Description

How often do we find ourselves waiting for motivation to magically appear, especially in our closest relationships? 

I've been there too, more times than I'd like to admit. But here's the hard truth I've learned: motivation isn't a reliable spark; it's something we create.

In this deeply personal episode, I'm getting raw and honest about the reality of motivation in marriage. I'm sharing behind-the-scenes moments from my own journey with Jessica, the times I let motivation slip, and the small, intentional actions that helped me rebuild connection and intimacy. It's not about grand gestures; it's about showing up even when you don't "feel" like it.

In this episode, I'll explore:

• Why relying on "feeling" motivated is a recipe for disconnection in your marriage.
• The insidious ways that distance can quietly creep into even the strongest relationships.
• The power of small, consistent acts of love to reignite intimacy and connection.
• Practical strategies to prioritize your spouse, even when life feels overwhelming.
• How to break the cycle of waiting for motivation and start leading with action.

Here's what research supports about the power of action and intention:

• Studies show that couples who engage in regular, small acts of kindness report a 28% increase in relationship satisfaction.
• Research indicates that setting specific, shared goals increases the likelihood of improved communication and intimacy by 35%.
• Prioritizing quality time has been shown to reduce feelings of loneliness in relationships by 20%.

If you're ready to stop waiting for motivation and start actively building a stronger, more connected marriage, this episode is for you. Let's take that first step together.
