Today we are digging into one of our favorite things to do each year...review the year and launch forward! Matt and I have a DIY retreat you and your spouse can do together and customize to meet the crazy schedules you have - whether you have one hour or two whole days! This episode is a DO NOT MISS. You'll be using this tool for years to come - and using it as a launch pad for your family's vision each and every year. Let's dig in!

Freedom.  We all have it to some degree, especially right now with our work-from-home schedules. But does it really make us free? And how does our spouse view that "freedom"? Do we feel like our significant other takes advantage of the freedom in our schedule? We unpack all these questions and MORE in today's spicy episode ;)  

We weren't always morning people - but now mornings are our favorite time of the day around the Granados house.  We believe in setting INTENTIONAL systems in your morning that will drive your day...and we believe in supporting our spouse as he/she does the same.  The kicker? It's not always easy...or ideal.  But here's how we make the most of our mornings to set our relationships...and our lives up for success.  

Could you recite your vows to your husband or wife today? Do you even remember what you said, let's be honest - ha.  I wrote my dang vows and forget them OFTEN.  Today, Matt and I break down what it would look like if we actually lived by the words we spoke on our wedding day AND how to take baby steps today to make big changes for our marriage.  Let's dig innnnnnto it! .

Achieving goals on our own is enjoyable but doing it with someone else makes a relationship strong.  This is not as easy as it sounds! So, today we break down why it matters to "go on the trip" with your spouse as he/she achieves his/her goals - and what role you should play in that car ride ;)  Let's dig in!

Couples Retreat scared us all little bit when it comes to vacations with other married friends, ha. But, today we want to challenge you to think a little different about what it means to take a trip with your favorite couples...and why it might be one of the best things you can do for your marriage.  And, we discuss how to do it on any budget and within any time constraint. Let's dive in!

Welp, that experiment was a failure! ha! But we learned some HUGE lessons in communication and emotional processing this week that rocked our minds and will literally change our lives and relationship.  So, are you up to unpack this little experiment with us? Here's part 2!

We learned a little bit from watching the new Scoob with our kids last week - we may all at some point or other be just like those "bad guys" and cover up what's really going on with ourselves. On today's episode, we break down the masks that we wear to hide the underlying emotions we try to avoid - whether aware or unaware.  This one is just the beginning of a BIG conversation between the two of us...let's dive in.

Do you feel like your spouse triggers you to react and act in certain ways? Maybe even in ways he/she doesn't realize? On today's episode we break down what really happens when we argue, how we are triggered and why it feels impossible to come to a point where we can grow forward from it all.  

STRESS! We all have felt it, and most of us deal with a regular rhythm of stress in our lives, work, and marriage. It comes at us from every angle it seems...and when it comes we start to point blame at the cause of our stress.  And, at least for us, it seems that the ones we love most are the ones who get the wrath of the blame game!  Matt & Maria dive into a REAL conversation about how they stress each other out and the BIG mistake they make that they need to avoid to keep their relationship ALIVE and THRIVING. What do you think it is?
