When we fall in love and choose to spend our life with someone, we might picture a beautiful vision of what we want our relationship to look like…
…relaxed, romantic meals together, the exchange of sweet gestures and affection, supportive encouragement, and genuine heart-to-heart connection.
All that sounds amazing, doesn't it?
But we also know how easy it is for the busyness and business of life to take over. We might feel overwhelmed and discouraged as our connection with each other seems to fade.
For a long time, Mike and I thought we were prioritizing each other. But all the stressful realities of blended family life quickly wedged their way between us. As a result, we endured a painful season of feeling disconnected and alone.
The good news is we didn't stay stuck there — and you don't have to either.
In this episode, our special guest Jennifer Zumbiel will share an easy way to safeguard your relationship and create genuine engagement and meaningful connection.
Jennifer's resource is not only practical but it's fun too! She developed it because she and her hubby needed something to help them stay connected!
As Valentine's Day approaches, how can you make your relationship a priority by going above and beyond the usual?
Discover something new and creative to intentionally make a heart-to-heart connection with your sweetheart on February 14th AND beyond!
