In this special birthday episode, I share personal strategies that have helped me sustain the spark in my marriage. Here's a breakdown of the five tricks that we explore in this episode:

1. Think Positive Thoughts: Start your day on a positive note. It sets the tone for the rest of your day and impacts how you interact with your spouse.

2. Focus on Your Response: Often, we burden ourselves with expectations of how others should act. Let's flip that. Focus on your reaction and response to them instead. This gives you the control and can dramatically improve your relationship dynamics.

3. Flirt and Date Your Spouse: Keep the flame alive! Treat your relationship with the importance it deserves. Remember, it's not just about living together, it's about loving together too.

4. Show Gratitude Everyday: Never underestimate the power of 'thank you.' Small gestures of appreciation can help keep resentment at bay and foster a deeper bond with your spouse.

5. Mix It Up: Add a little zest to your daily routines. Unpredictability can keep things exciting and break the monotony. Remember, the joy is in the journey, not just the destination.

I hope you find these tips useful. Here's to less 'meh' and more 'marvelous' in your marriage!
