Let that sit for a moment.

This question is an invitation. An open door for your partner to share what’s been held back…

Sit together without phones or distractions. Ask this question and just listen. No fixing. No defending. Just hear them.

Because every thriving relationship needs regular check-ins and safe space to be real.

👉🏾 If you've been struggling to connect, or if hard conversations always turn into conflict, we can help.

Book a free 15-minute discovery call and let’s start rebuilding your communication and closeness.

MYTH: You’ll never hurt my feelings or disappoint me.

TRUTH: Even the most loving partner will unintentionally hurt your feelings or let you down—because they’re human.

What matters most is what you do after the hurt.

Healing and reconnection require:
- Honest conversation
- Accountability
- Rebuilding trust and emotional safety

Through our relationship coaching, we help couples learn how to repair after emotional pain, big or small, so disconnection doesn't become the default.

You CAN learn how to express hurt without blame, and how to respond with empathy—not defensiveness.

👉🏾 If you’re struggling to move past a recent (or unresolved) disappointment, or emotional wound, in your relationship, let’s talk.

Book your FREE 15-minute discovery call and take the first step toward healing.

Who says date night has to mean dinner and a movie? Spice things up at home with this relaxing + romantic twist:

📝 Write these body parts on slips of paper:
Shoulders • Back • Feet • Scalp

Toss them into a hat and take turns drawing.

Alternate giving 15-minute massages based on what you each pull—no skipping! 😏

This isn’t your average “Netflix and chill.” It’s about slowing down, being intentional with touch, and reconnecting through physical care and affection. You might be surprised how much closer it makes you feel.

💬 Feeling disconnected or like roommates lately? Let’s change that!

We’re a husband and wife team, and we help couples create more connection—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Question: “What felt heavy or hard for you today?”

This simple question can shift the entire emotional climate of your relationship. Why? Because it invites empathy over answers.

Here’s the key: when your spouse shares anything, your job isn’t to fix it. It’s to listen. To validate. To be emotionally present without jumping into “solution mode.”

Sometimes, just knowing they’re seen and heard is more powerful than any advice you could give. ❤️

Try this check-in tonight and see how it softens the space between you.

MYTH: “You’ll just know how I feel without me saying it..”

TRUTH: Unspoken expectations are the fastest way to build silent walls in your relationship.

We get it—sometimes it feels like your partner should just “know.” But here's the truth: unspoken expectations are the fastest way to build silent walls in your relationship.

When your feelings go unshared, confusion grows, frustration builds, and resentment sneaks in.

If this sounds like what you’ve been experiencing—you’re not alone. It’s more common than you think, and the good news is, it’s fixable.

👥 As a husband and wife coaching team, we help couples just like you build better communication habits together—with both perspectives in the room.

Date nights aren't just for the beginning of your relationship—they're vital for maintaining connection in every season of marriage.

Feeling like roommates instead of romantic partners? It might be time to shake things up.

💡Here’s a fun idea to bring back the spark:
Buy gift cards from a few restaurants—mix up the price points—and play “card roulette” to decide where you’ll go! It could lead to an upscale dinner or an unexpected happy hour adventure.

No matter where you end up, the goal is the same: intentional, uninterrupted time with your spouse.

❤️ Real connection takes effort, not just history.

👉🏾 If you've been feeling disconnected lately, don’t wait for things to fix themselves. Book a free 15-minute discovery call with us to get back on track—from roommates to real reconnection.

🛑 SCROLL-STOPPER: This one question could uncover the root of your future conflict.

This week’s check-in question is:

“What fear are you bringing into our relationship that I don’t know about yet?”

Most couples never ask it—until it’s too late.

MYTH: “I’m just an emotional person — this is how I express myself.”

TRUTH: Passion isn’t an excuse for poor communication.

Venting without control isn’t vulnerability — it’s volatility. And when that becomes your communication style, it leaves your partner with two options: shut down or fight back. Neither builds connection.

Emotional labels like “I’m fiery” or “I just say what I feel” don’t justify lashing out. They just shield you from the truth: you can change, and your relationship depends on it.

Healthy communication starts with taking responsibility, not assigning blame.

Marriage is a daily choice, not a life sentence.

When couples commit to working through the hard stuff, it’s not because they have to—it’s because they’re choosing to believe that what they’re building is bigger than the moment they’re in. The hurt, the silence, the tension—it can all feel permanent when you're in it, but it doesn’t have to be.

When we put limitations on our marriages—thinking “this will never change” or “it’s always going to be like this”—we block the possibility of healing, growth, and deeper connection. We box in the potential God placed in our partnership.

💛 What if we reversed that narrative?

What if, like a treasure, we tended to our marriage intentionally?

What if we gave it our best—even when it’s hard?

Not because we’re stuck.

Because we choose each other. Again and again.

🗝️ Choose to show up.
Choose to listen deeper.
Choose to love—even when it’s uncomfortable.

Every day, choose each other.

💥 Throwback to 2012 💥

We signed up for a 5K Mud Run in Houston, excited and ready. I had it all planned: run hard, finish strong, and meet Shunda at the end.

But life had other plans.

After the very first obstacle, Shunda re-injured her knee—this was her first race post-ACL surgery. In that moment, I knew finishing solo wasn’t an option. I scrapped my plan and stayed by her side the entire way.

We climbed, crawled, limped, and laughed our way through that muddy mess—together. 💪🏾❤️

Marriage is the same way. You may have a plan...but sometimes you’ll find yourselves in the thick of it. And that’s when you lean in and move forward as a team.

🗣️ Tag your partner who has your back through the mud AND the milestones.

👇🏾 Drop a 💛 if you know what it means to love through the hard stuff.

Connection in marriage doesn’t always come from grand gestures—it often happens in the still, intentional moments.

This week’s check-in question is:
“Have you seen any answered prayers this past week?”

🙏🏾 Prayer is a powerful way to stay grounded in God and in each other.
When we pray with and for our spouse, it creates intimacy, trust, and spiritual alignment.

➡️ Carve out some quiet time this week to ask your spouse this question. Listen closely—not just with your ears, but with your heart.

✨ This isn’t just a check-in—it’s a moment of spiritual connection. Celebrate what God is doing in and through your marriage.

📅 Need help making these check-ins more meaningful? Book a free 15-minute discovery call and let’s talk about how we can help you build a marriage rooted in purpose and connection.

MYTH: It takes two people to make a marriage stronger.

TRUTH: Real change begins with just one!

When one spouse decides to grow, shift their mindset, and take responsibility for their emotional and relational health—it creates a ripple effect.
