Welcome to another empowering episode of The You Matter Podcast. I'm Amanda Beilke, your Christian marriage coach, wife, ​mama, ​and ​ ​friend ​in ​this ​journey ​of ​faith ​and ​marriage.. Join me as we explore the transformative power of personal growth in marriage. I want to share a personal story of introspection during a challenging season. Focusing on my own development rather than trying to change my husband led to profound shifts in our relationship.

As we embrace the fall season, I invite you to consider how you can initiate a fresh start in your marriage. Together, we'll uncover 10 practical ways to foster growth, connection, and joy without the pressure of fixing your partner. From letting go of resentment to practicing curiosity instead of criticism, these strategies are designed to cultivate emotional safety and intimacy.

Today's episode is brought to you by my partnership with USANA, a trusted source for high-quality nutritional products that support health and well-being.
