Are you accepting your spouse's influence in your marriage? 

What does that even mean?

Accepting your spouse's influence is about being open to your spouse. You are always teachable. It is about making the marriage relationship more important than having things your way. It is understanding that in a marriage you are in a constant state of give and take. 

And what is behind accepting your spouse’s influence? Honoring and respecting their opinions and feelings. It is very different than knowing them. Honoring and respecting require action. When you lean into your spouse's views and feelings to improve how you relate to them on an emotional level, the relationship becomes stronger. 

In this episode I'll give you what accepting your spouse's influence looks like and how you can start accepting your spouse's influence now.

Revive Your Midlife Marriage

This podcast is for couples in midlife that want to revive a floundering marriage. Often, when the kids leave a new phase of marriage begins. Unfortunately, many couples struggle to nurture this new phase because either they don't know what to do, or they have become apathetic about their marriage and resign themselves to accept things as is, even when what is, is less than satisfying. Maybe the conversations are perfunctory and shallow, the time you spend together doing meaningful and fun things is something of the past, or the closeness you once felt, in the beginning, has waned. You might even question if staying is even worth it anymore. You can't go back to what you had before. Mature marriage needs a new approach. My marriage had been placed on the back burner as we raised children, dealt with chaotic schedules, built careers, managed a household, and sought financial stability. When our kids grew up and it was just the two of us again, our marriage was anorexic. We had three choices: stay miserable, divorce, or change our approach. We chose the latter, but we had to learn and implement new skills and practices, change old patterns, and start doing things differently with intention. My marriage is better today than it was in the beginning! In this podcast, I will be covering many topics related to the midlife marriage relationship, helping you look at what isn't working, and giving you solid tips on how to revamp your marriage and make it thrive. Topics will include updating your communication approach, increasing intimacy, creating meaningful shared experiences, and a multitude of things in between that relate to the challenges of a midlife marriage. Whatever you are struggling with, in your marriage, you are not alone. Join me as I help you REVIVE YOUR MIDLIFE MARRIAGE.
