You, Me then We

Never Stop Dating Your Spouse!

We love to date. We love to get dressed up. We love to spoil each other. We love quality, uninterrupted time to ourselves. In a quality, healthy relationship… who wouldn’t?

It’s so important to build connection, build trust, build friendship… and continue to pour into your foundations. Never stop trying!

Keep the excitement and passion racing, just as it was in the beginning! 🥰

Who we marry is one of the most important decisions in life!

🙌🏾 We love this quote from Nathan Workman.

Following your choice…

What are your levels of Happiness?
What are your levels of Growth?
What are your levels of Success?

Do you see an increase in these areas on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis?

If you can’t see the positives right now… do you feel like your working toward a higher level in each area? It’s ever growing, you should always be moving forward and getting better.

We can truly say, although we don’t feel like we have reached the heights of where we would like to be, our lives have been truly enhanced by the choice we made to spend our lives with one another.

We didn’t just say “I love you, let’s get married”. We became friends, we journeyed with one another, we shared our lives, vulnerabilities, truths. We prayed, sought wise counsel, prayed some more, had pre marital counselling, read books, studied… we knew the importance of our decision and will stand by that till death us for part. Also… we continue to do all of the above everyday… it doesn’t stop once you say “I do!”

As an individual, spend time pondering on the questions above, then come together as a couple and talk about the positives, share your worries, make a plan to move forward.

You’ve got this 💪🏾 but if you’re unsure where to start, get in touch and we will help guide your couple time with simple sentence starters and tools to help you listen and share with confidence.

Love Always

Gentle Communication 😊

No. 1 of our 5 Cs.

Relationships are built on communication. We talk everyday… we share how our day has gone, what’s for dinner and our daily to dos. We rush around, squeeze it in where we can and talk around (literally, while they’re in front of you 😌) the kids…




BUT…




There comes a time where our communication needs a gentle touch.

There is a need for us to be gentle when we talk deeply with one another. We must put aside all distractions… show that we’re listening, repeat back (if there is a need to show understanding), acknowledge your partners feelings, empathise and be present.

Being gentle in this way will help you partner feel seen, heard and valued in your relationship ❤️

Top Tip: Schedule deep conversations and ensure they are at a time that suit you both.

Enjoy these moments with your partner, they will help you deepen your connection.

Love always

Appreciate Your Differences ❤️






A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together, it’s when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy and appreciate their differences.

Mental Health Awareness Week 2021

Mental Health in Relationships ❤️

Following all we have been through during the Pandemic, we know more than ever how important our connections are with others: our family, our friends and our community. When we are socially connected we are happier, physically healthier and live longer, with fewer mental health problems.

We don’t believe that connection is the quantity of your interactions but the quality of your interactions. Living in conflict or within a toxic relationship is more damaging than being alone.

This not only impacts you, but having children, it impacts them too. Many children and young people attending mental health services are due to family relationship problems. Continual negative interactions, with your spouse, increase your risk of depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation.

Preventative interventions are so important, for you, your relationship and your family. There are many services out there including; counselling, one to one and group coaching, yearly conferences, workshops, webinars etc.

Here are You, Me then We, we are here to help... this Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 and always. Send us a message and reach out because we don’t want you to go alone. We have so much to offer and so many places to sign post you, that there will definitely be something to meet yours and your family’s needs.

We all have Mental Health… let’s work on keeping it GOOD Mental Health!

We are intentional about our marriage...

And that is what lead us to .

Tonight it is our privilege to be on the guest panel for Family Life UK’s ‘Couple Talk’.

Couples from all around the world gather together (via Zoom) to learn from others, on different topics, that will help strengthen, encourage and enhance their marriage.

Family Life UK have been a big part of our journey, as we continue to intentionally invest into our marriage. We have been a part of their ‘A Day Together’, a ‘Together Group’ and have even shared our experience at one of their conferences. Tonight, we get to share again! ☺️

The Family Life events and resources allow us to refocus on what is important... YOU, ME, WE and OUR MARRIAGE.

If you are free tonight, we would love your support. It’s FREE to register and you can do that through the link in the bio.

What do couples say about Couple Talk?
“Couples Talk is a brilliant way to remain focused on enhancing your marriage, with sessions that are brimming with wisdom and experience. I’d advise anyone who is serious about keeping their marriage fresh to give them a try.”

Hope to see you there ❤️

Right or Right?

It’s not about being right by making your point, proving your spouse wrong and “I told you so!”... Instead is about being right through understanding, compromise and forgiveness.

Be the right person for your spouse and not the right person in your relationship.

It’s all about the little things...

Check out our post “Things I Miss.”

For me (Mr Coo) one of the things I missed was holding hands.

There’s just something about it... holding hands whilst walking, Mrs Coo leaning in. My fingers intertwined with her slightly slimmer ones... it’s as close as we can get. She tilts her head towards the top of my arm (because she can’t quite reach my shoulder 🥰)... and we don’t have to say a thing.

I love those moments. They’re priceless.

❤️ What is one of the ‘little things’ that you love? ❤️

Let us know in the comments below 👇🏾 we’d love to know what makes you feel loved.

The greatest gift of You, Me then We ❤️

You made us three!

It’s a Coo Life 🥰
