⚡️Stop ignoring your marriage problems - try this instead. ⚡️
Aaron + Cecilia here.
After saying “I do”, we quickly realized: loving each other is one thing - knowing how to navigate marriage is a whole arena we weren’t prepped for.
We loved coffee and wanted our home to be a safe space. But disagreements? We hand no clue how to handle those.
So here’s what we did:
📱We tracked our frustrations with each other on our phones throughout the week
☕️ We met in a public spot every week. For us, it was Saturday morning at our local coffee shop
❌ Before meeting, we’d delete the petty stuff to focus on what really mattered
🕚 We capped it at one hour - no more.
Looking back - those conversations were necessary, but tough. We were faced with our own triggers, shortcomings, and were nudged to make power moves if we wanted a safe, meaningful marriage.
Short-term wins:
👉🏼 No drama, no disrespect, no avoidance, etc. We kept it civil.
👉🏼 Our home maintained a safe space for us both.
👉🏼 Weekly check-ins were consistent, so we had space to air out our concerns
Long-term wins:
🤌🏽 We learned how to really communicate.
🤌🏽 We built deep trust and accountability.
🤌🏽 Our home was stable, restful and safe.
🤌🏽 We became better individuals and spouses.
🤌🏽 We developed principles we carry today that we now pass on to our clients.
We did this for years…. And still do (just not as frequently given our progress). We’re here to say - it works!!
