In marriage, many people prefer to see what they want to see, seeking validation rather than facing the truth. After all, no one wants to be wrong. So in your marriage, do you want to know the truth? It's much easier to ignore the underlying issues and put a bandaid on the situation. But does this truly elevate your marriage, or is it just a temporary fix? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  You have got to step out of this comfort zone and challenge yourself to seek the truth.   "If you want to know the truth, turn off the sound!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Marriage is a two-way street, requiring effort and commitment from both partners. It takes two to tango. Acknowledging this responsibility is crucial for creating a strong foundation. However, even if both partners carry this responsibility, it only takes one to initiate change. So today, let's examine where you currently stand and where you want your marriage to go. If you want to know the truth, turn off the sound! The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn off the sound! Turning off the sound is a metaphorical way of emphasizing that actions speak louder than words, and so do your spouse's actions. 1. Pay attention to what isn't being said. It invites you to pay attention to the unspoken cues and signals within your relationship. Often, these subtle signs can reveal more about the true state of your marriage than any spoken words. By observing what isn't being said, you can begin to unravel the underlying truths that may have been overshadowed by daily routines and busyness. 2. Follow the clues where they lead. Following these clues can provide valuable insights into the challenges your marriage faces. You might uncover something you never noticed because you were in tuned with the words, not the actions. As you follow the clues without any pre-judgment, you can see what is really happening, for better or worse. 3. Face the truth in love and grace. It requires a willingness to face the truth head-on rather than avoiding uncomfortable conversations or sweeping problems under the rug. Addressing these issues with love and grace is essential for nurturing your relationship's growth and prosperity. Ultimately, you want to elevate your spouse. But if your actions say otherwise, then you need to face the fact of how you are loving well, or the lack thereof. Ultimately, seeking the truth in your marriage allows you to gauge the emotional temperature of your connection rather than reacting to fleeting moments. This is a way you can see the barometer of the day, not the temperature in the moment. It encourages you to dig deeper and uncover the root causes of any discontent or disconnect. Once you understand these underlying truths, you can develop strategies and work together to overcome any obstacles that may be hindering your marital bliss. Who doesn't want to be happy and feel engaged in their marriage with a partner who loves and cares deeply? "If you want to know the truth, turn off the sound!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Take a moment to eliminate distractions and truly see your marriage for what it is. Embrace the opportunity to communicate honestly, listen attentively, and work together towards a happier, more fulfilling partnership. And when you see gaps in your marriage, ask yourself, "What would a caring and loving wife do?" In the journey towards a thriving marriage, facing the truth is not always easy. It requires courage and vulnerability. But remember, acknowledging and addressing the truth with openness and love can pave the way for a deeper connection and contentment that will lead to a more fulfilling marriage. So, are you ready to turn off the sound and discover the truth in your marriage? "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
