Episode Summary:  Are you experiencing the empty nest stage of life or finding yourself constantly in close quarters with your spouse? If the 24/7 togetherness feels overwhelming, then this episode is for you! Join us as we delve into the secrets of thriving in marriage with a spouse in the house. Our special guest is Cynthia Ruchti, coauthor of the insightful book "Spouse in the House: Rearranging Our Attitudes to Make Room for Each Other." As fellow hope enthusiasts, I knew she would be the perfect guest on the program. Stay tuned for an inspiring and transformative conversation as we talk about How To Thrive in Marriage with a Spouse in the House. Quotables from the episode: As much as people talk about preparing financially for retirement, and as heavily we emphasis pre-marital counseling, who was talking about preparing relationally for retirement or other life-events and seasons when a husband and wife experience more togetherness than normal. It is an adjustment to share the same space 24/7, work around each other's routines, communicate expectations, and divide the chores. Not since the Industrial Revolution transformed American life from what had been largely agricultural and family-run businesses has there been such a seismic shift back to two spouses at home. “Any home, large or small, can feel like too tight quarters unless we learn how to relate to, appreciate, and work around each other's personalities and preferences when a health need, job layoff, retirement, temporary circumstance, or new working arrangement results in both spouses in the house for long stretches of time. “A husband and wife can rub each other the wrong way, find there's not enough oxygen in the house for both of them, and trip over each other's physical and emotional ‘stuff.' But there's hope for every hurdle, and a joy possibility for every relationship jolt.” It helps to remember that our husband is our brother in Christ, so how the Bible says to treat our brothers and sisters in Christ is how we are to treat our spouse. No human can satisfy you like Jesus, and no human will not satisfy you. But Jesus is your rock. Decide to pre-forgive your spouse of anything they do to you in the future. The best way to handle the spouse in the house is to begin and end the day with them and Jesus. There's no coasting in marriage. If we stop paddling, we don't just stay still. We're carried off to dangerous places or end up where we never intended to go.   Scripture References: Philippians 2:2 NIV—“Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” Philippians 2:3 NIV—“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interest but each of you to the interests of the others.” Philippians 2:4. NIV—“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus…”   Recommended Resources:  Spouse in the House: Rearranging Our Attitudes to Make Room for Each Other by Cynthia Ruchti and Becky Melby Empty Nest, Full Life: Discovering God's Best for Your Next by Jill Savage Brighter Skies Ahead: Forecasting a Full Life When You Empty the Nest by Terri DeBoer Rebuilding Trust Course The Wait Is Not Wasted Course No More Perfect Marriages by Mark and Jill Savage Men are Like Waffles, Women are Like Spaghetti: Understanding and Delighting in Your Differences by Bill & Pam Farrel Red-Hot Monogamy: Making Your Marriage Sizzle by Bill and Pam Farrel Appreciation: The Key to Unlocking Romance Hope for Marriage Struggles Creative Ways to Show Love During Times of Crisis How Do I Love You? 8 Different Ways to Show Love Great Love Prompts Great Sacrifice: It's What Love Does Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places You Are Loved by God YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

What happens when you and your spouse spend a lot of time together?  (Perhaps even *too much*  time ...) The reality is that sometimes, too much time together can start to feel like too much of a good thing. However, in no way does that suggest we don't love our spouse enough nor point to some significant weakness in our marriage.  Being in each other's presence all the time can put a bit of strain on read more...

Two's company, especially for those who love each other.

They know all too well how adjusting to a new, all-the-time closeness can cause the bliss of marriage to form blisters. Drawing from their experiences, and from men and women across the country in the same situation, they take a deep breath and dive into the root causes of the discomfort. Join us in today's episode as Cynthia digs into the ways God's Word addresses the topic, and offers practical tips for learning the spiritual, emotional, relational, and even physical steps that can help us replace irritation with peace. To be a love offering: “Have an attitude that keeps investing in making your relationships better. Here I am Lord.

You may remember Cynthia from https://podcast.writenowworkshop.com/episodes/reaching-out-with-deep-emotion-an-interview-with-cynthia-ruchti/ (Episode 240) when she spoke to us about writing with deep emotion. Cynthia gives us a great bird's eye view of what agents do and don't do, how that will differ among agencies, and things for you to consider in order to know when is the right time for you to look for an agent. Part of what a literary agent does is to eliminate all the reasons why an acquisitions editor would say no to a manuscript, she says. But depending on the agent, they also help manage an author's career.

Several years ago, I had to clean out my childhood home so we could rent it to pay for my father's care. My parents had lived there over forty years, accumulating furniture, papers, memorabilia, letters, photographs, and books. The job was overwhelming. This unpleasant job made me want to sort through my own home and give away what I didn't need. This week, Cynthia Ruchti was my guest and we discussed letting go of emotions, and attitudes as well as unused possessions.

Afraid of the Light with Cynthia Ruchti I’m so excited to be chatting with my friend Cynthia Ruchti on this week’s episode of Walk it Out! “Hoarding.” That word stirs images of piles of discarded trash, rotting food tucked inside broken refrigerators, and disheveled people so fixated on keeping every broken thing that they can’t... [Continue Reading] The post Walk it Out #127: Afraid of the Light with Cynthia Ruchti appeared first on Tricia Goyer.
