Love You More Marriage Podcast: Recent Episodes
Angelo & Valerie
A throwback show where we talked about fixing our flaws before we try to "fix" our spouse
Our 100th episode we finally made it as we look at 2 of our favorite topics and tell you what's next for the show i think you will enjoy
You need to take time out of your day to remind your spouse that you love them and are thinking of them.
With all this time being together during the pandemic are you choosing to stay in the negative or in the positive. Remember why you fell in love and what you love about your spouse and focus and build on those things rather than tear them down with the things you don't necessarily like about them.
We can always blame those around us including our spouse as the reason we are not happy or have a bad attitude but the truth is we control our happiness and our attitudes.
Its our 25th wedding anniversary and in these times you have to make the most of the situations and enjoy the small things you get to do together.
Its easy when you are compatible with your spouse but the real work is how you two deal with your incompatibilities.
If your focus isalways how hard marriage can be then guess what, it probably will be. So change you're focus and perspective its easier than you think.
You can choose to let this time make you feel trapped and just try to get through it or you can take this opportunity to strengthen all your relaionships
In times like these it is more important than ever to support each other and lift each other up in not just our marriage but in all aspects of life.
our words can uplift, tear down, bring on trust, or build distrust the choice is ours. So pick and choose your words carefully and also follow through with promises to build trust in our marriages
it’s one thing to say I’m sorry and I will change things that have hurt your marriage but it’s another thing to actually change that behavior, you can do it.
in this episode we put honoring your spouse in three categories
1.Time-putting the time into them not just when its expected
-
Affection- not just in the bedroom
-
Effort- putting effort into them not only when you want something in return
Wives show your husbands respect and husbands listen to your wife and don't just hear them.
Its easy to think we know all we have to about our spouse but the fact is we are ever changing as a person and we should never stop trying to learn and getting to know them.
Recognize your spouse's great qualities and let them know you see them and uplift them. Also take those qualities you like and learn from each other and apply them to yourself.
One word and it sounds easy but forgiveness can be one of the hardest things we do in a marriage, and when done fully can help you and your marriage grow significantly.
It's difficult at times to see things not how we would be from our spouses perspective, but when you do it can really help you get past difficult situations that have been hindering your marriage or relationship for years.
Quit trying to make your spouse conform to who you think they should be and accept them for who they are, the one you fell in love with.
We all bring in family drama and baggage to a relationship so its up to you to recognize it and try to change it so it isn't a hinderance in your marriage.
