A Simple Year-End Marriage Tool TO HELP YOU RECONNECT

By Francie Winslow
This past month, it’s felt like we’ve been living in survival mode.
The flu swept through our house like a tidal wave. One kid after another, then me, then my husband. Fevers, coughs, middle-of-the-night medicine doses. Doctor visits layered on top of school drop-offs, laundry piles, and a calendar that just won’t stop.
Real life can feel relentless.
I know I’m not alone in this. Maybe you’re in the middle of your own version of chaos—navigating kids’ needs, holiday stress, work deadlines, or just the weight of ordinary responsibilities that never seem to let up.
And in all of it, marriage can so easily slip into the background. We become teammates managing logistics… and nothing more. The roommate rut? It’s real. And it’s hard.
But here’s the thing I’ve been holding onto: our connection as husband and wife is an anchor. Even when the waves crash, when tempers flare, when we’re stretched thin—our intimacy, our shared story, our “us”—is holy ground.
It’s worth slowing down for.
That’s why I created the Your Marriage on Purpose reflection guide. It’s not just a tool—it’s a moment. A sacred pause. A way to remember what you’re building together, even when everything else feels like it’s falling apart.
This simple guide is designed for real people in real marriages. It’s not fluffy or fancy. It’s warm, honest, and rooted in the belief that God meets us in the middle of our mess—not once we’ve cleaned everything up.
When you take time to reflect together—on the highs, the lows, the things that made you laugh or cry—you’re doing more than reminiscing. You’re practicing biblical remembering, the kind that strengthens your faith and fuels your connection for the road ahead.
You don’t have to carve out a weekend retreat or schedule hours of deep talk. You just need one quiet evening. A candle. A drink in hand. An open heart. And a willingness to look at each other and say: Let’s remember where we’ve been. Let’s thank God for it. And let’s walk forward with fresh vision.
Because your marriage matters.
Your connection matters.
Not just someday—right now. In the middle of the fevers and the laundry and the never-ending to-do list.
You were made for more than survival.
You were made for on-purpose love.
