Summary
Bethany had been married and things were going along fine, but she didn't feel very connected to her husband on a deep level.
She planned to go on a weekend retreat and she was surprised to find out all that she learned.
She found out that she and her husband communicate differently.
For example, she found out that husbands' preferred method of communication is sex, while that is not wives' first preferred method of communication.
This and other generally true understandings gave her the insights she needed to bring her intimacy to a greater level in all areas of her relationship.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Delight Your Marriage Podcast, the show where you hear from amazing and inspiring |
| 0:08.1 | wives sharing their struggles, triumphs, and advice for this journey called marriage. |
| 0:13.9 | Here's your host, Bella Rose. |
| 0:18.7 | Welcome to the show. |
| 0:20.4 | If you have been married for any length of time, you probably have |
| 0:24.5 | figured out that marriage is not a cakewalk. And if you see marriages that have fallen by the |
| 0:32.6 | wayside, it's because it's clear that marriage is not for the faint-hearted. It's not an easy thing, |
| 0:40.4 | but it is valuable. It is something that when you dig in, when you fight for it, the rewards are |
| 0:48.9 | beyond anything. I mean, today, this is the second half of my interview with Bethany |
| 0:56.6 | Rieckman. And one thing I really love that she said is, you know, if you want to get in shape, |
| 1:01.5 | you have to go exercise. You have to work at it. And then you get the rewards of being in shape, |
| 1:07.4 | being fit, being able to run around with your kids or run a marathon or whatever |
| 1:12.6 | your goal is. I mean, it gives you a better life. So at the same time, when we work at our |
| 1:19.7 | marriages, we are also rewarded with a better existence. And I think it's the kind of existence |
| 1:26.4 | that God wants us to have. When we work |
| 1:29.4 | at our marriage, we are more fulfilled. It becomes not just more fulfilled, but also I think we're |
| 1:35.0 | purified and we become better people and the kinds of people that God wants us to become. |
| 1:39.8 | So today we're talking about that. We're talking about why Bethany's marriage has been successful. |
| 1:45.6 | And we talk about the keys that have kept her marriage together. |
| 1:48.9 | So let's go ahead and dive in. |
| 2:09.8 | Okay, well, so I want to kind of switch gears a little bit and ask you, so you kind of mentioned how your marriage was beforehand, just not, just kind of going through life together, |
| 2:16.0 | but not necessarily connecting. Yeah, there you go, |
