EPISODE #66 – How to keep the spark alive in your marriage
This episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast was inspired by a question I received that essentially asked: how do you keep the spark alive in marriage (especially in a long term relationship)?
I share the reason I think a lot of people have average relationships, why you don’t have to be one of them, and four simple and practical ways to keep the spark alive in your marriage.
Whether you’ve been married 1 year or 30+ years, if you’re in a situation where that flame feels a little bit burnt out and you don’t know how to harness that spark, this episode is for you.
