What will bring your honeymoon era back!

On the podcast this week, we got to hear a wonderful reminder from Molly Wilcox (@mrsmollywilcox), who truly has a wonderful and refreshing way to share hope with us as we work towards finding our glow together!

Even if you haven’t gotten a chance to listen yet because of Labor Day or another reason, feel free to ALWAYS take your pace with these reminders and coaching steps and just choose episodes that are most helpful!!

So whether you listened or not, here’s a couple of tips:

Molly said a start-and-stop behavior when she and her husband Jackson comes and goes has been HUGE for keeping marriage fun in the honeymoon season and she’s committed to it ongoing!

In particular, she’s taking advantage of the start-up of a great night of connection even on a regular old weekday by her greeting her husband daily at the door - it’s something that makes his entire day special!

Now, don’t get me wrong, most likely she also has things to work out amidst the day and the relationship for that matter, but he also truly finds solace and regulation in these small bids for attention.

She also said connecting with God in praise and wonder regarding her truest dreams and biggest roadblocks is something that truly keeps her grounded, even when life could be painted very negatively.

What small things do you think, that in doing them with great love, can bring honeymoon era features back in?

Perhaps, like Toula in Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (I can’t wait for Part 3 this weekend!), by just combing or brushing your hair or being more careful with your appearance will help to make you feel like things are new.

Perhaps appearance isn’t an issue but being a good listener is something you’ve gotten more rushed with across time.

Take a moment to be thoughtful about this with me this week. Perhaps ask your spouse about the honeymoon period and what they too miss.

For me, it is definitely hugging my hubby and showing him I care, versus rushing off to research and do my own thing

Though at first, it seems as though our social or self pres or friend time may be better, our closest attachment, outside of God, is to our mate, so let’s make sure we bring in as much of that glow back in as possible, for a brighter 2.0 and beyond!

Light that fire with me, today, my friend! ❤️🕯
