How do you keep the spark alive in your marriage when you're completely exhausted by the demands of parenting, careers, and life itself? Join us as we share our personal journey of navigating emotional depletion and maintaining a thriving marriage. Drawing from years of counseling, coaching, and continuous learning, we discuss the importance of having a vision for your marriage and intentionally investing in your relationship amidst the chaos. With heartfelt reflections and real-life examples, we explore how to keep your connection strong, even when overwhelmed by responsibilities.

Do you ever feel like your partner is to blame for your unhappiness? We delve deep into the concept of contempt in relationships and how it often stems from a desire to avoid feeling powerless. Learn how true love and vulnerability can break this destructive cycle and transform behavior. We'll share insights on how unconditional love can endure even when one partner feels disconnected, and the difference between true vulnerability and manipulation. By communicating without expectations, you can foster a more honest and loving relationship.

Feeling stuck, sad, or disconnected in your marriage? Discover the importance of intentional daily acts of love and mutual effort in rebuilding connection. We'll highlight the necessity of addressing feelings of inadequacy and seeking professional help, such as marriage counseling. Explore the power of relentless prayer, creating boundaries, and maintaining faith even when one spouse isn't willing to grow. Through our personal experiences and the tools that have helped us maintain intimacy, we hope to bless and support your journey towards a loving and fulfilling marriage.
