Listen Later

Can you believe it? We’ve made it to our 200th episode! 🎉 We’re so thankful for your support and excited to celebrate with a heart-to-heart conversation. 

Today, we’re diving into the topic of marriage wellness and how generosity can create a foundation for lasting love.  Throughout our candid conversation, we openly assess our marriage and identify areas where we can grow and improve.

Inspired by The Go-Giver Marriage by John and Ana Mann, we explore what it means to be intentional in your relationship. We'll uncover the secrets to lasting love and share personal stories, lessons from our own journey, and practical insights into how generosity plays a vital role in marriage. 

Whether you’re thriving or facing struggles, this episode is packed with inspiration and actionable steps to strengthen your bond. 

What You’ll Learn:

  • The importance of spoken appreciation in creating connection.
  • How attending to your partner’s needs can strengthen intimacy.
  • Why allowing your partner to “be” is essential for trust and safety.
  • How belief in your partner can fuel their growth—and yours.

Actionable Takeaways:

  1. Start a daily appreciation practice: Share one specific and spoken compliment or thank-you with your partner each day.
  2. Notice and act on your partner’s needs: Pay attention to what they need emotionally or physically, and take small steps to support them.
  3. Assess your relationship energy: Reflect on the energy you bring to your interactions. Are you supportive, kind, and patient?
  4. Communicate belief: Verbalize your faith in your partner’s abilities and character regularly.
  5. Focus on personal growth: Choose one area where you can grow, and take intentional steps to improve.
