As 2024 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what worked well for us this year. In this episode of Redesign Your Marriage, we dive into the practical changes and intentional actions that strengthened our marriage, family, and personal lives. From weekly check-ins to creating memorable moments with our kids, we share the wins and lessons that shaped this year.

If you’re looking for inspiration to kick off your 2025 with purpose, this episode is packed with ideas you can apply in your own life, marriage, and family.

In This Episode:

• Vision Retreats: How taking time as a family to set goals for the year helped us build unity and stay aligned.
• One-on-One Getaways: Why carving out individual time with our kids created lifelong memories and deepened our relationships.
• Weekly Check-Ins: Our simple framework for discussing health, wealth, and relationships as a couple and as a family.
• Expanding Our Circle: The benefits of double dates with other couples and learning from those in different seasons of life.

As you step into 2025, remember that God’s promises are faithful. Even when growth feels slow or progress seems delayed, trust that He’s working on the inside to bring transformation to the outside. Reflect on what worked well for you this past year, and don’t be afraid to leave behind what didn’t.
