Hey c I haven’t checked in here for a while. My husband and I expected our fourth baby, but lost our last one with an early miscarriage. We have two healthy boys at home. Our very first baby girl passed away at 3 months old from a life-threatening, genetic condition. We were blessed to have her, yet it was a challenge taking care of her. Because of her condition, her body required oxygen (due to weak muscles), a feeding tube, and constant monitoring her oxygen level. She lived most of her life in the hospital. My husband and I have been praying for a little girl. Since she was our first girl, we were deeply heartbroken. We had our 10th wedding anniversary in January, but never got to do anything for it. We tried planning a getaway trip, but plans changed twice, and it was beyond our control. We want to plan our anniversary trip sometime soon. What are some ways we can reconnect to strengthen our marriage? Through grief, parenting a 5 and 3 year old, and ways to communicate our needs to each other?

What if your marriage didn’t need a miracle as much as it needed a rhythm? Most couples don’t drift apart because of one huge moment. They drift because they stop checking in. They stop asking questions. They stop praying together. They stop being intentional. They stop fighting for connection in the small moments. But the good news is this: Small rhythms can rebuild what slow drifting damaged. Today’s challenge: Take 10 minutes with your spouse and ask these 3 questions: 1. How are you really doing emotionally? 2. What is one way I can love you better this week? 3. Is there anything we need to talk about that we’ve been avoiding? Comment “done” after you have your 10-minute check-in today.

Some marriages look good on the outside but are falling apart underneath. We’ve learned that a strong marriage doesn’t just happen. It takes intention, sacrifice, honesty, and daily investment. You can make things look fine for a while, but if there’s no real foundation, eventually the cracks will show. A thriving marriage isn’t built on appearances. It’s built behind closed doors — in the hard conversations, the small choices, the forgiveness, and the decision to keep choosing each other again and again. Don’t just build a marriage that looks good. Build one that’s actually strong. Question: What do you think makes a marriage strong beneath the surface?

What is the most thoughtful or surprising gift received from your spouse or meaningful date night experienced? (Dan says flood the comments, he needs ideas)😉😆🥰
