Ep 125: Year End Reset: A Ritual for Closing 2025 & Reconnecting for the New Year

In this special end-of-year episode of Married and Connected, Kameran guides you through a "Holiday Reset Ritual."

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The 2025 State of Marriage: A look at the top Google searches for couples this year (hint: it wasn’t about money, it was about emotional safety).
• The "Three-Layer Gratitude" Practice: Why saying "thanks for doing the dishes" isn't enough, and how to use gratitude to reset your nervous system.
• Lessons from the Experts: The top relationship insights from 2025 featuring wisdom from The Gottman Institute, Esther Perel, Matthew Hussey, Marriage 365 and more.
• Wounds vs. Patterns: How to recognize if you are acting out of an anxious or avoidant attachment style, and how to heal it next year.
• The "Name It to Tame It" Ritual: A step-by-step guided conversation to have with your partner tonight to close the chapter on the hard stuff and seal your intentions for 2026.

Key Quotes:

• "Every couple wants to feel like they are on the same team. Not roommates. Not co-parents. But a safe place to land."
• "Gratitude isn't just manners; it is a biological reset button for your relationship."
• "You don’t drift into a great marriage. You decide your way there."

Resources Mentioned:

• The Gottman Institute (Micro-moments of connection)
• Esther Perel (Erotic Intelligence and Attention)
• Topics: Attachment Styles, The Mother/Father Wound, Mental Load

Option 2: For Wives (Edifying Eden Group) Starts January 5th | Limited to 10 Women

If you are walking into the new year feeling the heavy weight of resentment, or if you are tired of the cycle of yelling to be heard only to feel guilty five minutes later—this is your invitation.

Edifying Eden is my exclusive small group for the wife who is ready to turn her home back into a sanctuary. Together, we will:

• Ditch the Resentment: Clear out the bitterness that keeps you disconnected.
• Stop the Yelling: Learn to regulate your emotions so you can respond, not react.
• Be Heard: Learn to speak so your family listens the first time.
• Biblical Womanhood: Step fully into the grace and wisdom of the Proverbs 31 wife.

We begin January 5th. Because this is a high-touch sisterhood, I am only accepting 10 women. Email Kameran at coaching@recognizingpotential.com for more info.
