Hello and welcome to the Empowered 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

in 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 Freeman's.

And this episode is what really creates change in a marriage, and this can be for better and

sometimes for worse.

Think back to your wedding vows.

And for some of you, you have them coming up if you're engaged and that is in your future.

But even if you wrote your own vows like we did, we all know that it says for better or

for worse, for richer or for poor, in sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish till death do us part. And we all remember the for better. That's what we all

want. Let's get better. Let's feel more fulfilled. Let's have an amazing life together. But we also

put in there for worse. And what we're here to say is not that

you want to live feeling like things are not great for a long period of time, but we're going to

get off track from time to time. Even the best of couples, like the couples we meet with on a daily

basis, they're incredible people, right? They're well-meaning, they're hardworking. They

are just trying to do the best in life, but maybe they lost perspective on the marriage. They

lost track of those little things that either made them feel for better or for worse. And we're

going to really shed light in this episode as to if you peel back the layers

of any result you want in the relationship more intimacy better connection less conflict

you're communicating better you feel more in harmony any of those results that you want

what is it underlying that changes in those for better
