Summary
The success of your life and marriage isn't as much about the things that happen to you, but how well you can course-correct. This goes for bigger life decisions about where to live, send your kids to school, and where to spend money. As well as the amount of time to pass before initiating repair after a conflict, the attitude you wake up with, and even the thoughts you let your mind focus on.
So then what does "course-correcting" actually look like in regard to these decisions? That is exactly what you will hear in the episode. You are going to hear 4 questions to ask yourselves that will help you to determine whether you are on path or off path, which greatly impacts your satisfaction in your life and marriage together. (So yes it's pretty important!)

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Empower Couples podcast. We're here you get modern, non-boring relationship advice for you and your partner to communicate like pros, fight smarter, and stay on the same team no matter the challenge that you face. I am one of your hosts, Aaron Freeman. And I'm Jocelyn Freeman, but you all just know us as the Freemans. |
| 0:16.9 | And this episode is titled, Deeper Questions You Should Be Asking Yourselves Right Now. |
| 0:22.0 | I would bet you have not asked yourselves the three questions that we are going to go into |
| 0:26.2 | and we're going to explain why they're so important and going to allow you to to connect and |
| 0:32.5 | actually feel more unified as you talk about them. |
| 0:35.6 | But I don't know about you, but I realize more and more how |
| 0:38.5 | fast time is passing. And truly, as a cheesy as it sounds, how precious life is. And we want to |
| 0:46.3 | make sure that we're truly living. We're not just getting things done. We're not just having |
| 0:51.8 | years pass. We are truly living and we're living on purpose. |

| 1:30.2 | course correction. What that means is we don't need to spend so much time focusing on the specific |
| 1:38.1 | choices that we've each made. It's more like how quickly can we get back on track. And so for me, that's a big thing |
