Even when your steps are out of sync, moving in the same direction makes all the difference. In this gentle reflection on love, faith, and finding your rhythm in marriage, I share what a step count revealed about walking together — and why it matters more than you think.
Remember those dating days when Romance was thick in the air? How long has it been since you actively showered romance on your husband? When was the last time you gazed at your husband with longing?...
It is said it is easier to be kind to strangers than to those we live with. How can we choose to include more kindness in our actions with our mates, family, friends and even those we work with? It is about putting the other person first and looking for the good.
Growing apart can be slow, and the effects devasting. Take the time to reconnect with your spouse through meaningful conversations. Remembering why you got together is a great place to start. Do you know your spouse today? Are you aware of their hopes for the future? Answering questions like these are just the start of reconnecting.Â
Communication is the transfer of information and one way to build a healthy relationship. When we think about communicating, we often focus on spoken words, but there is much more to express our thoughts, feelings, faith and dreams. Body language, tone, eye contact and gestures all play a part.
When we combine verbal and non-verbal communication, we allow the listener not just to hear our words but get to see how they affect us, and this picture has the potential to build up or confuse and shut down.
If we hold back when communicating, we risk shutting down, building walls and allowing miscommunication to cause riffs, which is not usually anyone’s desire.
Have you ever apologised to your spouse or anyone else and felt they did not hear you?

How do we make our apology count?
You are not alone, getting an apology right is not as simple as I am sorry or I was wrong, but they are a great start.
