The Marriage Refresh (Week 1) — Self-Care as Delight


Listen Later

Over the next eight weeks, we’re doing something special around here called The Marriage Refresh—and you’re invited.

This series is happening everywhere I show up: inside my free Facebook group, on the podcast, in emails, and across social media. It’s a gentle, powerful reset for your heart, your joy, and your marriage—and this first week is all about self-care as delight.

In this episode, I’m sharing a teaching that’s been available inside my free Facebook group, Easy Biblical Marriage, because this skill is too foundational to keep contained.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode…
If practicing “the skills” feels impossible right now…
If you’re exhausted, resentful, or disconnected from yourself…

This episode is for you.

  • Why self-care is the foundation that makes every other marriage skill possible

  • How taking responsibility for your own joy changes the entire dynamic of your marriage

  • My personal testimony of practicing self-care during one of the hardest seasons of my life

  • The difference between selfish self-care and biblical delight

  • Why delight makes you more magnetic, peaceful, and emotionally safe to be around

  • How self-care actually expands your time instead of taking it away

  • What to do when you get pushback or “bait” as you change the dance

  • Practical, real-life examples of self-care in the trenches of motherhood

  • How to orient yourself toward what is possible in every season

  • Why joy is not optional—it’s spiritual, biblical, and transformative

We also workshop this skill together in real time, sharing simple, doable ideas for delight that fit different seasons of life—especially when you’re busy, tired, or overwhelmed.

This episode marks Week 1 of The Marriage Refresh, and everything over the next eight weeks builds from here. Self-care is the spring that feeds everything else.
