Be yourself.

Enjoy your sports.

Roll your D20s.

Get your exercise.

BUT DON’T FORGET…

Your spouse needs things to enjoy, too.

Make space for each other.

You and your marriage will be better for it.

I legit think the “fall back” and “spring forward” time changes are forms of subtle forms of manipulation of general populations.

(Time change happened this past weekend in Spain for all of you waiting for it to happen this coming weekend.)

I HATE THIS.

Had a hectic week at work; would love to say I intentionally unplugged, didn’t look at Twitter, etc. but was genuinely too busy.

Made weekend plans with my son; had to hold up my end of the bargain. Up at 7:30, metro an hour later, commuter train after that-all to end up here.

Goodness gracious /r/marriageadvice and /r/deadbedrooms makes me SO THANKFUL for my marriage

But we’ve been there!

It is a sign of STRENGTH to seek out help even on a subreddit.

It shows you still give a crap about the relationship.

Life is made up of habits.

When is the last time you changed yours?

A bit of a “toot your own horn” 🧵 today.

Research shows gratitude is good for you.

For Mother’s Day 2023 I got us a large notebook, the kids decorated it, and we started a habit of “share a high, a low, & a thankful” at dessert time with our kids.

Haven’t intentionally worked out in about 2 months (due to amazing international travel; story for another day).

Last two days decided to restart in our little Spanish AirBNB.

10 pushups
1 minute of squats
1 minute of burpees

Y’all…… after two days my legs hurt.

What’s worse:

Putting together a weekly schedule and missing half of the items because you’re building a new habit

or

Not trying to change anything in your life and staying stagnant.

I will never understand getting married and not combining finances.

“We split the bills” sounds like some crazy math (and arguments) to try and keep it even.

Makes it impossible for you to build something TOGETHER if you are focused on YOU.
