Connection Crisis: The Power of the Available Spouse

Connection Crisis: The Power of the Available Spouse


In this episode, we're discussing what it means to be "aptly available" in a marriage. I outline five keys that can help take a marriage to the next level for couples already present and engaged in their relationships. I emphasize the importance of intentionality, curiosity, vocalizing appreciation, time-blocking, and praying together. Plus, I'm sharing some personal anecdotes and practical advice to help couples strengthen their connection and move from being just available to being "awesomely attentive."


**Key Points:**
- The meaning of "apt" and how it applies to marriage.
- The importance of intentionality in maintaining a strong marriage and avoiding complacency.
- Staying curious about each other, vocalizing appreciation, and time-blocking to ensure quality time together.


The episode ends with a powerful affirmation for prioritizing marriage intentionally and putting in the work to maintain a successful relationship.
