We in particularly loved the emphasis on being purposeful in letting our spouse know what we love about them and our marriage, as well as how turning TOWARDS our partner in response to one of their “bids” is a precious chance for connection. If you missed the meeting, this is for you!

30 Day Relationship Renewal Challenge
Relationship researcher and therapist John Gottman, has shown that relationships are strengthened when couples engage in 5 positive interactions for every 1 negative interaction. By taking on this challenge you’ll create an awareness about how you interact with your partner. Many of the suggested actions follow Gary Chapman‘s 5 Love Languages, so there is an action to meet the need of every partner! You may also begin interacting with one another in ways you haven’t in months, years or maybe ever. Sounds like a good way to add some spark to the everyday routine!
