Episode 279 // Our relationships have a LOT to do with the attitude of our hearts. With healthy, intimate, connected relationships, we grumble less. It’s easier to be thankful, to notice the positive, to feel better.

But… how do we get there?

Today, I want to dive into the topic of marriage (and friendship too) and help us see how leaning in and being vulnerable can have a big impact on our gratitude and grumbling.

We’ll talk about WHY this is so valuable, 7 tips for strengthening this connection in your marriage, and some helpful encouragement for what to do if or when you feel uncomfortable or unable to be vulnerable in your marriage this way.

Marriage is wildly important to God, and wildly important to our own mental health, heart attitude, and emotional wellness. So let’s figure out how to make it as strong and wonderful as possible. Let’s dive in, friends.

Welcome to Part 6 of our series on Gratitude Over Grumbling.

hugs & blessings,

Jess
