Real Love with Lonnie and Kara

08/23/2026

What if the way you’re loving your partner isn’t the way they feel loved?

We all give and receive love differently. That’s why knowing your partner’s love language matters—but learning it is only the beginning. The real magic happens when you operate in it intentionally. ❤️

Words of affirmation. Acts of service. Receiving gifts. Quality time. Physical touch.

💭 Couples check-in:
What speaks to your heart? And are you loving your partner in a language they can truly hear?

Because love isn’t just a feeling… it’s a choice, an action, and a daily decision. 💕

Know them. Love them. Live it.

Prioritize your marriage.
Kids grow up.
Parents pass.
Friends come and go.
In the end, it’s just the two of you so make sure your bond is unbreakable.

Many of you know Kara through Hello, MaximizHer—a journey that began as a blog, grew into a podcast, and continues to evolve as God opens new doors.

Today, we’re excited to share the launch of Kara’s newest YouVersion 7-day devotional:

📖 Hello, MaximizHer! | 7 Days to Fresh Faith, Purpose & Joy

To see this devotional available on the world’s leading Bible app is both humbling and a reminder of what God can do when we simply say “yes.”
