It’s that time of year when we can get very wrapped up in all the “goings-on” and lose track of who we are.  Now is the time to take stock of your marriage and make the changes necessary to make sure that you are coming home.

Remember back to your wedding day. We’re not talking about just the ceremony and reception. We want you to remember how you felt. Your marriage was going to last forever. You were sure of that. And then…reality set in. You think you can deal with it, and maybe you can – for a while. You still love your spouse, but it’s just not the same. Is it just a part of life? Do you let that fire die into just a smoldering pile of ashes? You don’t have to!

Are you paying attention to the warning signs in your marriage? This past weekend we attended the Church at Rancho Bernardo’s annual marriage retreat. This is the third year that we’ve attended and each year we learn something new about our marriage.

One of the first questions that was asked of the group was: What is one thing you wish you could change about your marriage? The top 3 answers:

  • I wish we spent more time together.
  • I wish we had better communication
  • I wish we had better intimacy

So, are you aware of the alarms sounding in your own marriage?  Is it time to sit down and talk about these issues or others that could be signs of a bigger problem?  Don”t wait!  Things could be a lot worse than you know.

When we take our vows we don’t necessarily think about the bad stuff that might happen, especially sickness.  The thing is that eventually you or your spouse will become sick. How do you handle life when sickness does happen?

This week we were hit from a few different sides.  Both of our dads had some health problems come up and Tony got sick as well.  The strain that health issues put on our marriage is real.  Making intimacy a priority during sickness & health issues is what we discuss in this episode.   We talk about how we to deal with health problems and what’s changed since we made intimacy a priority.

Sometimes people don’t want to talk about what’s right under their noses in their marriages and so of course that makes it the right topic for us to talk about here.  We talked about pornography before from a personal standpoint, in this episode we branch out a bit and talk about the impact it is having in the lives of our listeners, their spouses and their families.  It’s time to take a stand and recognize that until people are honest and open about this issue it’s going to remain a “little, dark secret”.

Are you ready?

Emotional distance can seem impossible  to overcome, we’ve stopped talking or if we are talking it just about the surface stuff.  It just seems easier to avoid the conversations than to face the challenges that come with him.   It’s time to mend those broken hearts, to have the courage to talk about those things that you’ve been avoiding.

We’ve heard that life is like a “box of chocolates” but after watching kids play soccer tonight I think I might have to change it to marriage is like a soccer game.   It’s interesting to see how much of what we learn and experience as children really does play out later in life.

Watching kids figure out how to play to their natural strengths and how to work together as a team reminds us all that these are necessary skills that we use every day in our marriages.  When we focus on the common goal and put our energies into achieving that we can work wonders in our marriages.

Are you playing on the same team?
