What if happiness in your marriage and family isn’t something you chase—but something you design?

In this heart-opening episode of Marriage IQ, we share how one of the hardest seasons of our lives—moving states, navigating financial stress, and supporting our kids through emotional and physical struggles—led to a powerful discovery: the Live Happy List.

The Birth of the Live Happy List
When our world felt uncertain, we needed something to anchor us. Through prayer, creativity, and a lot of trial and error, we created a simple foam board filled with small, medium, and big goals designed to spark joy, laughter, and meaningful connection. It changed everything.

What You'll Learn:

• How to create your own Live Happy List as a couple, family, or individual

• Why setting intentional goals improves connection, resilience, and joy

• Ideas for incorporating goals by season, mood, and energy level

• How to adapt when life doesn’t go as planned—and still find joy

From living room dance parties to big dreams like New Year’s Eve in NYC, we share how small acts of joy can carry you through big challenges—and how intentional goal-setting became a rhythm of healing, fun, and family bonding.

This episode is for you if...

• You feel stuck in survival mode and want more joy

• You're ready to replace "someday" with "let's do it"

Whether you're just surviving or ready to thrive, this episode will inspire you to create happiness on purpose—and bring your loved ones along for the journey.
