Navigating the ups and downs of marriage can be a bit like trying to find your way in a corn maze while blindfolded. We’ve all been there, right? In this deep dive, we chat about the often-overlooked importance of celebrating the little victories in our relationships. After 34 years of marriage, we’ve learned that progress doesn’t always slap you in the face with fireworks and confetti. Sometimes it’s subtle—like finding that missing sock or remembering to take out the trash without being asked (score!). We encourage couples to take a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the growth that’s taken place, even if it feels like you’ve been treading water. It’s a great way to shift your perspective and remind yourselves why you fell in love in the first place. So grab a cozy blanket, a cup of cocoa, and let’s chat about how gratitude can be the secret sauce to a thriving marriage!
