   How to Bring the Honeymoon Phase Back

   Who says the honeymoon has to end? A honeymoon may start with a trip after the wedding, but the honeymoon mindset can last throughout your entire marriage. In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter talk about intentionally keeping romance, excitement, intimacy, laughter, and fun alive long after saying “I do.” They discuss how couples can create romantic moments without spending a lot of money, turn an ordinary night at home into a getaway, rekindle the spark when marriage starts feeling routine, use creativity and imagination in intimacy, and make the decision to enjoy each other again—even after years of marriage. Life gets busy. Children, work, responsibilities, disagreements, and everyday routines can easily push romance to the side. But the honeymoon doesn’t have to be a one-time event. Sometimes you simply have to change your mindset, create the atmosphere, and start again. You don’t have to wait for a vacation. You don’t have to wait for an anniversary. You can start your honeymoon again today. Keep your hearts committed. ❤️ Welcome to Committed Hearts, a weekly podcast for engaged and married couples who want to build a strong, lasting, and God-centered relationship, without pressure, perfection, or churchy overload.

   When Did You Stop Touching Each Other?

   When did you and your spouse stop touching each other? Not sex. Not even necessarily foreplay. Just the everyday affection that says, “I love you. I care about you. I still want to be close to you.” In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter talk about the power of physical touch and why affection can become the “emotional glue” that keeps a marriage connected. From holding hands and hugging to a hand on the shoulder, waist, or simply reaching for your spouse, small touches can communicate love, safety, security, care, and desire without saying a word. They also discuss why every touch shouldn’t come with an expectation of sex, how affection throughout the day can strengthen intimacy later, what to do if your spouse isn’t naturally affectionate, and why past experiences can sometimes make physical touch difficult to receive. If affection has disappeared from your marriage, somebody can take the first step. Touch can be conversation without words.

   Do You Feel Like You’re Talking to a Wall?

   Have you ever tried to talk to your spouse and felt like you were talking to a wall? Communication is essential in marriage—but simply talking isn’t enough. How you say it, when you say it, your tone, how well you listen, and whether you actually understand how your spouse communicates can completely change the conversation. In this episode of the Committed Hearts Podcast, William and Donna Porter have a candid conversation about learning how to communicate with the person you married. They discuss why “we need to talk” can immediately create tension, what happens when one spouse is a talker and the other is more direct, choosing the right time for important conversations, staying on topic instead of bringing up five old problems, listening to understand instead of just waiting to respond, and why unresolved issues shouldn’t be allowed to pile up. You don’t have to communicate exactly the same way—but you do have to learn how to communicate with each other. Some conversations will be difficult. Some will be fun. But in a healthy marriage, the conversations are necessary. Keep your hearts committed. ❤️ Welcome to Committed Hearts, a weekly podcast for engaged and married couples who want to build a strong, lasting, and God-centered relationship, without pressure, perfection, or churchy overload.
