Hello, Beautiful Souls! I'm your host Amanda Pott and in this episode of The Intuitive Marriage Podcast, we’re diving into a question that’s central to everything we do: What is an intuitive marriage? Together, we’ll explore what it means to cultivate a deep, instinctual connection with your partner—one that goes beyond words and taps into something truly special.

We’re breaking down the key elements of an intuitive marriage and sharing practical tips and exercises that you can start using right away to deepen your bond. Whether you’re new to this concept or looking to enrich your existing relationship, we’ve got you covered with insights, guidance, and plenty of encouragement.

1. Defining an Intuitive Marriage:
   • An intuitive marriage is about building a deeply connected relationship where we’re truly in tune with each other’s emotional and energetic needs.
   • It involves emotional awareness, empathy, energy connection, communication beyond words, and shared growth.
2. Emotional Awareness:
   • This is about understanding our own emotions and being sensitive to our partner’s feelings, even when they’re not spoken aloud.
3. Empathy and Compassion:
   • Approaching each other with an open heart, ready to listen and support without judgment, creates a safe and loving space.
4. Energy Connection:
   • We can become more attuned to each other’s energy, recognizing moods and stress levels, and offering support that truly resonates.
5. Communication Beyond Words:
   • Sometimes, our connection speaks for itself. Developing non-verbal communication helps us understand each other on a deeper level.
6. Shared Growth:
   • An intuitive marriage is about growing together—spiritually, emotionally, and personally—while supporting each other’s individual journeys.

Exercises to Cultivate an Intuitive Marriage:

1. Daily Emotional Check-In:
   • Let’s set aside just five minutes each day to check in with each other’s emotional state. Asking open-ended questions and really listening can make a big difference.
2. Energy Alignment Exercise:
   • We can create a moment of connection by sitting together in a quiet space, holding hands, and focusing on our breath. Imagine our energies merging to deepen our bond.
3. Non-Verbal Communication Practice:
   • Let’s try communicating without words for a few minutes each day. This practice can strengthen our ability to read each other’s non-verbal cues and deepen our connection.

Listener Q&A:

• How can we build an intuitive connection when life is so busy?
  • It’s all about starting small. We can focus on consistent practices like daily check-ins to keep our connection strong, even when our schedules are packed.
• What if my partner isn’t as into the idea of an intuitive marriage?
  • We can introduce these concepts gently, starting with emotional and empathetic connection. By meeting our partner where they’re at, we can gradually build a deeper, mo

 Hello Beautiful Souls!! Amanda here

In Episode 13 of The Intuitive Marriage Podcast, we dive deep into the power of empathy and how it can transform your relationship. Empathy is the secret sauce to a thriving marriage. It’s about truly understanding and valuing your partner’s feelings.

Take a few minutes each day to ask your partner about their day, their feelings, and any challenges they’re facing. It’s a powerful way to stay connected and show that you care.

Tips for Cultivating Empathy:

1. Active Listening: 

• Focus on their words, tone, and body language. Show that you’re listening by nodding, making eye contact, and providing verbal affirmations like “I see” or “I understand.”

1. Perspective-Taking:
   • Put yourself in their shoes. Try to see things from their perspective, even if it means imagining what it's like to navigate the world with their quirks and habits.
2. Practicing Self-Compassion:
   • Building empathy also involves being kind to yourself. Practice self-compassion and give yourself the grace to make mistakes and learn from them.
   •  Remind yourself that it’s okay to have off days and that personal growth is a continuous journey.
