  “Many people say you can fix a broken marriage, but Mark and Jill show you how.” —Dr. Juli Slattery, psychologist, author, and president of Authentic Intimacy
  
    No marriage is perfect. But every marriage can get better. 
  
  Do you feel like the spark is gone? Like a critical spirit has invaded your marriage? Like you want more intimacy, but something is in the way? You could be suffering from the Perfection Infection. 
  The Perfection Infection happens when we cultivate unrealistic expectations of ourselves and our spouse, gradually leading to intimacy-killing behavior, also known as the “Seven Slow Fades.” That was the case for Jill and Mark Savage, and it eventually led to infidelity. 
  In No More Perfect Marriages they speak honestly about their struggles, how they came back from betrayal, and the principles keeping their marriage strong today. They guide you in everything you need to know to kick the Perfection Infection right out and return to intimacy.
  In their warm, honest, personable style, Jill and Mark discuss: 
   
     How the Perfection Infection invades a marriage—even a good marriage 
     How to detect and correct the Seven Slow Fades 
     How to set and communicate realistic expectations 
     What to do if your spouse just won’t change 
     How to guard your marriage from the Perfection Infection for good 
   
  Hurting marriages can heal, and good marriages can become great. It takes work, yes, but No More Perfect Marriages will give you the insights, language, and roadmap you need for the journey. So start today.
