The Magic of the “Compound Effect” in Marriage

Have you read the book Atomic Habits? [image] {NAME}, Have you read the best selling book Atomic Habits by James Clear? I read it several years ago, and I still think about it often. It’s fascinating! The premise of the book is that tiny changes can lead to remarkable results. Here’s why that matters… “We overestimate the importance of big, defining moments and underestimate the value of making small, daily improvements.“ Too often we convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action. But really, it’s all about the power of small & simple things. Have you ever heard of the “compound effect?” It’s the same principle as “compound interest” that we’ve all heard of when we talk about finances. For example… Did you know that: A single penny that doubles every day for 31 days has a larger payoff than taking 3 m-i-l-l-i-o-n dollars in cash today?! Crazy, right?! Here’s another example of compound interest in action… [image] Look at this chart! - The blue is the amount invested - The red is the growth or money earned!! What makes the difference? TIME! THAT is the power of compound interest! Well… GOOD NEWS! They’ve done a lot of studies and found that the same principle applies to habits! Small habits compound over time. The same way that money multiplies through compound interest, the effect of your habits multiplies as you repeat them. They seem to make little or even no difference on any given day but the impact they deliver over the months and years can be ENORMOUS! This applies to every area of your life- including your marriage! [image]( You get what you REPEAT! This explains why the 10 Minute Marriage Challenge has been so incredibly successful in transforming marriages! [image]( It’s so SIMPLE that, at first, you wonder if it’s even making a difference. But after months and months of small, consistent acts of love- you look back and realize just how much your relationship has changed! Just listen to some of these experiences from husbands & wives... - “The 10 minute text challenge was a total GAME CHANGER for our marriage! And I don’t say that lightly. To be honest, I was skeptical when I first joined that I could convince my husband to do it with me. (He’s not much of a romantic.) But almost 3 months later I can say that it’s one of the best things we’ve ever done for ourselves. We are laughing again and flirting again and we’ve found that passion that we had lost. It feels like I’m his girlfriend again and he’s showing me more attention than he has in years. Thank you!” - Crystal Keyser - “Honestly, this challenge saved our marriage. Your challenge texts helped us choose love even when we didn't necessarily want to. It brought us closer than we have possibly ever been and definitely spiced up our bedroom time together. Thank you! It really is the small actions that we do daily that make an impact on our relationship.” - Will Deuter - “Before we started this challenge I was not very happy with the way we were putting our marriage at the bottom of kids, work, church, etc. I didn’t feel as valued in my husband's eyes as I once was. I know he loved me and I loved him, but it felt more like a sibling love instead of a passionate husband and wife love. This challenge has been such a fun change up and the passion is back!! I honestly can’t wait for my husband to get home because I just want to spend more time with him. He will do extra things out of the blue to help with the kids and around the house. Marriage is fun again! I will definitely tell everyone I know to do this… because it is SO worth it!! You won’t regret the time and effort you put into your marriage!!” -Stephanie P This is why we decided to change 10 MMC from a 3-month challenge to an ongoing subscription! Simple, small incremental changes lead to exponential results over time!
