Know thyself and what not.  Today's Marriage Minute is a challenge  to get to know yourself an build a framework to success.</p>

<p><strong>Marriage is a game of offense and defense</strong> but not in the way that you think.  Consider your strengths the things that bring you and your spouse together.  Your weaknesses on the other hand push you apart.  Our goal as a couple should be to build on our strengths and defend against our weaknesses.</p>

<p><strong>Surround yourself with people and visit places that encourage your marriage.</strong></p>

<p>This has been your marriage minute.  Join us for the next Life in the Clouds podcast.</p>

<p>So I asked my bride to give me a topic to speak about and she said I should go with what we know... <strong>Change</strong>. So today's Marriage minutes is to be transformational.</p>

<p>One of the things that happens in marriage is living life on default.  While establishing a rhythym is good, healthy even, it can also lead to bad patterns.  In order to break out of these habits you have to change things up.</p>

<p>What do you change?  here is wher eI throw converntional wisdom out the door.  I don't want you to pick some gigantic goal.  I want you to choose something small and focus on that.  <strong>Create some positive momentum</strong> by taking incrememtal steps each day.</p>

<p>This has been your marriage minute.</p>

<p>My bride says to tell you, "<strong>Change is good, change things up</strong>."</p>

<p>I decided to do something different today.  We are struggling to make time for our longer episode so I decided to record something short to keep the RSS feed fresh.  Let's talk about communication in today's marriage minutes, <em>which is longer than a minute.</em></p>

<p>Don't forget to like, review and subscribe to Life in the Clouds.  Let me know if this format works.  I can do a few of these each week in between our longer form episodes.</p>
