I’ll break down each one a little further. 👇🏼 1. Go over the calendar together once a week to stay on the same page. This helps us come together as a team with a plan instead of adding potential stress or miscommunications to the week. We share a calendar on our phones and this has helped tremendously! 2. Talk to each other before making any big commitments. Whether it’s finances or time, it’s important to stay on the same page. We no longer assume that we know what each other will say - we ask before we make any big decision and decide as a family unit. 3. If emotions are high, allow each other to take a break and come back to the discussion. When you both are experiencing big emotions, it can be easy to want to sort things out in the moment but we have found that taking a pause and resetting / regaining composure is very helpful. Your words matter and it’s easy to say things you can’t take back in the heat of a disagreement. Don’t rush it, take time so you can communicate how you want and remain calm. 4. Schedule times to connect emotionally and physically so we both feel pursued. When we became parents we started to realize how much less time we have for each other so to combat this we schedule times to connect ahead of time. This has been huge for our connection and kept us strong as a couple as we navigate being new parents. Intimacy doesn’t always have to be scheduled but it does help to plan ahead so it actually happens. Do you have a communication tip to add?👇🏼💕 #marriageadvice #marriage #marriedlife #intentionalmarriage #beating50percent #healthymarriage #christianmarriage #marriagegoals #marriagetok
