Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage isnāt about becoming one person. Itās about two whole individuals choosing to grow together in a way that creates something far stronger than the sum of its parts. But the reality?

That's the heartbeat of a powerhouse marriage. Consider Dan and Joanne Miller. Dan Miller, the New York Times Best-Selling author who passed two years ago, left a...

3939 Man Shall Not Live on Bread Alone
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In one of the most powerful moments of Jesusā life, when He was tested in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-4), He faced raw human hunger. The devil tempted Him with a straightforward challenge: āTurn these stones into bread.ā After all, Jesus is hungry after fasting for forty days and forty nights. The need was real, the desire immediate. Yet Jesus' response cuts deeper than physical need: āIt is written: āMan shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.āā That reply is not just about hunger or sustenance. Itās a declaration about the source of...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too many parents today are caught chasing the mirage of ābeing friendsā with their kids ā seeking approval and camaraderie instead of stepping fully into their role as parents.

3936 Live Fully Alive
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Oftentimes, we push ourselves at breakneck speedāracing to check boxes, chasing the next big win, believing that if we just move faster, work harder, and try more, success will finally land in our lap. But as John De Paola said, āSlow down, and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you.ā In a world obsessed with hustle, this is not a call for complacency.

Too many of us tie ourselves to the chains of past failures, letting every missed shot dictate...

Unaddressed traumas, unresolved conflicts, and buried emotions can morph into a looming Mount Everest.
As Kristianne Wargo wisely puts it, "The trash of your past needs to be taken out or it becomes an overwhelming mountain of C.R.A.P. It stinks, it smells, it shackles the heart."
In order to break free from the chains of the past and pave the way for a thriving marriage, it is imperative to confront the buried burdens head-on.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Confront the buried burdens head-on!
If you choose to hide from the past, it will haunt you down and destroy your marriage.
Put on your big girl panties! I know you have the courage to face your past. I understand it won't be easy and you might even uncover some things you didn't think was a big deal.
But the key is to know and understand to the best of your ability, so you can move forward with confidence that your past is simply that-- your past!
Here are three actionable steps that spouses can take to navigate the complexities of their past and cultivate a healthier present for their marriage:
1. Acknowledge and Accept the Past
Self-awareness serves as the first step towards healing. Recognize the impact of past traumas, generational patterns, and unresolved conflicts on your present behavior and relationships. You can't heal what you don't acknowledge. Stop using the excuse of not knowing, and learn what has been holding you back in your past. By confronting those shadows with honesty and vulnerability, you make a way to reach the freedom to love deeper.
2. Break the Old Patterns
A lot of what we carry with us comes from our past experiences, which are fueled by generational patterns. Our parents and grandparents and everyone in between have an influence on how we lead our lives. However, there comes a point in life where we have to look at what is good for us as an individual and then as a couple. By breaking free from the cycle of generational sins, you create space for personal growth and relational harmony.
Author Haruki Murakami, "If you can't understand it without an explanation, you can't understand it with an explanation." In other words, just because it made sense in the past doesn't mean it is right for you in the present.
3. Forgive to Let Go
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself first. When you forgive, you are giving away what is burying your heart deep in the dungeon of despair. And then, it's that forgiveness that sweeps away the dust bunnies in the nooks and crannies that steals away your courage to heal from the hurts. You can heal, but you have to forgive to let go!
As Kristianne Wargo aptly states, "At some point, you have to face your past so you can be present today."
CHALLENGE: How have you dealt with your past? Or have you?
By embarking on this journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and growth, spouses can unravel the shackles of the past and forge a path toward a more resilient and genuine marriage.
In the timeless words of Maya Angelou, "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
Some things need not be repeated; they must be left in the past and dealt with. Stop the madness in your marriage!
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
