How to Navigate Marriage icebergs
"Marriage icebergs" refer to the challenges and obstacles that couples may face in their relationships. These challenges may be related to communication, trust, values, intimacy, money, parenting, or external stressors, among other things.
The term "iceberg" is used metaphorically to suggest that these challenges may be hidden or difficult to see on the surface, but they can have a significant impact on a relationship if not addressed. Just as an iceberg can sink a ship, marriage icebergs can cause significant damage to a relationship if they are not recognized and addressed.
Some common challenges or "icebergs" that marriages may face include:
- Communication problems: Difficulty communicating effectively and understanding each other's needs and desires can be a major challenge for couples.
- Infidelity: Trust can be a major issue in a relationship after one partner has cheated.
- Differences in values or goals: Couples may have different values or goals for their relationship or individual lives, which can lead to conflict.
- Lack of intimacy or connection: A lack of physical or emotional intimacy can be a major challenge for couples.
- Money issues: Money can be a major source of tension in relationships, especially if there are disagreements about spending and saving habits.
- Differences in parenting styles: Parenting differences can be a major challenge for couples, especially if they have different approaches to discipline or child-rearing.
- Stress and external pressures: External stressors, such as work or family commitments, can put a strain on a relationship.
It's not uncommon for marriages to face challenges and obstacles, but it can be difficult to know how to navigate these tough times on your own. Working with a coach can be a helpful way to overcome marriage challenges and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.
Here are a few ways that a coach can help:
- Provide an unbiased perspective: A coach can provide an objective perspective on your marriage and offer insights and feedback that may be difficult to see on your own.
- Help you communicate more effectively: Communication is a key component of any healthy relationship, and a coach can help you and your spouse learn new communication skills and strategies to better understand each other's needs and desires.
- Identify and address underlying issues: Sometimes, marriage challenges stem from deeper issues that may not be immediately obvious. A coach can help you and your spouse explore and address these underlying issues in a safe and supportive environment.

Procrastination is often referred to as the thief of time, but it can also be seen as a thief of life purpose. When we put off important tasks, we are not only wasting valuable time, but we are also delaying the progress we could be making towards our goals and aspirations. Procrastination can take many forms, from avoiding a difficult task to getting lost in distractions such as social media or television. It can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and low self-worth. We may feel like we are not capable of achieving our goals, and we may even begin to believe that we are not worthy of success. Strategies to overcome procrastination: Set specific, achievable goals. Break down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks. Create a schedule and stick to it. Minimize distractions. Take regular breaks to prevent burnout. A coach can help you overcome procrastination by assisting you to identify the underlying causes of your procrastination and developing a plan to address them. They can also provide accountability and support as you work to overcome your procrastination habits. A coach can also help you to stay on track and motivated by providing you with the tools, strategies and techniques to be productive and overcome procrastination. In conclusion, procrastination is not only a thief of time, but it can also be a thief of life purpose. It can hold us back from achieving our goals, and it can lead to negative thoughts and feelings. By setting specific goals, breaking down tasks, creating a schedule, and minimizing distractions, and seeking help of a coach we can overcome procrastination and move forward towards our aspirations.

As we go through life, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of big goals and aspirations. We often focus on the "big stuff" and ignore the small things that are happening around us. But the small things in life are often the ones that have the biggest impact. They are the little acts of kindness that brighten someone's day, the simple pleasures of nature that bring us peace and calm, and the small things we do for ourselves to take care of our bodies and minds. Ignoring the small things can lead us to miss out on so much of the beauty and joy in life. It can also cause us to become agitated and complain about our inability to achieve the big stuff. This can be especially true when we're faced with challenges or setbacks. It's easy to get discouraged and focus on what we're not able to do or achieve. But it's important to remember that the small things in life can have a huge impact. They can provide us with the support and direction we need to navigate through life's challenges. For example, when we're feeling overwhelmed, a small act of kindness from a friend can go a long way in lifting our spirits. Or when we're feeling down, a simple walk in nature can bring us a sense of peace and calm. So, rather than ignoring the small stuff, let's make a conscious effort to be grateful for it. Let's take the time to acknowledge and celebrate the small victories and accomplishments that come our way. Let's be intentional in acknowledging the small things in our lives and feel the beauty and joy they bring. And let's remember to thank God for all the small things that bring support and direction to our lives. By focusing on the small things, we can open ourselves up to a world of abundance and fulfillment. We can find joy and meaning in the little things, even when the big stuff doesn't go as planned. So let's embrace the small stuff and let it guide us through life's challenges and obstacles. Ayo Mould Co-Founder Living Springs Consulting Inc.
