Summary
In this final episode of the Intentional Intimacy series, Francie invites you to reflect, remember, and recalibrate.
Over the past nine weeks, we've explored simple yet powerful practices to foster deeper connection in your marriage. Today's episode offers a tenth—and essential—idea: pausing to remember what has worked, what has blessed your marriage, and what you want to carry into the next season.
Whether it's kisses in the kitchen, body awareness, or shared breath, this episode will help you name the rhythms that bring life and intimacy, and gently let go of what didn't fit this season.
Francie also shares how she and Wyatt use this simple rhythm in their own marriage and why remembering is more than nostalgic—it's a spiritual discipline that breeds gratitude, clarity, and hope.
Listen in and be encouraged to swim against the current of busyness and towards intentional connection.

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, it's Francie. Welcome back. We are wrapping up the final episode of this 10-week series that we have done on intentional intimacy. It was 10 ideas to apply and easily grab a hold of intentional, practical suggestions that can bring more intimacy on purpose in your marriage. |
| 0:27.3 | And so I hope that the nine that I've shared so far have been helpful. |
| 0:30.7 | And today is going to be a bit of an offering and an opportunity to recalibrate what has worked over these last nine weeks |
| 0:39.1 | and a tool that I hope you can take in the future to bear fruit on intentional investment |
| 0:46.3 | in your marriage because it's something that Wyatt and I do regularly in our marriage. |
| 0:50.7 | And it is the practice of remembering what's worked, remembering what God has done, |
| 0:55.3 | remembering where we've come from, and what has helped our marriage, what has worked, |
| 1:00.7 | maybe what has not worked, so that moving forward we can apply what has worked in more intentional |
| 1:06.8 | ways. And so it's a bit of a transition right now between the series we've done and moving into a new season, new school years coming up, new rhythms are going to be upon us very soon, and I wanted to create some space for that conversation today. So that's where we're going today is the practice of intentionally remembering. So Lord, thank you for the space to reflect, the space to consider |
| 1:29.8 | what you've done, what you have given us, how we've learned, how we've grown, the space to |
| 1:34.5 | contemplate and share together verbally and emotionally the memories and the practices and the |
| 1:42.0 | ways that we have seen you move and seeing ourselves grow |
| 1:46.1 | this season. So I invite you into this conversation and pray that you would lead us into more |
| 1:51.6 | spaces of connection in Jesus' name. Okay, I love this scripture, Psalm 7711. I just thought |
| 1:58.2 | I would share it with you. It says, I will remember the works of the Lord. |
| 2:03.7 | Surely, I will remember your wonders of old. I will also meditate on all your work and talk of your |
| 2:10.0 | deeds. And so what I love about that is the practice of on purpose remembering the works of God |
| 2:17.0 | and talking about the works of God, remembering |
| 2:20.7 | how he's been growing us, remembering what he did in our midst, and then talking about it. |
| 2:25.4 | And so one of the practices that has been very influential in our marriage and in our family |
| 2:30.5 | is we look back on previous seasons and say, what worked? |
| 2:34.1 | And we make note of that. We make note of how what worked and we make note of that we make |
