Francie Winslow
About this episode

In this final episode of the Intentional Intimacy series, Francie invites you to reflect, remember, and recalibrate.

Over the past nine weeks, we’ve explored simple yet powerful practices to foster deeper connection in your marriage. Today’s episode offers a tenth—and essential—idea: pausing to remember what has worked, what has blessed your marriage, and what you want to carry into the next season.

Whether it’s kisses in the kitchen, body awareness, or shared breath, this episode will help you name the rhythms that bring life and intimacy, and gently let go of what didn’t fit this season.

Francie also shares how she and Wyatt use this simple rhythm in their own marriage and why remembering is more than nostalgic—it's a spiritual discipline that breeds gratitude, clarity, and hope.

Listen in and be encouraged to swim against the current of busyness and towards intentional connection.
