How’s Your Marriage Doing?

By  |  7 Comments

happy wednesday!

i mentioned this on my instagram story a few weeks ago but realize not everyone who reads here might see that!

i am thrilled to announce (no, not another pregnancy, chill out) that my husband and i will be doing our first TEDxTalk in april! it’s going to be in akron, ohio and if you are near there, you should get tickets now and then we can hang out! i’m real excited!

our topic is going to be around marriage and it would be so incredibly helpful if you filled out the marriage survey we have put together! i don’t want to like promise our next child to you if you do it but like…we would value your input.

the catch?

we are surveying currently married people so if that’s you, the survey can be found right HERE!

the average time it is taking people to fill out the survey is 3 minutes and 38 seconds, which is shorter than most michael jackson videos. thank you for taking the time to help influence our TEDxTalk with real life statistics!

your response is 100% anonymous and we need men and women of all ages who are married to share your insight!

so, how’s your marriage doing? when is the last time you did a check-up on it to see where areas can be improved or where you are both really rockin’ it?

this past weekend, my husband and i had the opportunity to do a couples’ workshop in knoxville, TN! yes, the event was basically held in a pinterest image and we had so much fun!

we often spend a ton of time and energy on our business or career but don’t always prioritize spending effort on our marriage. i absolutelyย looooved looking around the room when couples were setting goals together and working through other exercises together. i think i am finally finding my sweet spot of social worker mixed with entrepreneur.

my marriage at the current moment is in a good but tough spot. the toughness is that my husband is traveling for a while and our sweet daughter had ear tube surgery yesterday. thankfully my mom was able to be there with me but it was hard on me and my husband for us not all to be together. thank goodness for facetime (but i had no idea new delhi, india was 12 hours and 30 minutes ahead).ย i mean, adding another 30 minutes? who is in charge of these decisions?

i am working hard these next few days while my husband travels and atlas is with her grandparents to finish my final rounds of edits on my new product (a real, tangible, thing)! it’s designed specifically for couples who love to travel and know the importance of being intentional in your marriage. i am getting so excited (and slightly terrified) to put it out into the world and share it with you soon!

here are a few ideas of how to put more energy into your marriage:

with that, i shall say thank you for filling out our survey (here’s the link again in case you don’t want to scroll back up). i hope you are having a fabulous start to the month of march!
