Ep. 190 - Your Marriage Doesn’t Need More Gifts, It Needs This

This holiday season, we’re talking about the one gift that changes everything in a marriage — forgiveness. Not the “pretend it didn’t hurt” kind, but the kind that softens resentment, quiets scorekeeping, and makes room for joy again. In this episode, I share why couples secretly keep “naughty lists,” how those quiet tallies slowly chip away at connection, and why choosing forgiveness can turn even the smallest moments into unexpected intimacy. I’ll walk you through a personal story with Brian, the science of resentment, and practical ways to offer forgiveness that actually brings you closer. Because the lights might tangle and the cookies might burn, but a forgiving heart can turn any season into one filled with warmth, connection, and love chosen on purpose.🔗 Website: www.monarchforlove.com 📘 Book: www.awakenedheartsbook.com Instagram: @Monarchforlove TikTok @monarchforlove
