Every marriage has a culture.

It’s reflected in the way you greet each other.

How you handle disappointment.

Whether laughter is common.

Whether kindness is expected.

The question isn’t whether your marriage has a culture.

The question is: What kind of culture are you creating?

In this Compass Issue, you’ll discover how everyday choices gradually shape the emotional culture of a marriage… and why even one person can begin influencing that culture toward greater connection.
