4190 Falling In Love All Over Again
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There is something about the turn of a season that invites us to look at our lives with fresh eyes. The leaves begin to shift, the air cools just enough to remind us that change is not only natural; it's necessary. And if we are honest with ourselves, sometimes the most important thing that needs a fresh look is not our wardrobe or our schedule. It is our marriage. So what if during this beautiful new season, you commit to falling in love all over again. Now, before you close this page and say, "Kristianne, my marriage is fine," let me stop you right there. This is not about fixing...

4189 Find Your Calm in the Chaos of Parenting
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every parent knows that moment when the house is loud, the demands are relentless, someone is crying, and you're not entirely sure it isn't you. Parenting was never meant to be quiet or perfectly composed, but somewhere between the sippy cups and the slammed doors, you can find your calm in the chaos of parenting. Not a calm that pretends everything is fine, but a calm that holds steady because it's rooted in something deeper than the moment. Raising kids takes every ounce of dedication and determination you have. It pulls from reserves you didn't know existed and asks you to pour out again...

4188 Unpack the Old
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There is something about this time of year that stirs up a sense of possibility. The air shifts, routines reset, and whether you have children heading back to school or not, fall carries with it a quiet invitation to begin again. But you cannot step into something new if your arms are full of everything old; unpack the old and leave it behind. Think about the last time you traveled with too many bags. Every doorway became an obstacle. Every step felt heavier than it needed to. You spent more energy managing your luggage than enjoying the journey. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

4187 Love the In-Between
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Have you ever paused in front of a mirror and thought, almost? Almost healed. Almost confident. Almost the woman you know you're meant to be — but not quite there yet. That pause, that space between where you were and where you're going, can feel like the loneliest place in the world. But what if that's actually one of the most sacred places where you need to love the in-between? Because most of us have been taught — by the world, by our own expectations, sometimes even by voices inside the church or community or your job or your family — that we earn the right to love who we see only...

4186 Lead with Your Gifts
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There is something inside of you that the world needs. Not the version of you that has been shaped and polished by degrees, training programs, and years of professional experience — though those things matter. But it runs deeper. Before you ever sat in a classroom or clocked into your first job, God planted something in you that was never meant to collect dust; lead with your gifts. Too many of us have spent years building lives around what we've learned while quietly setting aside what we've been given. We show up to work with our skill sets. We volunteer with our expertise. We check the...

4185 And That's A Wrap!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
You cross the finish line. You hit the milestone. You reach that thing you've been praying over, grinding toward, and believing God for — and you exhale. And that's a wrap. Or is it? When you accomplish a goal or finally touch a long-held dream, do you stop? Do you sit down, dust off your hands, and call it done? Or does something inside you whisper, "There's more?" It's very interesting how we see life. The moments can feel like a year, when it might have been only a day. But nothing worth having comes in a moment.

4184 Come and See
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There are seasons in life when the darkness feels closer than it should. When the weight of what you're walking through presses in from every side and you start to wonder if the light you once felt so sure of is still there. Maybe it's grief. Maybe it's uncertainty. Maybe it's a weariness that has settled so deeply into your bones that you can't remember what rest feels like. Wherever you are right now, whatever shadow has crept into the edges of your story, do something simple and holy — come and see. Come and see that the light has not gone out. Desire to be supported and encouraged by...

4183 Don't Let the Calendar Replace the Connection
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
You married your best friend. You chose each other. And somewhere along the way, the life you're building together started pulling you apart — not because the love faded, but because everything else got louder. You're not fighting. You're not even frustrated with each other most days. You're just missing each other; sitting in the same house but living in different rhythms. And that quiet distance? It didn't happen because of one bad day. It happened one full week at a time. So when life crowds in on your marriage, don't let the calendar replace the connection. However, the biggest threat to...

4182 Listening Is Love
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
It's not that unheard of to want to explain everything to your children. We carry decades of life behind us, and we think if we can just say the right thing at the right time, we can spare them the pain. But regardless of their age and stage of life, what they need is your presence. Not your lecture. Not your five-point plan. Your presence; listening is love. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to be the problem-solver every single time. What they need from you is ears to hear. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . ...

4181 The Heat Is On
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There are moments in life when everything feels like it's pressing in — the deadlines, the demands, the weight of expectations, and the relentless pace that never seems to slow down. And right in the middle of all of it, you realize something: the heat is on. Not just the kind that comes from outside pressure, but the kind that rises from within, the fire that tells you it's time to move, to grow, to step into the fullness of who you are and who you are created to be. No matter what happens in your day, at some point you have to be willing to go the extra mile, play full out, and do whatever...

#RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage
Because here is the truth that nobody tells you at the altar: love is not a feeling you fall into once and ride for the rest of your life. Love is a decision you make every single morning when your feet hit the floor. It is a daily yes. A repeated choosing. And some of us have gotten so busy choosing everything else — the career, the kids, the ministry, the groceries — that we have forgotten to choose each other.
Think about it. When was the last time you looked at your spouse — really looked — and remembered why you said yes? Not the version of them that leaves dishes in the sink or forgets to take out the trash. The one who made your heart race. The one who made you laugh until your stomach hurt. The one God handpicked for you. That person is still there. And so is that love. It just needs some tending.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."
This is your season. Right here. Right now. This fall, we are not just watching the leaves change. We are letting God change us — as wives, as partners, as the women who stand beside the men He gave us. Over the next sixteen Saturdays, we are going to walk through this season together, and by the time we ring in the new year, we will not just be surviving our marriages. We will be celebrating them.
I heard someone say once, "A great marriage is not when the perfect couple comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences." That is what this journey is about. Not perfection. Not pretending. Just presence. Just purpose. Just two imperfect people deciding that their love story is worth investing in — again.
So wherever you are today — whether your marriage is thriving, surviving, or somewhere in between — you belong here. Pull up a chair. Grab your coffee. And let's begin.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Fall into love on purpose!
What are you currently doing in your marriage now? Are you making your marriage a priority? Are you making your spouse a priority?
1. Set Your Season with a Conversation.
Before this week ends, sit down with your spouse and tell them what you are doing. Say it plainly: "I want to spend this fall being more intentional about us." You do not need a speech. You do not need a plan. You just need to open the door. Let them know they are your priority — not because something is wrong, but because they are worth it.
2. Write Down Three Things You Love About Your Spouse — Right Now.
Not three things you loved ten years ago. Three things that are true today. Maybe it is the way they handle stress with patience. Maybe it is how they show up for the kids without being asked. Maybe it is that they still make you laugh. Write them down. Put the list somewhere you will see it this week. Let gratitude be the first seed you plant in this season.
3. Pray a Simple Prayer Over Your Marriage Every Day This Week.
It does not need to be long. It does not need to be eloquent. Just honest. Try this: "Lord, thank You for my marriage. Open my eyes to see my spouse the way You see them. Give me a heart that chooses love — today and every day. Amen." Seven days. One prayer. Watch what God begins to stir.
One step at a time leads to miles of greatness. And that is exactly what we are doing here — one Saturday at a time, one conversation at a time, one prayer at a time. This is not a race. It is a walk. A slow, beautiful, hand-in-hand walk back to each other.
I will meet you right here next Saturday. Until then, love well. Love on purpose. And remember — every great love story has chapters. This is the beginning of a brand new one.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
