Building a Better "Us" - Episode 3

BUILDING JEWISH MARRIAGES PODCAST FROM NONPROFIT TOGETHER IN HAPPINESS WITH SUSAN BARTH Listen to the Building Jewish Marriages Podcast on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube Building a Better “Us” Episode 3 In this episode of Building Jewish Marriages, we focus on the importance of nurturing the “us” at the heart of a marriage. Rather than focusing only on what each partner needs individually, the conversation asks: What is right with our relationship, and what do we want more of? We share eight character traits and qualities that can help create a more harmonious and connected marriage. The episode ends with a practical challenge: choose one of these eight qualities, give it focused attention for a week, put it on the calendar, and then ask each other, “How was that? Did you feel any different?” The goal is to keep nurturing and strengthening the “us” - not just me and you, but the relationship you are building together. This episode also encourages couples to ask each other: “What would make our marriage better this year?” Small, intentional changes can help couples strengthen their relationship and communicate to their family that they matter and are priorities for one another. ------------------------------------------ Building Jewish Marriages is a podcast from nonprofit Together in Happiness, exploring practical tools, timeless Jewish wisdom, and real-life conversations to help build stronger, healthier, and more meaningful Jewish marriages.
