Ep 52 - Happy!

Welcome to Episode 52 of the Operation: Thriving Marriage Podcast, "Happy!" While we often say marriage isn't about happiness, we delve into why it's crucial to prioritize happiness correctly. Unhappiness can lead to dissatisfaction, conflicts, and decreased problem-solving abilities in a marriage.

We discuss the problem of declining happiness in the US and worldwide, emphasizing the importance of happiness for making better decisions, resilience, health, and more.

Our solution focuses on improving your happiness by taking responsibility for it. We introduce the CPR method – Connection, Positivity, and Resilience. We stress the role of human connections, positivity in savoring enjoyable experiences, and self-care for resilience.

In the end, we reiterate that marriage is about holiness, but happiness matters too. You are responsible for your happiness, and by focusing on CPR, you can improve it. For more information, check out the articles linked below.
