Most marriages don't fall apart because of one big mistake. They break down through small, unnoticed habits.

In this episode of Eden Restored, we talk honestly about the "little foxes" that quietly damage intimacy: unresolved conflict, missed bids for connection, mismatched desire, stress and invisible labor, sexual shame, and small breaches of trust. Couples learn how to address them before they erode love, trust, and connection.
