Marriage, like any relationship, is a journey filled with peaks and valleys. When you're in a valley—facing challenges, stress, or just the everyday demands of life—it can feel like the struggles overshadow the love and connection you share. However, it’s often the small, seemingly insignificant moments that hold the power to rebuild and strengthen your bond.
Tiny wins can be anything from sharing a meal without distractions to resolving a minor disagreement with grace, or even just holding hands during a tough day. These moments remind you that you’re a team, that you’re working through life together. Celebrating them doesn’t have to be grand—acknowledging them with a smile, a kind word, or even a hug can be enough to reignite the connection.
During challenging seasons, it can help to create intentional habits for reconnecting:
Check-ins: Spend a few minutes each day asking about each other’s highs and lows. It shows that you care and keeps you in tune with each other’s emotional states.
Gratitude practice: Share one thing you appreciated about each other that day, no matter how small.
Revisit shared memories: Look through old photos or reminisce about moments that made you both laugh or feel close.
Date moments: If time is tight, even a 15-minute coffee break together can feel like a mini escape.
Unplug together: Disconnect from technology for a while and just be present with one another.
Marriage thrives not on grand gestures alone but on the consistent weaving of small acts of love, patience, and kindness. These tiny celebrations don’t just help you get through the valleys—they can transform them into fertile ground where your relationship can grow even stronger.
In marriage you don’t have to, you GET to!
