3 Ways to Keep Your Marriage Strong When Life Changes

Life is full of change—new jobs, moves, kids growing up, health challenges. The question isn’t if change will happen, but how we’ll face it together. The good news? Change doesn’t have to push you apart. It can actually bring you closer.

In this episode, we share 3 practical ways to not just handle change, but to embrace it as a couple. You’ll discover:

• How to reframe change as growth so it strengthens your relationship.
• Why it’s vital to create shared meaning together when seasons shift.
• The role of psychological flexibility in navigating the unexpected.

“Us Time” Challenge: Talk through a recent change in your life. Then brainstorm a few intentional ways you can create shared meaning together in the middle of it.
