## Resource

We’ve been told that marriage is the "happily ever after"— the place where your needs finally get met and the struggle finally ends. But what if that’s the very lie that’s killing your relationship? Most people spend their lives looking for a "soulmate" to complete them, but they aren't ready for a covenant that’s designed to... well, kill them. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison and Tim Ross are dropping the filter. They’re moving past the typical romantic clichés to talk about the one thing no one puts on the wedding invitation: the brutal, beautiful requirement to die to yourself every single day. Whether you’re married or want to be married one day, this conversation is for you. We’re diving into the stuff most people avoid: Why being "right" is actually the most expensive thing you can chase in your house (and how it’s currently suffocating your connection). Why your "individuality" might be the very thing standing in the way of the marriage you actually want. What happens to the atmosphere of your home when you finally choose sacrifice over self-preservation. Why marriage is designed to expose your deepest flaws—and why that’s actually the best news for your growth. This isn’t a date night manual, it’s a reality check. It’s time to stop treating your marriage like a contract and start carrying it like a cross.
