“You’re not the same person I married.”

At some point in almost every marriage, one or both spouses may feel that way. People change emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, spiritually, and professionally—and those changes can affect the entire relationship.

In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter talk about what it means to stay committed while your spouse evolves into a different version of the person you originally married.

They discuss emotional changes, career and financial growth, aging, weight changes, physical intimacy, self-esteem, and why couples must learn to adjust to the adjustments instead of expecting each other to stay the same forever.

Marriage isn’t about loving only the version of your spouse you met years ago. It’s about learning how to grow, communicate, adjust, and keep loving each other through every season.

If you’ve ever looked at your spouse and thought, “You’ve changed,” this conversation is for you.

Keep your hearts committed. ❤️
