JJ opens up about his struggles with being overly critical in dating, reminding us to see the beauty in people rather than focusing on tiny flaws.

JJ shares his plan to apologize to his wife for his selfishness, highlighting the importance of owning our flaws and committing to growth.
JJ evaluates the idea that "you always marry the wrong one." Instead of constantly reevaluating your partner, focus on building love and becoming the right kind of person.
Marriage is about choosing to love and forgive repeatedly, even when it’s hard. JJ ties this to absorbing debts and bringing pain to Jesus for healing.
