These Are The Days

We just celebrated our 9 year anniversary (wild!) so marriage is at the forefront of this episode. ♥️ The last 9 years may have taken us away from our plans. But allowing the Spirit to move and shift them has led us to better plans than we could have expected, even if sometimes it has been challenging. Our marriage identity has been formed, and as we share our journey with you, we hope it inspires YOU to establish a marriage identity of your own.  We are diving into running the Helvetia Half Marathon, our 13 mile marriage nuggets, and a behind the scenes look at partnerships + brand deals for influencers.  Pre-sale for These Are The Days Sweatshirts is EXTENDED through Sunday, 10/15. We hope every time you put it on this cozy hoodie it can be a simple reminder to slow down, stay present to the moment and remember that every day is an opportunity to make memories with those you cherish most.

Every relationship has conflict - it is universal + inevitable! But what sparks the most conflict in your relationship? Is it stress, lack of time together, money, hard days at work or with the kids?

Memories of Us has launched - and just in time for Valentines Day! We believe this journal will carry great weight and impact, beyond your marriage + for generations of your family to come. To celebrate Memories of Us launching, we are diving into why making memories + marking moments is SO important to us and how you can cultivate this in your relationship too. We love what Corrie Ten Boom brilliantly says, “Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.” Beyond making memories, we love to “lock it in.” This is our way of creating a mental tattoo of important moments to us; moments of celebration, loss, disappointment, or even just the little daily moments of discovery, connection, or breakthrough. It has become part of our marriage culture and we hope to encourage you to find your own way to integrate this into your relationship too!  Behind the Scenes Podcast is partnered with Compassion International.

We are SO excited for today’s episode because we are covering a lot of ground!  First, we are going to tackle a fear floating around our world today when it comes to relationships: the fear of being cheesy. And how that fear holds us back from pursuing creativity in our love stories.  We are also going to play a fun game that involves YOU guys! We asked you on Instagram to share some statements/assumptions about us, and we are going to answer those.  A lot of those questions had to do with the farm. And we have been processing this all summer + are finally ready to share an update with you. While it won’t answer all your questions, we know that it will bring enough clarity as we share our hearts.  And finally, we are going to talk about roles in our relationship (something you all have been asking more and more!)  So grab a cup of coffee, sit fireside, and let’s dive in!  Behind the Scenes Podcast is partnered with Compassion International.
