CHANGE THE ODDS
This month in the newsletter, we discuss making each other’s dreams come true. This is the pinnacle of partnership. (See question #13 from our marriage assessment.) In the previous issue, we polled the audience to see the best way to support your spouse’s dreams—the number one answer is verbal encouragement. More than money, brainstorming, time, or any other answer, the readers said they needed more encouragement. How can you encourage your spouse today regarding their dreams and goals?
See the poll below to help shape next month’s newsletter on partnership.

A Marriage Hack:
For me and Jenny, our favorite marriage hack is a regular walk. Five or more times a week, we take a 45-minute walk which allows us to catch up with each other, go over household issues, and connect beyond just the day-to-day tasks. The regular nature of the walk means when we don’t get time together, we don’t panic. We know we will have time to connect. This is a crucial routine for us. What is your routine? What predictable rhythm have you created in your marriage to guarantee you will connect? If you don’t have one, try taking a walk.
