Can chronic illness strengthen a marriage? How do you stay connected when life gets overwhelmingly busy? These are just some of the pivotal questions WE explore in this episode. WE begin by reflecting on our journey through 2024, celebrating the small victories in our personal and financial goals while acknowledging the areas that need more work. You'll hear about our commitment to regular date nights and the enriching Bible studies that have deepened our bond, alongside a candid discussion on our "Money Monday" meetings and the importance of budgeting and multiple income streams.

Our conversation then shifts to the deeply personal topic of chronic illness and its impact on marriage. We open up about the progression of lung issues from sporadic incidents to persistent health crises and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies it. This heartfelt segment reveals our evolving perspectives on support and self-reflection, emphasizing the strength found in unity and unconditional love. WE aim to offer valuable insights for anyone navigating similar challenges, underscoring the importance of rejecting selfish thoughts and staying united in the face of adversity.

Finally, WE delve into the concept of "drift" in marriage and the importance of intentional communication. Drawing wisdom from Gary Thomas' "Sacred Marriage," WE discuss how shared activities and prioritizing our relationship have fostered deeper intimacy. WE also touch on the significance of mutual understanding, respect, and grace, especially during busy times. From strategic planning of personal and marital goals to celebrating the joy of growing together, this episode is a testament to faith, support, and the enduring power of love. WE invite you to subscribe, share, and engage with our community as WE continue this journey together. Until next time, peace.
