AwakenYou in Your Marriage
You Don’t Need To Bounce Back Yet
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After emotionally full seasons—holidays, weddings, family gatherings, caretaking, and travel—it’s common to feel slower rather than energized. In this episode, Christine explores the quiet “in-between” season that often follows big life moments and why it doesn’t mean anything has gone wrong.
This gentle, reflective conversation invites listeners to discern the difference between rest and retreat, productivity and protection, and how these inner shifts show up in marriage. You’ll also learn how to communicate what’s happening internally so quiet seasons don’t turn into relational distance.
This episode is a permission slip to slow down and stay connected—to yourself and to your spouse.
