Hey Wifey! Happy Sunday!
You’ll only get as far as the last good instruction you ignored!
I’m preparing this Sunday to travel to an incredible high energy conference and be in the room with titans of self improvement, billionaires, millionaires and people on the path of creating the best life they can possibly experience! And I get to be with them, learning from them and soaking up their advice for a whole week! You best believe I’m taking notes & journaling my heart out!!! Searching my heart for a Sunday Kind of Love post… I have found that this is what I want to share with you today!
A couple of months ago, I gave advice to those struggling with intimacy in their marriage. I suggested starting a S.E.X. journal—not just to track each time you and your husband make it happen, but also as a space to vent frustrations and write about your goals for feeling more in tune with him.
How many of you actually followed that advice?
It’s easy to read or hear guidance that resonates but then never act on it. You tell yourself you’ll get around to it “later” or think it’s not important enough. But here’s the truth: every instruction you ignore becomes a block in your progress. It’s like stepping off the path you were meant to walk and wondering why you feel lost.
Why did I turn sex into the acronym S.E.X.? You’ll have to read my book to learn what each letter represents!
Marriage, especially intimacy, thrives on awareness and intentionality. A journal helps you reconnect to your body, your emotions, and your partner. It allows you to reflect on patterns, see small victories, and identify areas for growth. It keeps you honest with yourself—something that’s essential in any partnership.
If you haven’t started yet, it’s not too late. Pick up that journal and get writing. The moments you invest in yourself are the moments that bring you closer to the connection you crave.
What’s one piece of good advice you’re finally ready to act on today? Start now—your marriage deserves it; your sanity depends on it! If you haven’t already… follow the advice on reading the book “Growing Into a Mature Marriage: from Kindergarten to College” by Delyce Collins and see what other good advice you may be missing out on! You can order your copy at delycecollins.com. p.s. This journaling technique works for every area of your life! Journaling IS SO POWERFUL!!! Are you struggling with a blended family & looking for guidance? (Also something I delve into in the book btw) Are you wanting to better understand your relationship with your children, finances or even your relationship with food? Journal, journal, journal – it’s free therapy and when you follow this instruction you will be surprised at the answers that flow to you through that pen and paper!
Remember - Marriage is an art… be creative, it’s a game… have fun!
