The Hard Conversations

Some I love because they make me laugh and some because they challenge me and help me to grow. If we want to have a thriving marriage we have to thrive in our own personal growth to thrive for each other. Pursue This is the first thing they bring up and once you have been married for awhile and you throw a few kids into the mix and the idea of pursuing goes by the way side. You need to be flirting and letting them know how much you are in love with them. A small “You look really beautiful today” goes a long way. Do the things that you did for each other before you…
