💙❤️New Episode on our marraige podcast!Join Abe and Elaine this Christmas as we give mistletoe a deeper meaning than just holiday décor.

Historically, mistletoe stayed green when everything around it died back in winter, which made it a symbol of hope, renewal, and connection. Over time it became a reminder to pause, soften, share a kiss, and come close.

This year we’re practicing mistletoe moments! ❤️ Tiny Pauses throughout the season where we stop long enough to really see each other.

Not long talks.
Not perfectly curated dates.
Just intentional connection that quietly says:

💚 You matter
💚 I still choose you
💚 I see you
💚 I’m here

Some moments will be sugar …soft compliments, gratitude pauses, a quiet hold by the glow of the tree, a prayer before bed.

Some moments will be spice…..a sprig hung over the bed, a slow kiss, playful flirtation, a little warmth that reminds us we’re not just teammates but lovers too.

Because marriage isn’t only strengthened by huge gestures, it flourishes in the gentle, repeated moments of closeness.

This season, let mistletoe prompt you to slow down, kiss, laugh, pray, flirt, breathe, and come close again.❤️🎄 episode link on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/5WADElVqaMP8j7FhLEAbuN?si=I_a41x-zSgKhP8EgxsmKfQ

💙❤️Join Abe and Elaine as they dive into Gottman’s final principle for making marriage work: Shared Meaning. This episode explores what your marriage stands for ….beyond chores, communication, or conflict.

They’ll talk about how every couple needs to define the philosophy of their marriage:
• What do we value?
• What traditions matter to us?
• How do we see parenting, politics, faith, or family roles?
• What are the small daily rituals that make us “us”?

From tiny moments like Sunday morning routines to the big beliefs that guide your life, shared meaning is what turns a relationship into a legacy.

Tune in as Abe and Elaine unpack how couples can discover, define, and intentionally build their shared story…together.❤️💙 link to podcast on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3ITcKDOv8MYEs0aps0JUcp?si=Dx7W7k6rRpG7IgCN4kYm3Q

💙⚓️In this lovely story a panicked, lost turtle was found on the side of the road …and guided home to feel safe again. The client and I discussed how we all feel lost and rattled sometimes. How we can also recognize when someone else feels lost. We can feel empathy and to guide them back to safety. I was moved by this kiddo’s story of kindness and providing safety to others. What a powerful lesson for this world today. Maybe we all should keep an eye out for those feeling lost (Permission given to post) Sand Tray Therapy is a Jungian approach that provides clients with a variety of figures that allows them to bring what is on their hearts and minds to life. When we can use a concrete symbol to capture feelings and core beliefs it becomes a beautiful way to organize our thoughts. 💙⚓️

💙⚓️Ever lose it with your teen? Remind your self to “Respond don’t React” in those tough convos with your teens! This not only allows you to speak from a clear logical headspace…it also models self regulation to your teen. Let them see you take a breath or say give me a second here so I can respond and not just react. Let them know I don’t want to lash out or say something I don’t mean. If you make a mistake and react? Take ownership and show them how to apologize and ask to start again. Our teens learn healthy conflict resolution, relationship management, and emotional regulation from us first! Hang in there mom and dad! We get it! Need help? Give us a call 951-252-8411
