Act
Conflict is inevitable in any relationship—often beginning just an hour after the wedding! In Episode 15 of the Fun Marriage Workshop Podcast, Greg & Rachelle Colegrove and Andy & Laura Tate dive into the final step of the Care Cycle: Act. While many couples try to rush into a quick apology or "fix" to keep the peace, doing so without emotional processing often leaves the root issue unresolved. We discuss how to move past the "fight or flight" instinct by using timeouts for reflection, allowing you to take true ownership of your part in an escalation through meaningful apologies, heart talks, and physical connection.
Alongside personal stories of marriage "fails" and successes from Greg, Rachelle, Andy, and Laura, we tackle a common struggle from our mailbag: feeling like roommates. We answer a question from Patricia in Iowa about overcoming loneliness and reigniting the spark when the connection feels faded. Whether you are navigating a fresh disagreement or looking to bridge a long-standing gap, this episode provides practical tools to ensure your actions lead to genuine growth, because your marriage matters to us and it matters to God.
