3 Genius Ideas to Strengthen Your Marriage This Week
Looking for more practical ways to build love and intimacy before Christmas?
Try these simple tips:
1: Put the Phones Away
Don't be so glued to your phone that you miss special moments to connect with your spouse during the holidays. 📱
Be intentional about leaving your phones in another room, turning off the TV, and silencing any other notifications so that you can be present with your spouse.
As a result, you’ll experience stronger emotional intimacy.
2: Write Love Letters to Each Other
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me… a love letter! 💌
As the year is wrapping up, express your gratitude to your spouse.
Write about a special memory or an experience you’d like to have together in the future. This is your chance to grow more connected with each other, even amid the chaos of the holidays.
3: Reflect and Plan
Reflect on the past year and acknowledge what went well, what goals were met, and what you are most grateful for. 💭
Then, communicate your expectations or desires for the new year.
What habits would you like to continue in your marriage?
Are there new things you are looking forward to trying?
How will you reach your spiritual or financial goals in the new year?
Make this holiday season one to remember by prioritizing connection and love! ❤️
Today's Trivia Answer
Question: The average American walks how many steps per day?
A. 1,000-2,000
B. 3,000-4,000
C. 5,000-6,000
D. 7,000+
According to Mayo Clinic, the average American walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, or roughly 1.5 to 2 miles.
If your goal is to walk 10,000 steps a day, there's a great way to reach this number while also strengthening your marriage.
It really is as simple as it sounds.
Walk. And. Talk.
Simple, and yet complicated. Walk and talk.
The walk and talk isn’t only surface conversation, but it’s also not always deep and heavy.
Nothing is off limits during a walk and talk, just let the conversation naturally happen.
What’s most important is that you take your first steps together and start talking.
