What if the biggest threat to your marriage isn’t one major problem, but dozens of small ones?

In this message, Pastor Dave Jordan reveals how bitterness slowly grows through unmet expectations, repeated frustrations, and unresolved hurt.

Using Song of Solomon 2:15, this sermon explains how “little foxes” quietly damage relationships before couples even realize what’s happening.

Through Scripture, real-life examples, and practical wisdom, you’ll learn:
Why bitterness rarely starts overnight
How small irritations become deep resentment
The hidden expectations hurting your marriage
Why gratitude weakens bitterness
How biblical forgiveness restores connection

If you feel stuck in repeated arguments, emotional distance, or unresolved tension, this message will help you identify what’s quietly harming your relationship, and how to stop it before it grows deeper.

The small things matter more than you think.
