Marriage. Such a complicated thing.
Amazing? Heck yeah.
Challenging? DUH.
How to keep the spark alive in your marriage. Heavy idea. We don’t really want to face the fact that the spark is fading away.
Do you want to reconnect with your spouse?
Wait, here is a better question.
Do you need to find some ways to reconnect with your spouse?
Let me know if any of these statements sound familiar.
You feel a lack of love.
Bickering more than usual.
You have that “off” feeling.
And this next one is something I think we have all experienced at some point in our marriage.
Dun. Dun. Dun.
Ready to talk about the “T” word? We are talking about trust.
More specifically, how to build trust in a relationship.
This can be a touchy subject.
Is there trust in your relationship? Do you work on trust in your relationship?
Do you tend to cross your fingers and just hope it is there?
Communication in marriage is so important. Blah blah blah. We all know this.
But when I got married, there was no brochure handed to me that taught me all the secrets to communication success.
My husband and I have always rocked when it comes to communication. The lie detector says that is a lie. Yeah right. We have struggled just like every other couple. Heck, we are still navigating our way through it.
Do you have a healthy relationship?
Really think about this.
Grab your favorite drink and get comfy! Let’s talk about the signs of a healthy relationship.
There may be some areas where you know your relationship is at rock star status. And there are most likely areas that you are well aware deserve a “needs improvement” checkmark.
Looking for some inexpensive date ideas for couples? Look no further.
Let’s start with an important question.
When was the last time you went out for a night on the town? Yep, I’m talking about date night?
Was it last week? Last month? Maybe it has been so long you can’t even remember!
Marriage is a journey of curvy roads and lots of construction. I think we all know this.
But what do you do when it feels like things are on a downward spiral and there is no sign of a light at the end of the tunnel?
You may go looking anywhere and everywhere for some advice on how to save a marriage.
Or you may shut down. Those feelings of being hopeless can take over. Which only makes everything seem worse.
Do you want to save your relationship? This is such a scary and uneasy thing to have to think about.
How is your marriage doing? Smooth sailing or some heavy turbulence. Maybe a bit of both.
Especially if there are kids involved.
Having kids is amazing. But it is also hard. And it can knock you on your butt.
And hot dang it can throw your relationship for a loop. The loop de loop of all loops.
Couples have to learn how to have a healthy marriage after kids.
Does it ever seem like it should be so simple in relationships? Do these things. Don’t do these things. Just like following instructions.
Now, I am not a master at following instructions. Dang if I do not always have an extra screw left over when I try to put anything together. But building a nightstand is still a heck of a lot easier than building a strong and healthy marriage.
For one thing, there are two people in a relationship. And unless you are married to a robot, controlling your partner is not in the cards. Even though it would be nice from time to time.
All couples talk. Hopefully!
But what are we talking about?
The day to day conversations are always happening.
How was your day? What do you want for dinner? Some random thing that happened.
These are things that don’t require more than a few words or a grunt as a response.
But what about the things going on under the surface. The talks that require both people’s full attention.
The talks that are not always easy.
