A New Year, A New Us - Marriage Talk Podcast 01/01/2024

A New Year, A New Us - Marriage Talk Podcast Welcome to the Marriage Talk Podcast - Ep 162- A New Year, A New Us Embarking on a new year as a couple presents a wonderful opportunity for growth and connection. One impactful way to set the tone for the coming months is by choosing a "word for the year" together. This can be a single word that encapsulates a shared aspiration or focus for your relationship. Whether it's "balance," "communication," or "adventure," selecting a word provides a guiding principle that both partners can rally around. Regularly discussing and reflecting on this word throughout the year can foster a sense of unity and purpose, helping you navigate challenges and celebrate victories as a team. In addition to choosing a word for the year, starting off on a positive note involves spiritual and emotional bonding. Reading a devotional together can be a meaningful and intimate way to strengthen your spiritual connection as a couple. It provides an opportunity for shared reflection, prayer, and a deeper understanding of each other's beliefs. This shared practice can also bring a sense of peace and stability to your relationship, acting as an anchor during life's inevitable storms. Consider selecting a devotional that resonates with both of you, and set aside dedicated time each day or week to engage in this enriching and grounding activity together. To further invest in your relationship, consider attending a marriage retreat as part of your new year strategy. A marriage retreat offers a focused and intentional environment for couples to connect, communicate, and learn valuable skills. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a longer program, these retreats provide a chance to step away from the demands of daily life and prioritize your relationship. Engaging in workshops, discussions, and activities designed to strengthen marriages can rejuvenate your connection and equip you with practical tools for navigating the complexities of married life. Additionally, seeking the guidance of a marriage coach can be a transformative step. Signing up for marriage coaching allows you to work with a trained professional who can offer personalized insights, communication strategies, and guidance tailored to your unique relationship dynamics. This proactive approach demonstrates a commitment to ongoing growth and ensures that you and your partner have the support needed to navigate the journey of marriage successfully. ------------ the Marriage Talk Podcast on our YouTube Channel for more information on the ministry and marriage events hosted by Jay and Laura Laffoon for more information on Bill Hobson and the Hobson Media Podcast Network Have a question, comment, suggestion for Marriage Talk?
