Grow Together or Drift Apart...PART 2

04/15/24 • 47 min

Ever wondered how speaking to the King or Queen in your spouse can transform your communication? WE are inviting you to a candid discussion about the art of communication in marriage—a reflection sparked by our transformative experience at the "Weekend to Remember" marriage conference. We navigate the journey from casual conversation to the depths of transparency, sharing how vulnerability crafts a sanctuary for two souls to thrive. This episode is an open book about our own communication evolution and the pivotal moments that taught us the power of nurturing words within a family.
WE have worn many hats, but perhaps the most enlightening was our role as House Parents to young moms—a chapter in our lives that exemplified the ripple effect of respectful communication. Our stories from this time not only celebrate the strength in kind words but also challenge the entrenched patterns that can silently erode the foundations of our relationships. Join us as WE dissect the habits WE have inherited and the silent dangers they pose, offering insights on how to break free from the chains of our past. It's an exploration of the tools necessary to build a bridge back to one another when distance creeps in, and a reminder that dialogue is so much more than just exchanging words.
This episode doesn't shy away from the challenges of fostering an environment where transparency is not just welcomed but celebrated. WE peel back the layers of what it means to truly listen and be present, and how our attentiveness can become the bedrock for deeper connection. From navigating relationship triggers to supporting one another in complementarity, we share the intricate dance of communication that guards against creating an atmosphere of walking on eggshells. It’s about understanding the unsaid, the power of "I feel" statements, and how every word we speak reverberates into the legacy we leave behind. So, tune in and let us guide you towards enriching your own language of love and togetherness.

Can chronic illness strengthen a marriage? How do you stay connected when life gets overwhelmingly busy? These are just some of the pivotal questions WE explore in this episode. WE begin by reflecting on our journey through 2024, celebrating the small victories in our personal and financial goals while acknowledging the areas that need more work. You'll hear about our commitment to regular date nights and the enriching Bible studies that have deepened our bond, alongside a candid discussion on our "Money Monday" meetings and the importance of budgeting and multiple income streams.
Our conversation then shifts to the deeply personal topic of chronic illness and its impact on marriage. We open up about the progression of lung issues from sporadic incidents to persistent health crises and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies it. This heartfelt segment reveals our evolving perspectives on support and self-reflection, emphasizing the strength found in unity and unconditional love. WE aim to offer valuable insights for anyone navigating similar challenges, underscoring the importance of rejecting selfish thoughts and staying united in the face of adversity.
Finally, WE delve into the concept of "drift" in marriage and the importance of intentional communication. Drawing wisdom from Gary Thomas' "Sacred Marriage," WE discuss how shared activities and prioritizing our relationship have fostered deeper intimacy.
