I have a special treat this Valentine's Day week, a conversation about love with my husband Jeff, AND a bonus! After our conversation we will be talking about Valentine's Day and sharing some pretty awesome ideas of how to make it special.

Are you ready to celebrate love this week with your spouse? As Valentine's Day approaches, I find myself reflecting on the evolving nature of our celebrations over the years. From creatively elaborate gestures to simpler yet meaningful moments, the essence of love remains at the core.

In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage podcast, Ep 157: "Intimate & Honest Conversations with my Husband: Love & Valentine's Day," we delve into the essence of love within the context of marriage and Valentine's Day celebrations.

Here are some highlights from the episode:

• Exploring the concept of love in marriage: Often, we profess love to our spouses, yet we may not fully understand what love truly means within the context of our relationships.
• Reflecting on past perceptions of love: Jeff and I share our perspectives on what we thought love should look like in marriage and how those perceptions have evolved over time.
• Drawing inspiration from 1 Corinthians 13: We discuss the biblical perspective on love and how it translates into practical actions within our marriage.
• Advice for couples: For those who feel disconnected or have stopped expressing love to each other, we offer practical advice and insights to reignite the flame of intimacy.
  
  As Valentine's Day approaches, I encourage you to engage in heartfelt conversations with your spouse about what love means to both of you. Whether it's a simple gesture or an elaborate expression, let your actions be a reflection of the love you share.
  
  To husbands: Consider the unique desires and preferences of your wives, and make intentional efforts to celebrate them in ways that resonate with their hearts.
  
  To wives: Communicate your desires openly and embrace the love and thoughtfulness your husbands extend to you, even in the simplest gestures.
  
  Remember, love is not merely a sentiment but an action that fosters deeper connection and intimacy within your marriage.
  
  Wishing you and your spouse a Valentine's Day filled with love, joy, and meaningful connection.

We're diving deep into nurturing intimacy in our marriages, and we're now on week 4 of our enlightening series. As we journey together, I've been moved by the responses I've received, particularly about the longing for intimacy in relationships. It's a shared desire: connection, belonging, and intimacy. However, nurturing intimacy starts by looking within ourselves, especially when distance creeps in between partners.

In this week's episode, we're exploring the profound connection between compassion and empathy, drawing from Brene Brown's Atlas of the Heart. Brown beautifully articulates how compassion is a daily practice, while empathy is a powerful tool within compassion. She highlights the significance of cognitive empathy in fostering meaningful connections, allowing us to understand and reflect on another person's emotions.

We'll delve into Theresa Wiseman's research on empathy, exploring the four attributes she assigned to empathy and incorporating a fifth attribute from Kristin Neff's work on self-compassion. From perspective-taking to practicing mindfulness, we'll uncover the essential elements of empathetic connection.

To bring these concepts to life, I'll share a vulnerable experience from my own life, offering insights into how empathy can transform conflicts into opportunities for deeper understanding and connection.

As we explore empathy, I invite you to pay attention to the riffs that arise in your relationships and embrace curiosity as a pathway to understanding. And if you find yourself grappling with empathy or facing challenges in your relationship, consider booking a Courageous Love Conversation with me. Together, we'll navigate through the complexities and discover actionable steps towards a more connected and fulfilling relationship.

Remember, struggles are not setbacks but opportunities for growth and deeper connection. Let's commit to taking steps forward, hand in hand, towards the intimacy we desire.

Tune in to Episode 155: Hearts Unveiled Pt 4: Nurturing Marital Intimacy with Empathy, and let's continue this transformative journey together.

With warmth and encouragement,
Christine

As we dive into AwakenYou in Your Marriage episode 153: Nurturing Marital Intimacy through Vulnerability, I'm thrilled to share a piece of my personal journey with you. This year is all about vulnerability (my word of the year), and I'm excited to be on this open, honest, and transformative ride with each of you.

On a creative note, my book project is back in full swing. I've recommitted to transcribing, refining, and shaping its artistic foundation. It's a passionate endeavor, and though the final outcome is uncertain, the process itself is a beautiful journey of self-discovery.

Now, let's talk about vulnerability in marriage. In this episode, we'll explore what vulnerability is and why it's crucial for our relationships. Drawing insights from Brene Brown, we'll discuss emotional exposure, uncertainty, and risk.

We'll delve into the barriers that keep us from being vulnerable and how to lay the foundation in your marriage for openness. I'll share tips on noticing and warmly receiving your spouse's vulnerability, fostering a safe space for intimacy to thrive.

Remember, vulnerable shares start small as you strengthen your relationship with yourself. Recognize your spouse's responses and understand that your ability to expose yourself emotionally helps facilitate their vulnerability.

Building a safe place for each other is key. By practicing active listening, stepping into your spouse's shoes, maintaining confidentiality, and checking in with your own feelings, you create an environment where vulnerability can flourish.

As I've moved through these steps personally, I've witnessed profound changes in my relationship. Building self-confidence enhances my connection with myself and strengthens my openness to share, regardless of others' reactions.

If you're longing for deeper connection and intimacy in your relationship, know it's possible to re-connect. Join me for a Courageous Love Conversation, where we can explore your struggles, fears, and doubts and discuss the process of creating something extraordinary.

Here's to vulnerability, intimacy, and the transformative power of love.

XOX,
Christine

I wanted to share something truly special with you – the latest episode of the "AwakenYou in Your Marriage" podcast is out, and it's a deep dive into the theme of growth and transformation.

We start off with a light-hearted reflection on our own experiences, setting the tone for an episode filled with warmth, humor, and insightful discussions.

They revisit a compelling Q&A session from a Re Engag gathering, focusing on pressing questions that resonate with many married couples. A significant part of the conversation revolves around the intricacies of nurturing intimacy in marriage, especially when balancing the demands of parenting. They introduce the concept of 'parent office hours,' a practical approach to carving out precious time for each other amidst the busy rhythms of family life.

Diving into the theme of trust and transparency, James and Lisa discuss the delicate balance of managing personal devices and friendships within a marriage. Emphasizing voluntary transparency over control, we share our thoughts on building a foundation of trust and openness in a relationship.

Addressing the often-misunderstood dynamics of parenting, they challenge the notion that children are a distraction to marriage. Instead, they explore how children can actually enrich the marital bond. We offer strategies for handling different stages of child development, emphasizing the impact on marital health and unity.

The conversation also covers the sensitive topic of setting boundaries with extended family and in-laws. James and Lisa stress the importance of prioritizing the marital relationship while maintaining respectful and healthy relationships with extended family members.

Lastly, they touch upon the importance of spiritual guidance in making major life decisions. James and Lisa highlight the need for unity and collaboration within marriage, especially when faced with significant choices.

Apathy is a word meaning "lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern."  Spiritually-speaking, it is a dangerous road to go down.  There may be seasons in which we feel a pull towards apathy in our lives.  Left unchecked, we can succumb to a number of things.  But if we recognize those seasons, what are some ways we can be spurred on to grow in Christ?  Today's episode outlines some ideas and practical steps that can help us avoid or pull out of apathy.  The bottom line is also addressed:  apathy stems from a place of loneliness and that loneliness is birthed in a lack of intimacy.  So if we are apathetic, it follows that our intimacy with the Lord is not where it should be.
