Hey there, beautiful souls! Good morning and welcome to another heart-to-heart session on Mornings with Monette. I'm seriously thrilled you've joined me for this episode because we're diving deep into the magical world of marriages! Can you believe it? I'm as passionate about this topic as ever, and trust me, you have the power to transform your marriage.

Let's talk about the nitty-gritty, the stuff that often gets swept under the rug – fear. I've been pondering the foundation of marriages and, spoiler alert, it's often built on a bedrock of fears we bring in. I've been there – the premarital bliss, the commitment, and then the realization that we don't truly know each other. Fear plays a sneaky role in every conflict, big or small, from responsibilities to money, parenting, and even intimacy.

Here's the kicker: acknowledging our fears is the game-changer. It took me a while, but once I recognized fear as the culprit in my own marriage, the breakthrough was enormous. I'm here to tell you, darling, that your biggest fear is wanting to be loved and doing things right. It's time to take a hard look at ourselves, peel back those layers of defense mechanisms, and surrender to the ultimate key – trust in something greater. Reflect on this, journal about it, and let's unravel the fears together. Share this episode with a friend, hit that follow button, and remember, your thriving, passionate marriage is within reach!

Good morning, wonderful listeners! Welcome to another episode of Mornings with Monette. How's the start of your new year treating you? Today, we're diving into something crucial – Are you unknowingly taking your marriage for granted? It's a question that might stir some thoughts and emotions. Many of us live with the assumption that we have all the time in the world, but recent unexpected events have made me ponder the importance of exploring our marriages with a sense of urgency.

Imagine this: What if this were your last year with your spouse? Would you be content with your marriage staying the same? It's a thought-provoking exercise. Get that journal out and be honest. What areas would you want to improve? Communication? Quality time? More fun, excitement, or intimacy? The trivial things, like chores and habits – how significant are they in the grand scheme? This question brings a sense of urgency, prompting us to reassess and appreciate our marriages.

Now, let's talk about social media. I love connecting with friends and sharing experiences with my husband. Seeing friends memorialize their lost spouses on social media is a poignant reminder not to take my marriage for granted. It's a wake-up call we all might need. So, grab that journal again and ask yourself: If this were your last year, what needs attention? What would you regret not saying? Be honest, be vulnerable. Let's make this year your best in marriage by tapping into the power of love and urgency. Share this episode with a friend who needs it, and remember, your marriage is a gift worth cherishing. Until next week, this is Monette, signing off with love and anticipation. Have you tried this yet?
