Wouldn’t it be something—waking up tomorrow and seeing your spouse with the same excitement and admiration you had when you were dating? That feeling you had when you first said “I do” wasn’t accidental. Something real, compelling, and valuable caught your attention—remember what you forgot. Let’s be honest: daily life grinds us down.

3811 Speak Your Child's Language
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Talking to your child like you do your friends or spouse isn’t going to cut it. Kids aren’t little adults—they process, feel, and need communication on completely different levels. If you want them to truly hear and respond, you have to speak your child's language. Parenting isn’t about one-size-fits-all advice. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It’s about tuning in to who your child is and meeting them where they are, head-on, heart-first, and in ways that make sense to them. And all this comes from the parent...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There’s a moment — or maybe many moments — when the weight of everything crashing around you makes quitting feel like the only choice. Life isn’t just busy; it’s chaotic. The lists feel endless, people demand your time, and your energy is running on fumes. Then you wonder: “Is it really worth it? Does any of this actually make a difference?” But storms don't last forever. Because when the storms hit and life spins out of control, what you are doing now — your hustle, your passion project, your business — becomes your secret weapon.

3809 Sweatpants and Self-Control
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There are days when control feels like an illusion, and the sweatpants aren’t just comfort, they’re a retreat. But with fall looming—complete with its cozy vibes, comfort food temptations, and shorter daylight hours—it’s easy to let self-control crash right along with your energy. How do you balance wearing your sweatpants and self-control? Because all too often, one goes hand in hand with the other. If you are feeling like wearing sweatpants, you're usually not strutting your way into the gym. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . ...

3808 Never Give Up!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life hits hard. It doesn’t ask for your permission before throwing curveballs from every direction. The distractions? They pile up, clutter your mind, and drain your focus. Instead of pushing you forward, they pull you back—making the grind feel heavier, the goal farther, and the dream dimmer. Never give up! None of that stuff—the scores on your test, your business’s ups and downs, the wins or stumbles of your family, or those parts of your life that aren’t working—matters as much as you think in the moment.

3807 What Traditions Are You Building In Your Mind?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Your mindset isn’t just a random collection of thoughts. It’s the sum of your past experiences, your values, and the habits you’ve stitched together over time. In essence, it’s where your mental traditions begin. These are the patterns, rituals, and thought loops you come back to—not necessarily because they serve you, but often because they feel comfortable. So what traditions are you building in your mind? And more importantly, are those traditions helping or holding you back? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . We usually...

3806 Take God Home
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
If you’re standing at a crossroads, wondering what’s next in your life, there’s a reality waiting for you that’s both deeply simple and radically life-changing: God isn’t meant to be reserved for Sundays, sermons, or religious rituals. He’s meant for every moment, every decision, every breath you take. It’s time to take God home—to invite Him beyond the sanctuary walls and into the everyday spaces of your life. This idea isn’t new; it’s rooted in a powerful story from the book of Acts. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . ...

3805 Love Requires Intention
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The headline buzz this week—the engagement of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Two high-profile lives weaving their love story amid the noise, judgment, and relentless spotlight. It makes you wonder: Do you have a love so deep, so intentional, that it stands strong no matter the chatter or rumors swirling around, no matter what the world says? Love requires intention. Unconditional love doesn’t look the same for every couple. Some show it in quiet daily acts; others in grand gestures. But what matters most is cultivating a love that’s more alive today than it was yesterday. Desire to be...

3804 Practice Creates Progress
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The seasons shift, schedules twist, and routines morph—sound familiar? As we step into this new chapter, it’s easy for family goals to get lost in the shuffle. But here’s the truth: progress in your family life isn’t a lightning strike. It’s a habit. A practice. Every lesson you repeat, every value you model alongside your children, chips away at the “hard” and builds momentum. Practice creates progress. Because this is where real progress lives. When parents actively engage in learning with their kids—not just as overseers but as participants—they send a clear message:...

3803 Keep Your Feet to the Fire
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life doesn’t hand out a break when you’re juggling everything—the kids demanding your attention, a career that never sleeps, and a spouse who needs your love and partnership. Take one look around and you might call it chaos: a mess in the house, a whirlwind in your head, and exhaustion creeping in like an unwelcome guest. But still keep your feet to the fire. Even in the thick of the storm, your mind and heart can still find a way to line up. You can show up fully—not half-drained, not just surviving, but actually operating with some fire in your belly. Desire to be supported and...
info_outlineIn marriage, it’s all too common to get stuck fixating on faults—the little annoyances, quirks, and hangups that, over time, seem to crowd out the love you once felt. When your eyes are locked on imperfections, your heart has no room left to breathe, let alone deepen in love. So why not see the beauty in front of you?
Because you can't see the beauty. The very quirks you see as flaws are where your heart actually settles down.

At some point, every partnership faces a crossroads. You can choose to keep scanning for what’s missing—or you can decide there’s more to your marriage than your current perspective allows.
This is not about ignoring real problems, but about shifting your mindset from scarcity and critique to openness and appreciation.
Remember: what you look for, you will find. So, why not look for the beauty that’s right in front of you?
Choosing to see the beauty in your spouse is not a passive feeling but an intentional act.
It begins with you, but it takes both of you to carry it forward.
"One to start, two to finish!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
This simple yet powerful decision can unlock new depths in your love, transforming what “is” into what it “can be.”
The K.I.S.S. ~ Transform what is into what can be!
Look at where you are now. How would you deem your marriage to be when it comes to a "love scale?" If you don't acknowledge what is happening, there is no chance to make a change.
Here’s how a spouse can start this shift immediately:
-
Focus on qualities, not quirks. Every person has traits that drew you in—they’re still there. Make a habit of naming those things, silently or out loud. Praise loyalty, humor, kindness, or whatever makes your spouse uniquely them. This rewires your brain away from the habit of criticism.
-
Practice curiosity instead of judgment. When a quirk or habit feels annoying, pause and ask, “What’s behind this?” That mundane habit might be a leftover from stress or a way your spouse feels safe. Understanding is love’s antidote to frustration.
-
Create daily moments of gratitude. This can look like a quick text, a thank-you for a simple act, or a genuine compliment during dinner. The small habit of regularly expressing appreciation becomes the watering can for love to grow.
-
See your spouse’s growth, not just their stasis. People change, but love often freezes us in old narratives. Update your story. Look for evidence of growth and effort—even small steps.
-
Remember the unspoken bond. Your spouse carries burdens, dreams, fears, and intentions beneath the surfaces you see. When you choose to believe in their goodness, you build a foundation where love can deepen beyond words.
This isn’t about ignoring the messy realities of marriage. It’s about flipping the lens from problem spotting to heart seeing. The beauty in front of you is waiting. The only question is: will you choose to see it?
Love grows where eyes rest with intention—and when you start seeing the beauty, you make space for the heart to stay.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
