The New Year comes with a lot of pressure—new goals, big expectations, and the fear of falling short. But what if a strong marriage isn’t built on resolutions or quick fixes?Today we talk about how couples can use the New Year as a healthy reset—without perfection, shame, or unrealistic expectations. We explore how to reflect on the past year honestly, celebrate real progress, and identify patterns that no longer serve your marriage.You’ll hear practical ways to talk through what to leave behind, what to carry forward, and how to move toward growth together—one intentional step at a time. We also introduce the idea of choosing a shared “word of the year” for your marriage, giving you a simple anchor to guide decisions, communication, and conflict throughout the year.This conversation is about progress, not perfection. About choosing consistency over burnout. And about building a marriage that grows stronger in ordinary, everyday moments.Happy New Year—and here’s to growing forward together.
