Do you or have you ever felt stuck in your marriage or serious relationship? Are you caught up in the day-to-day activities, wondering where the passion and excitement went? If so, you’re not alone. But it doesn’t have to stay that way! It’s up to us to choose what we want and make it happen. 

[02:32] So many marriages and relationships around us are failing.

[03:57] Even those that don't end in divorce seem to be full of conflict or complacency.

[05:38] If you're feeling stuck or stagnant in your relationship, you're not alone. And there's something you can do about it. 

[06:53] Most of our relationships are limited only by our imagination.

[08:31] Some conflict is natural and expected. But how we handle it makes all the difference.

[09:26] When you argue for your limits, you get to keep them. 

[10:04] You cannot solve a problem from the same level at which it was created.

[10:40] Don't fall into the Disney Princess trap. Wake up!

[12:12] We get to create the relationship and family that we want.

[14:24] Don't let resistance or limiting beliefs prevent you from creating the relationship of your dreams.

[17:30] Our marriage could become the greatest source of healing and meaning in our lives.

It takes a lot of effort...but we've already put in tremendous effort to organize as a family. Why not put in the next level of effort and make it great?
