The Biggest Issue In Marriage Today

What’s the biggest issue in marriage today?

Some say communication. Others assume it’s social media. Many would say their most significant issue is money.

But it’s none of those things.

While you may have communication problems, money problems, and might feel the negative impacts of social media, the biggest issue in marriage today is attention.

The two leading marriage experts of our day, John Gottman and Sue Johnson, say attention—getting it from our spouse and leveraging it for our good—is the biggest issue in marriage today. I can almost guarantee it’s the most important issue in your relationship.

Last night at the West Coast Marriage and Family Conference in California, we are giving a sneak peek to our latest project at Change the Odds.

The Change the Odds Podcast is soon to launch, and before it does, I want you to see episode 4 because it is about this vital issue of attention in marriage.

Podcast Network

The Change the Odds Podcast is one of a series of podcasts from Thrive Media and the Thrive Family of Podcasts. Along with my friends Mark Clark (Off the Record with Mark Clark), Wesley Towne (Better Days), Dominic Done (Pursuing Faith), and colleagues at Thrive College (Thrive College Podcast), we hope to bring you meaningful content from a Christian perspective about the most pressing issues of our day.

And of course, we have a good lineup of books in the pipeline slated for release over the next three years. Stay In Your Lane was just the first book for Thrive Media. There is more to come.
