The 1% Rule That Can Save Your Marriage (Even If You're Struggling Right Now)

In his bestselling book Atomic Habits, James Clear teaches that small, consistent improvements — just 1% better each day — compound into massive change over time. What if we applied that same principle to our marriages?

Instead of waiting for grand romantic gestures or massive breakthroughs, what if we simply focused on one small, intentional act of love, respect, or communication each day?

One kind word.
One extended hug.
One effort to listen before reacting.
One choice to pray together before bed.

Your marriage doesn’t need perfection — it needs progress. And 1% better each day is enough to turn distance into closeness, and resentment into reconnection.

Remember: little things don’t stay little when they’re done daily.

If you're ready to start making intentional progress in your marriage — even if it’s just 1% at a time — I’d love to walk alongside you.
Work with me, and let’s rebuild your connection from the ground up.
