Why would you not want to help your spouse become successful in loving you well? 

This week we’re talking all about Gary Champan’s 5 Love Languages!

Many of us have heard of the Love Languages:

1. Words of Affirmation
2.Acts of Service
3. Receiving Gifts
4. Quality Time 
5. Physical Touch 

And while it’s become kind of trendy to bash the concept, we agree that it can be a helpful conversation starter. Using the 5 Love Languages as a starting point, learning how to love your partner well is a super-power that can really revolutionize your relationship.

Instead of assuming your partner already knows or that they SHOULD know without you telling them, try having a candid conversation about how they can be successful in loving you well.

According to data from 2021, the National Institute of Mental Health found:

- 8.3% of all adults in the US had at least one major depressive episode
- Adults aged 18-25 experienced the highest rates of depressive episodes
- Depressive episodes in adult females were more prevalent than in adult males

We hear stats on depression all the time, and it can be quite, well, depressing.

But do we actually have a sense of what depression is?

Symptoms can take many forms and can vary from person to person. But there are some key things to look out for in yourself or in a loved one.

On this week’s episode (like in bio) we talk a bit about this and some solutions to help cope with depression. We hope it brings insight and compassion to an issue that’s close to our hearts.

What if I spoke to my spouse like they were my friend? 

Many couples give up trying to talk at all because it just ends in a fight or misunderstanding. So why bother?

But sometimes simply approaching our partner like we would a friend- from a place of genuine curiosity and respect- changes the entire dynamic.

Don’t forget to be a friend to your spouse today and check out our newest podcast episode to hear more about this and other tools for effective communication.
