3959 Present But Distant
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage isn’t just the big moments: the wedding day, anniversaries, or vacations. A huge part of it happens in the "in-between": the daily grind, the shuffle of family life, the countless errands, work schedules, and responsibilities that fill every corner of your time. In this chaos, it's easy and dangerously common for spouses to drift apart without even noticing. You’re both so busy serving the kids, managing the household, or chasing careers that choosing to connect as a couple takes a backseat. You become like two ships passing in the day and night, present but distant. Your marriage...

3958 Make Your Last Word Good
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Parenting is a relentless hustle. Sleepless nights blur into days of heartache, frustration, and moments when it feels like your efforts go unnoticed. In the chaos of discipline, schedules, and tears, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that you are the constant in your child’s world—their anchor and their guide. The truth is, what you say last in any interaction leaves a lasting imprint. That’s why it’s crucial: make your last word good. What does that mean? It means shifting focus from reaction to reflection. It means choosing the lasting message you want your child to take...

3957 Dig A Little Deeper
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life doesn’t wait for you to be ready. It hits hard, fast, and often without warning. When the storms roll in, they can scar your days and steal the peace from your nights. It’s raw. It’s real. And frankly, it’s not fun. Life has never been easy for anyone who’s ever done more than just exist. If you want to stand tall—if you want to break past the pain—you have to dig a little deeper. Digging deeper means rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands and heart a little dirty, diving headfirst into the mess that life throws your way. Desire to be supported and encouraged by...

3956 Why Does Everything Healthy Taste So Bad?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Healthy living rarely feels easy. We say we want to be healthier, but when faced with salads that seem like lawn clippings or bland steamed veggies, we ask ourselves: Why does everything healthy taste so bad? The frustration isn’t just about flavor; it’s a symptom of a deeper battle between what our bodies crave and what our minds resist. Your taste buds and your body are often on two different pages, and that disconnect trips up even the most committed. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3955 Put Down Your Mask
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
It’s easy to hide behind a mask — the carefully crafted image of who you think you should be or what you don’t want anyone to see. Behind this disguise, you might feel safer, less vulnerable. But you cannot move forward or live the life you were meant to live with God’s divine purpose in mind if you’re trapped behind that mask. So, put down your mask. Please put down your mask.

3954 How Do You Shift In Real Time?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life isn’t a straight path. It’s a wild mix of flavors, textures, highs, lows, wins, and setbacks. You grind to reach certain milestones, but just when you think you’ve arrived, reality reminds you there’s more hustle, more growth, more shifting to do. So how do you shift in real time when life throws you curveballs? Are you the kind of person who acts like you’ve already done the hard work—like you’ve ticked the box—only to wash your hands of responsibility? Then you lean back, waiting for the next step to come to you. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded...

3953 No More Words
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Have you ever paused to consider how God truly wants you to show up each day? It’s easy to walk into church on Sunday with a smile and a heart full of joy—or at least a glimpse of it. But ask yourself: how genuine is that moment? Is it real and life-giving? Or is it just a performance, a mask worn for the crowd, for appearances? God doesn’t need the mask. He sees behind it. He knows the truth that we often try to hide, even from ourselves. No more words. Jesus said it plainly in Matthew 5, in the Beatitudes—a blueprint for living “God’s way.” It’s a call to something deeper...

3952 Are You Chasing the Wrong Part of the Heart?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage. A word that conjures images of bliss, partnership, and forever—but also confusion, frustration, and unexpected challenges. When two people say, “I do,” it isn’t just a promise to love; it’s an entry into a complicated dance of needs, expectations, and realities. And somewhere along the way, you might find yourself wondering: Are you chasing the wrong part of the heart? Let’s be real—too many people step into marriage thinking it’s all about them. They want their partner’s role to serve their needs, validate their feelings, and eliminate inconveniences. Desire to be...

3951 Prepare the Way
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When your children are little, parenting feels all-consuming. Overwhelm doesn't even seem like a fitting word, yet you’re hands-on from feeding to teaching to fixing. Every day is full of immediate needs, constant crisis management, and unconditional love sprinkled throughout. It’s easy to believe that how you prepare the way means just getting them through those early years. But then, they grow. They move into adolescence, young adulthood, and beyond—and suddenly the kind of parenting required shifts. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the...

3950 Choose What You Carry Forward
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
So much in life is left in the trenches of what we lost or what didn't make it. Success can leave scars as much as failures. But the sting is always greater when something does not go your way. Yet, that's not how your story gets to end. There is joy in the morning, and you get to choose what you carry forward. That choice isn’t because of how much you know or the wit you’ve picked up along the way—though those add richness to your journey. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

info_outlineIt’s easy to get super focused on other things in life, from the home to the family to the career to even the pets. Amid all this noise, the one person you vowed to stand beside can sometimes fade into the background. But if you want a marriage that lasts, one that can withstand the relentless pressures of life, there’s a simple but powerful rule: don’t root against your spouse.
The truth is, it’s dadgum hard to keep your spouse front and center when every other part of your life is screaming louder.

Work deadlines pile up, the kids have endless needs, bills demand attention, and somewhere in there, you’re expected to keep your own sanity intact.
The constant barrage of responsibilities can drown out your best intentions, making it feel impossible to carve out space for your partner.
But that’s exactly why rooting for your spouse isn’t optional—it’s vital.
"When life yanks your focus in every direction but one, deliberately choosing your spouse as your priority is what separates a floundering marriage from an incredible one." ~ Kristianne Wargo
What does rooting for your spouse mean?
It means being the biggest cheerleader in the room, the most devoted lover in the house, and the unapologetic truth-teller when your partner needs honesty the most—all to honor the person who said “I do” alongside you.
Is this even possible? Can two people build a marriage that not only survives but thrives through the ups and downs, the changes, and the curveballs life throws?
I’m here to tell you, absolutely YES!
But—and this is a big BUT—you have to want it desperately enough to put in the work.
So you've got to root for your spouse daily.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Root for your spouse daily!
Rooting for your spouse is a daily choice, a commitment to your union.
What have you been doing lately?
What did the holidays look like?
Here are three crucial ways to make sure you’re on the rooting team instead of opposing it.
-
Show Up as Their Loudest Cheerleader
Supporting your spouse means genuinely celebrating their wins—big or small. Whether it’s a promotion, a personal goal, or even just getting through a tough day, be the person who amplifies their pride, not sows doubt. A marriage thrives when both partners feel seen and backed up like a champion in their corner. -
Speak Love and Truth with Equal Passion
Being devoted isn’t about blind agreement. Sometimes rooting for your spouse requires the courage to hold a mirror to what’s not working, delivered with kindness and respect. Honesty in love means having tough conversations that lead to growth, not division. Commit to both uplifting and challenging each other for the sake of your shared future. -
Prioritize Them When Everything Else Competes for Attention
Life’s demands are real; time and energy get drained fast. But nobody else should ever come before your spouse—not your career, your hobbies, or even your kids. Rooting for your partner means showing up consistently and making them a priority, even when it’s inconvenient. That steady devotion is what builds trust and resilience.
Rooting against your spouse is like rooting against your own team. It’s a slow bleed that eventually fractures what could have been unbreakable.
But rooting for them?
That fuels a marriage that can endure storms, embrace changes, and come out stronger on the other side.
You can have that marriage. It’s within reach. But it demands a fierce choice every day: to stand with your spouse, not against them.
Are you ready to be the spouse who roots loud and proud? The one who builds a living legacy, not just a life?
Because if you are, the marriage you dreamed of isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
