Summary
Marriage in the thick of Coronavirus hasn't been easy. And there are both disconnected and connected seasons in marriage. The closeness of relationships fluctuate - and that's entirely normal - but what matters most is how you respond to each season.
On this episode, my husband, Jesse Maestas, and I openly and candidly discuss the struggles we have in our own relationship and the feeling of disconnect that we are currently facing. We talk about what helps us to feel more connected to one another when life is pulling us in opposite directions.
We share the questions that we ask one another to help better understand and communicate. We talk about the importance of apologizing and repentance in relationships and how to argue or disagree in a healthy way.
Jesse discusses the importance of pursuing your wife, date nights and why we (as wives) must realize that men cannot read our minds.
It is important that we continue to build a biblical marriage with trust, respect and understanding - and we hope that our honest conversations encourage you to fight for the same.

| 0:04.7 | This verse resonates with me in so many ways and especially right now in a |
| 0:11.7 | disconnected season of marriage. I don't know about any of you |
| 0:15.9 | but coronavirus has not been easy on our family. We started out strong I was |
| 0:22.2 | ready to go and accomplish this mission because that's my personality. |
| 0:26.7 | I just want to accomplish and succeed and do all the things. |
| 0:31.2 | But when time goes on and there's no end in sight and life just becomes |
| 0:38.6 | blurry, I'm scrambling. That's just not a good fit for my personality. And what we've seen in this time is just a lot of confusion and hardship and dealing with that as a wife, as a husband, as parents, is not the easiest thing. |
| 0:57.4 | And so this conversation was actually recorded a while back, but it was so pertinent to where we're at right now in our disconnected marriage |

| 1:18.0 | And as I listened back to this conversation, a very candid conversation between my husband and I about our struggles. |
| 1:26.7 | It's wild how similar the situation is even today and what we're working through and so I strongly believe |
| 1:36.8 | that God uses these thorns these trials to strengthen us to lead us to him, to get us on our knees in prayer and seek him more. |
| 1:48.0 | And this conversation is one where if you want to listen with your spouse, it is a great one to do so with because we're speaking |
| 1:54.3 | to both men and women. |
| 1:55.8 | We're talking about love languages and repentance |
| 1:58.4 | and apologizing. |

| 2:01.3 | We're talking about the trust issues that we've worked through and so so much more. |
