W06 Assignment: Intentional Marriage Rituals Audra Bronson FAML 110 Sister Anderson 2/17/2024

W06 Assignment: Intentional Marriage Rituals How did you present it? What did you include in your presentation about rituals? I made a PowerPoint about the materials regarding marriage rituals in chapters 8, 9, and 10. In my presentation, I included bullet points and clear definitions. I started by explaining what marriage rituals are. I opened the floor to hear my family's take on rituals. I didn’t want to spend 15 minutes talking to them and then having them share their thoughts. I wanted it to be a constant conversation as I was sharing my presentation. After my introduction, I shared about talking rituals. I specifically stated how couples with children have fifteen minutes of dedicated and freethinking conversations every day, they are well off. I invited them to implement this in their marriages. I moved on to explain the phases of marital rituals and the bullet points of ways to take back your marriage in everyday settings. I asked them to take notes of things they want to implement. I spent a good amount of time explaining the difference between love and intimacy. I asked my family to share their thoughts and we had a meaningful conversation based on the new information that was shared, their experiences, and overall suggestions. I ended the presentation with special occasions and marriage anniversaries. I went through each event including anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, and Birthdays. I ended the presentation by inviting them to implement the notes they had taken and to implement special rituals in their marriages. Who did you teach? How did it go?

I taught my family, specifically, my mother, father, and brother. It went incredibly well! They were very open and meek. I asked them to take notes throughout the presentation either on paper or on their phones. At the very end, we reviewed all the notes that had been taken and what specifically they wanted to implement. It was insightful for all of us. I learned from their comments and personal experiences. I was grateful they felt comfortable sharing and didn’t just sit and watch me present. As you gave your presentation, what part about rituals did the person you taught find most important? My brother found the difference between love and intimacy the most important. He shared that as a divorced man, he struggled with intimacy in his marriage. Things were surface- level towards the end. He explained that communication wasn’t deep and full of love. He felt that little implementations could have helped them tremendously. My parents loved the examples of different occasions such as anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, and Birthdays insightful. They felt like they were in a ”slow drift south” and wanted to change how they viewed these events. What ritual do you plan on implementing and or continuing to nurture within your relationship? I am not currently in a relationship, but a ritual I want to implement when I am in a relationship is a talk ritual. Similar to Chapter 8, I want to have a “mocktail hour” every night where we make fun drinks and sit for at least 30 minutes to talk and decompress. I think it is something to look forward to and an easy way to get into the habit of connecting through conversation.
