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?”
THREE things for you:
I’m hosting a FREE workshop TODAY on how to break up with 2021 and close out the year with clarity on what you did well, what you could have done better, and how you can start 2022 off the right way. Sign up here (if you can’t make it live, sign up to get the replay - and share with your friends!!).
Every year, around this time, I do these 15-minute phone calls with anyone who wants to hang out and chat. The holiday season can be lonely and odd, exciting and…odd…and I like to do these mini-chats as a way of connecting with virtual friends. I only have around 25 spots open - so grab one if you want to say HELLO!
I am working on THE NEWLYWED CARD GAME! A card game for newlyweds that sparks meaningful convos, hilarious adventures, & fresh romantic moments after the honeymoon ends. Grab one this holiday season!
Newly Married Gift Guide
‘Tis the season where you look at your partner, the person you spend so much time with and know so well, and think this:
WHAT THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THEM FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON?
Before you eat panic for lunch, take a step back and ask yourself these questions:
How much do I want to spend in total? Set a budget. If not, you’ll spend tooooo much.
What kind of person are they this holiday season? Someone who needs rest or adventure? Wants self-care or vows they don’t want a gift? Knowing what category the are in can help you start.
What have they hinted at all year that they want? Try to remember 1 or 2 of th things they wanted but didn’t buy for themselves.
Okay, start with those questions and then dive into this gift guide I made below with carefully curated suggestions I think you’ll love.
