This week you get to see our message in action as we come to you together… from separate states. It is difficult to maintain a healthy family balance when one or both partners have to be apart for long periods of time. When we think of families separated by distance, military, first-responders, flight attendants, salesmen and truckers, but some other common examples are migrant workers, inmates, immigrants, and divorced parents.

In this episode, we talk about giving up on each other. As you can see, we didn't give up BUT we came close to calling it quits.

We talk about how we got there, things we did to make it through, and what we still do to this day.

Happy Sunday Peeps!I don't know about you but we have noticed the seemingly infinite things competing for our time and attention, especially during this holiday season. Our children's activities, work, personal goals, housecleaning, appointments, it can leave us feeling drained and disconnected. We've always made date night a priority, but man, those costs add up and frankly, date night breeds these expectations that rarely ever live up to the hype. we've gone over countless ideas on Pinterest for cheap dates, and while some of those ideas were winners, many of them simply didn't suit us as a couple. It's important to keep trying to tailor dates and events that fit your life and personalities because studies show that couples who plan a date night once a month are 30% more likely to stay together. More importantly, studies have found that the key component of successful marriages is the ability to laugh with your partner! So take a listen, then plan some time with your favorite human and let them know how glad you are to have them in your life. *Bonus* We've put together some free date printables on our blog: https://sigandstig.com/2019/12/08/ep-13-dating-to-keep-your-love-life-lively/Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sigandstig)

*Sensitive Content Warning*Hey Peeps, today we're discussing the reason behind the time gap. Spoiler alert: Heather finally lost her marbles. We're discussing her hospitalizations, factors, reactions, and what she's doing to recover. About half of the adult population experiences some form of mental illness in their lifetime, about a third of adults battle anxiety disorders specifically, and yet treatments are still (for the most part) left to trial and error. Many medications even increase anxiety and depression and take weeks, even months, to adjust to. Mental illness is something you should never have to face alone. We are big advocates for counseling, but if you ever find your thoughts racing and feelings of hopelessness take over, please, reach out the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255, or take yourself into the emergency room.
