Love Language, Lazy Boys, and Our Surprise!

No matter how long you've been married or what all you think you know about marriage, there's always going to be one more thing to learn.

My husband and I have been married over 46 years, I help couples shift from ho-hum or strained marriages to better communication, mutual respect, trust, and even more romantic love. But... just a few months ago we bought two beautiful cream-colored lazy boy recliners from my father-in-law.

We love them!  They're beautiful.  They're comfortable. 

But we miss each other!!

 Through the last 2 years of "The Extraordinary Marriage" podcast, I've shared a plethora of relationship concepts from...

• Setting goals together  
• Learning to listen to one another
• Not letting your past interfere with your future
• Understanding one another's TOP Needs
• How your values bring you together or push you apart
• The importance of understanding what makes you each both TICK

And here I am contemplating selling those appealingly beautiful, comfy chairs!

WHY?

Because we have learned that only YOU can make the smart decisions of good health, balanced finances, and even more important... keeping a well-balanced, caring, loving marriage.

It's about constantly spending time together, laughing together, growing together.  The book "His Needs, Her Needs" says you need 15 hours together every week in order to continue growing your ROMATIC LOVE.  

What we pay attention to... grows.

Is that looking at your phone?

Getting Rich?

Or are you putting your marriage and family first?

Well, for us, we started feeling a little distant, why?  This time it's those old... well known LOVE Languages.  Yep!  Simple as that!  Physical touch.  We're doing lots of activities together but not sitting side by side on the couch together.  Crazy huh!

What are your LOVE Languages?

Here's a podcast with all FIVE.

Yes... I do believe we will sell those beautiful chairs and buy a white cream Loveseat!

 When Couples identify and embrace their differences, they create a safe space to communicate openly, leading to a deeper connection and more enjoyable relationship.
