Does a trip to the tropics in the middle of a long cold winter help warm up your soul enough to make the season manageable?

What would it be like if that could work the same in your marriage when it seems things need a slight thawing?

I think it works the same in relationships as it does with seasons.

Imagine Minnesota winters ALL YEAR LONG 🥶.

A short trip to Florida won’t do much to thaw you out.

Now, apply that same concept to your marriage.

BUT, what if you could bring some of the heat of the tropics into your marriage for more than a few days?

Now that’s worth investing in!

This week I dive into 6 EASY things you can start doing TODAY to bring some heat and connection back into your marriage, no matter how long it’s been since you’ve seen the heat of summer.

Try explaining something you don’t understand; you can’t do it without laughing or wanting to cry.

Let me explain.

You’re in a funk, but you’re not sure why; I mean, life is going really well right now; you should be partying like it’s 1999!

You can’t explain it to your spouse, so you withdraw, which could be understood through their lenses as you’re mad at them for doing something wrong.

Nothing gets resolved, and you continue to distance yourselves to avoid feeling awful.

This is not good communication, but it’s what happens in the lives of many couples.

What do you do about this problem? Learning to communicate well is a start, but you need to start practicing something else before communicating well.

First, I want to tell you to relax. This is going to feel so much better than trying to explain the unexplainable to your spouse!

This crucial step starts with you, like most things we do here in AwakenYou in your marriage, so tune into this week’s episode, which is all about the One Crucial Element To Good Marital Communication.

Sure, you can ask Google how to set relationship goals, and you will get all sorts of information; try it!

Maybe you even take a stab at one or two of the suggestions you discover.

You might quickly discover the Google suggestion felt awful and awkward, and your spouse didn’t respond as you hoped.

Maybe you’ve already given these tactics a go, and your new year healthy eating goals lasted longer than a repeat of a tactic that left you feeling less than loved and desired.

Why are relationship goals so difficult?

My simple answer is this: we’re talking about matters of the heart.

When it comes to matters of the heart, most of us will go to extremes to protect our hearts from getting hurt.

But, on this week’s AwakenYou in your marriage episode…

EPISODE 100, BTW!!!!! 🥳

I am going to help you start taking steps toward the goal of creating a marriage that has your heart asking for more.

What they did hurt.

Disappointment, frustration, resentment.

They all lead to anger, bitterness, and disconnection.

Maybe it’s time.

To forgive.

I know; it seems like forgiving is giving in.

It seems like it’s telling them that what they did was ok.

It seems like we’re telling them they don’t need to change.

Forgiveness is none of that.

Forgiveness is about freedom.

Your freedom.

If someone has hurt you and you can’t seem to shake it, maybe you’ve been holding on to it for what feels like a lifetime, then it’s time to let it go.

Tune into this week’s episode about extending forgiveness and find out why along with a four-step process you can use as a guide to begin.
