⁠Book a free 20 minute financial coaching session with us! Happy Valentine’s Day. Let’s talk about sex in your marriage! Normal marriage seems to include a dormant sex life and, unfortunately, a roommate-type of relationship. Sex forces a couple to be vulnerable with one another. You can’t be too proud when you’re naked (well, most of us can’t be). Sex forces us to break down the walls that get put up in a marriage. When walls come down, you can get past things that drove you apart, caused you to bicker, to feel distant. You can just be the two of you that you started off as.  In this episode we cover:  ✔️ Why sex is important in your marriage  ✔️ Benefits of sex  ✔️ How to make time for it  ✔️ Examples of how to create a spark  This episode is also available as a blog post & you can get your amazing date night bingo game here! 4 Ways To Connect With Us: 1️⃣ FREE CALL: Book your FREE 20-Minute Financial Coaching Call now!

⁠⁠Book a free 20 minute financial coaching session with us!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ This time of year can bring a lot of joy. It can be a time where people feel more sad (why has the sun forsaken us?), overwhelmed by all the things to do and even underwhelmed by what they've accomplished. We've got the 3 step exercise to help you figure out what's really bothering you and then refresh your mindset. You need to know what you can and can't control. You need to chunk down what you want to accomplish and how you want to feel to an exciting list of goals. Finally, you need to speak it into life. We'll walk you through and also tell you all about our goals for our health, our marriages, our home, our business and our kids.
