#369: Decluttering Your Way to a Better Marriage (Really!)

This week, Kathi returns to her first love: helping you have a happier, better marriage. Kathi is joined by frequent guest and host of Clutter Free Academy online, Tonya Kubo, to discuss several ways that decluttering can help you build a better marriage. 

One of the most frequent questions Kathi is asked is, "What do I do about my husband's stuff?" in this episode, you'll learn more about her top three answers for that question:

• Deal with your own stuff before you deal with your spouse's stuff.
• Don't argue about stuff. Agree on space.
• Discuss the reasons behind wanting to live a more clutter free life.

You'll also learn how decluttering makes a better marriage by:

• Reducing conflict
• Giving you the opportunity to focus on ways to bless your spouse
• Helping you see your spouse's strengths
• Even upping the level of romance in your relationship (really)!

To read more practical ways to build a better marriage, check out Kathi's book, The Husband Project.
