It’s true.
Hot Guy (Mike) and I have been together. We’ve been navigating marriage and kids and familyness for a longer time together than we lived at home with our parents (that sentence effectively made me sound much older than I feel).
Mike and I have experienced disappointments and set backs, financial struggles, moving across the country, losing people who matter to us, having days we didn’t think we’d make it through, and always living far away from family.
We’ve also seen joy and triumph, bringing four children into the world, the thrill of the career path we’d been hoping for, buying our first house, being caregivers to people who blessed our lives, moving across the country, seeing each other grow and change in crazy awesome ways, traveling to England together, and birthdays and lots of anniversaries.
Through it all we’ve stayed in awe of each other, trusted each other, and become better people in large part because a long time ago we told each other we’d never give up on one another. We would never give up on our love. Over the years, days and weeks have not been perfect but our life together has been imperfectly just right for us.
I think you’ve been through some of the same things we have experienced. I think you promised to fight for each other. To not give up on your love. I think you’re like us. You love each other deeply. You’re also the kind of people (or person) who are always up for discovering new ways (or get refreshers) to love, care, understand, and be there for the person you love most. And going on a marriage adventure sounds like the coolest thing ever!
If you’re like us, join us right now! We’re ready to have a meaning-filled, super cool adventure!
Invest in your love (usually $99!):
Better Together is an opportunity for couples (or individual spouses within couples) to reconnect amidst diaper duty and managing teen angst. It’s an online marriage experience including weekly lessons, a pdf guide, challenges, dates that go beyond dinner, questions, and an interactive Adventure Facebook group. (scroll down for more details)
Looked across the table and been so grateful for the person you’re married to but at the same time got the feeling that you are each living on separate alien planets, orbiting each other but never actually meeting (this sounds a little like it could be made into a movie)
Wondered where the passion has gone…you know you still love each other…there’s just the part where you feel like walking zombies
Wished that you had more time to talk and communicate about more than who is picking up the kids and how much baby formula to buy
Hoped that there would be something left of the two of you once all the chores, diapers, nose wiping, repeat book reading, running after the child who always gets away, spilled and wiped up juice were done for the day
Promised yourself that today you would act more in love
Wished that you paid as much attention to your marriage as you do your kids
Are you ready to feel less blah days and a little more heart-stopping, more spine-tingling, more breath-taking?
I believe every couple is awesome. Seriously. I know we use that word like crazy…but I’m sticking with awesome.
I believe the reason you and your spouse came together is because you inspired awe in each other. When the two of you came together 2 years ago, or 5 or 10 or 20 or 50 years ago, what you each brought to the table was awe inspiring. You each saw it in each other and you walked around on a cloud of awe.
Those awe-filled parts of you brought you together and made something incredibly awesome.
You came together. You committed. You promised. You knew there would be hard days. You said you would fight for each other, for your love, even on those days.
You were expecting hard and difficult and fun and happy and challenging and wonderful and spine-tingling and surprising and heart-stopping.
Blah is more just doing the living. The day-to-day. It’s not bad. It’s not incredible. It’s surviving.
We’ve all had days…maybe weeks…maybe more where we feel like we’re just surviving.
It’s time to get the awe-inspiring stuff back…your awesome parts. The two of you…the part that made you in awe of each other. It’s there everyday…it’s time to bring it out to shine.
brings you back to the awe (you’ve already got it we’re just going to let it show up)
asks some hard questions (that are totally worth the work, because working on your love is the best work you can do)
delivers lots of fun in the mix (I love fun…I hope you do, too)
Awe brings to the surface all of the stuff that’s been hidden under the layers of everyday. It’s there. You’re going to uncover it. The hard questions will bring you closer to each other…they will give you a chance to look the awesome stuff about each other in the face and really see it again. You’ll understand your spouse in ways you didn’t expect. And that will carry you through.
We are also going to have a LOT of fun!
Better Together = it’s never been more fun to love and practice marriage.
In only 10 minutes a day your marriage can become happier, more committed, fun, exciting, and alive. Ten minutes and fun activities that fit into the daily round of your life. Yes, siree. No hour long commitments here. It quick and fun. AND those 10 minutes don’t even have to be together. (I know that sounds weird but it’s true.) No coordinating of your schedules to make sure that you do the daily 10 minutes together everyday.
This course isn’t going to teach you principles and theory and philosophy and then wish you luck. You are going to be doing meaningful work mixed with a huge dose of fun, unexpectedness, excitement. Unearthing some things that will grant you a closeness you didn’t know you’ve been hoping for (or maybe you already have been hoping).
affection (because it’s what helps us thrive)
appreciation (who doesn’t love compliments?)
devotion (the thing that made us believe our love could conquer all)
emotion (that isn’t just overwhelm)
friendship (looking across the table and knowing they’ve got your back…priceless)
passion (fire-y kisses are good for the butterflies in your stomach)
tenderness (it makes facing the hard stuff more bearable)
delight (a little magic goes a long way)
fun (because laughing is awesome!)
You’ll definitely want to be part of this marriage experience!
People who are in verbally or physically abusive relationships.
Couples who are hoping this class will fix their spouse.
If you believe your spouse is the reason your marriage is a mess.
People who want to have a deeper, more meaningful connection with the one they love
Anyone who wants to put some fun and spark back into their relationship
People who like practical tips for creating more intimacy, fun, conversation, understanding, appreciation, and affection with their partner
A person who likes a proven system for connecting everyday
Better Together is for everyone who wants to have a deeper, more meaningful connection with the one they love. It is also for those who are looking to put some fun and spark back into what is already a connected and loving relationship.
Most couples feel like they are doing ok. They don’t feel destined for the therapists office. Life is going pretty well. They are just busy. They might be raising kids. They know they love each other and they are holding onto that.
Occasionally, though, they remember those newlywed feelings of excitement and newness and they miss it a little bit. They know their love has grown in new ways but they wish there was more of…something…but they can’t quite place what it is.
Better Together will remind you of all of the ways you are…better together.
You’ll have fun like you’ve not had fun in awhile, talk about things that will bring you closer, do things you forgot you used to do while dating and newlywed, and light up each others days in unexpected ways.
And your kids will notice. And they will feel your love more deeply. They will be affected in ways that will improve their behavior, they will feel more understood, and more loved.
Your marriage, the two of you, can have that kind of affect…because you are Better Together.
I’m not promising to take away the crazy busyness of life or the diaper changes or the angst your teenagers are facing…or any of the other real parts of your life. I am promising that when you commit to Better Together it will give you more magic in the mundane, more closeness and connection with the person you love most in the world, and children who feel more resilient when they go out into the world.
