Safe and Secure
When two people feel safe and secure, they relax and open their hearts, and then, friendship, passion, fun, intimacy, and connection happen effortlessly. Therefore, an important goal is to build a marriage that feels like the safest and most secure place on earth.
Power of Healthy Conflict
Your marriage needs conflict! Conflict helps couples learn about themselves as individuals and about their marriage relationship. Thus, the key isn’t to eliminate conflict but to learn how to better manage differences through “healthy” conflict.
The Care Cycle
God’s greatest commandment says we are to love Him and others “as” we love ourselves.
However, many Christians have rewritten this verse to read: Love God and others “instead” of ourselves. We can’t fulfill our purpose to love God and others from a place of emptiness and exhaustion. It’s our job to take great care of ourselves spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically.
The word “intimate” comes from two Latin words meaning “innermost” and “to make known.” Intimacy, therefore, is when we make known our innermost being, and we are completely “seen” without judgment or fear (naked and unafraid).
Heart Talk
In a marriage, you are on the same team. Thus, you either “win” together or “lose” together. There is no such thing as a “win-lose” solution because you’re on the same team.
