You’re living the dream, right?
Every day you wake up in a castle that is a bit drafty, but hey it’s home.
You have those who wait on you hand and foot, food prepared at the ring of a tiny little bell and loved ones who have magical powers that help you conjure up snowmen that love warm hugs.
Oh yes, that’s right. That’s not your life. It’s the plot to Frozen, the movie your kids have lovingly encouraged you to watch at least 1.3 million times since it was released.
After spending quite a bit of time with Olaf and the gang, I have learned that even though the characters from Frozen might live a little differently from our every day lives as husbands and wives, we can actually learn a lot from them.
In fact, there are 20 sayings and quotes from the movie that can actually teach us a lot about our marriages and relationships.

1. LET IT GO! LET IT GO! : Let’s start with the most popular saying of the movie. Every man, woman and child has said this phrase at least one hundred times since seeing the film. Being married can sometimes be a little hard! Through fighting on which way the toilet paper roll goes and putting the seat down when you are finished or deciding on where to go for dinner… you’re going to have your battles. But learn to “choose your battles” and realize that most of the time, you should just “let it go.”
2. HEY! WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT YOU! ALL GOOD THINGS…ALL GOOD THINGS: When you leave the house and you have a few minutes to talk to your co-workers, brothers, parents or friends… remember to always talk positively about your spouse. It’s easy to sometimes rant about how gross it is that your wife pees with the door open or how she gets angry over the littlest things because it’s that time of the month, but always remember she is your wife. Your bestie. And you should always say good things.
3. BIG SUMMER BLOWOUT: Here’s the thing – your wife CAN’T pass up a good deal. She can’t. It isn’t possible. When there is a sale going on, let her get it. And when she comes home and shows you all of the things she got, but actually saved you money because of how discounted it was… listen… or at least act like you are listening.
4. YEAH, WHY?… YEAH, WHY?: Questions. Something that if you have children, your wife hears ALLLLLL dayyyy long. Sometimes she just needs to relax and wants you to answer the questions for her. So, when the kids say, “Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mommy! MOOOOOM!” and you are home… step in and offer help.
5. GO AWAY, ANNA. OKAY, BYE: Which leads us to this next quote. Sometimes your wife just needs space. It isn’t anything personal – but after a long day, she may just want to go to sleep. She may literally be exhausted. Or she may just want to lay in a warm bath and soak in the bubbles for a little bit. Give her her “me” time that she deserves and your time will be next.
6. CAN I SAY SOMETHING CRAZY? You probably know by now, that your wife is a little crazy. We all are – we’re women. But embrace the crazy and have fun with us! Be sponteous and do the unexpected. Every marriage needs some spice every once in a while.
7. WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? There are going to be nights where you literally are so bored you feel like you have NOTHING to do. You may think that going to bed at 8pm is the only option as an “old married couple” now. If you can’t think of any fun dates or yummy restaurants to try… remember that you have each other. And that is all you really need!
8. NOW THAT’S NICE, I MIGHT CRY: Emotions. Hormones. Feelings. These are all REAL things that EVERY woman has. It is completely normal for her to be okay one minute and be in a flood of tears the next…so don’t worry. 🙂 Sometimes you have to let her cry – it’s healthy. Just be there for her and let her know you love her.
9. I LIKE WARM HUGS: After {or during} the cry fest… often times the answer is, HUGS. Give your lady a hug. She will love feeling your arms around her, letting her know that you are there for her. Hug her in the mornings. Hug her goodbye. Hug her hello. Hug her when she cooks dinner. There are few things more amazing than a real, tight hug from your man.
10. CONCEAL, DON’T FEEL: Actually… DON’T conceal. Don’t keep secrets. Tell your wife everything – and she will do the same. When you have that open communication and are able to tell each other everything, you feel closer than ever. Is she your best friend? I bet you, you are HER best friend. And best friends tell each other EVERYTHING. So be the listening ear to her stories and she will want to be the listening ear to yours too.
11. DON’T KNOW IF I’M ELATED OR GASSY. BUT I’M SOMEWHERE IN THAT ZONE: Oh, gentlemen. We could talk about your gas… but let’s talk about being elated. Try to always remember the feelings you felt the day you fell in love with your wife. Those butterflies in your stomach will hopefully always be there. Work on strengthening your marriage through fun surprises, late night talks, real kisses and exciting dates. Be excited to ALWAYS see your wife.
12. THE SKYS AWAKE, SO I’M AWAKE! SO WE HAVE TO PLAY: Never let a minute pass by – enjoy it all. EVERY. SINGLE. MINUTE. Take it all in! Whether you are newly married, have five kids, or are empty-nesters again… it is NEVER too late {and you are NEVER too old!} to have FUN together. Make memories. And don’t forget to laugh.
13. YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP YOUR DISTANCE ANYMORE: Forgive her quickly. When imperfections and disagreements arise, it is often times a good idea to walk away and take a breather. But come back – talk it out. And figure it out.
14. YOU SACRIFICED YOURSELF FOR ME?: When you get married, you create a partnership – and you make a lot of promises. You probably felt like the day you said, “I DO” you would literally would do ANYTHING for her. Keep those promises. Forever.
15. IF THERE WERE ONLY SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT LOVED YOU: Never forget, that you ARE loved. Even when you may not feel it. Even when you feel sad or discouraged. Even when you feel absolutely alone and like nobody is there for you. Remember… You are never alone and there is someone out there that DOES really love you.
16. LET THE STORM RAGE ON! THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY: The storms of life can be overwhelming. Trials come, big and small. Sometimes SO big, you aren’t sure if you can hold on any longer. But hang on to each other. Let your trials strengthen your relationship. You will often times be surprised on how much stronger your bond with each other will be, after you make it through the storm.
17. SOME PEOPLE ARE WORTH MELTING FOR: She melted YOU! And you melted HER! That’s why you are married.
18. HANDS DOWN, THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE: Make EVERY day, the BEST day. Hold her hand and take her out. Send her a text just because you miss her. Compliment her when you think she looks pretty. And treat her like a queen.
19. ONLY THE ACT OF TRUE LOVE WILL THAW A FROZEN HEART: When you are truly in love, your heart will be softened. There will be days where you feel upset or angry. In fact, I have heard couples say, “I love him… I just don’t like him right now.” When you feel that way, make a list of the reasons you love her and as you think of the good qualities she has, you will begin to like her again.
20. LOVE IS PUTTING SOMEONE ELSE’S NEEDS BEFORE YOUR OWN: Lastly, but probably the most important of all… remember what LOVE really is and that some people truly are worth melting for.
