Welcome to The First Years of Marriage Newsletter! We talk about the conversations, challenges, and changes that begin once the honeymoon ends. Advice from experts, mistakes from me (Jen Glantz), and things you’re going to want to know as you continue to ask yourself this question - “I’m married, so now what?”
This week’s newsletter is sponsored by:
The Newlywed Card Game
Marriage Inventory (January - March 2022)
Before you know it, the end of the year will tip-toe into your living room and remind you just how fast time flies.
Because of that, I like to do life inventories at the end of every 90-days.
Sharing with you a marriage inventory that you and your partner can do. Print this out, sit together, and answer these questions.
The beauty of doing this is that you get everything on paper. That’s the best first step toward making big changes in your relationship.
