Homesteading for Beginners

020. Homesteading Couples: How To Get Your Spouse On Board


Listen Later

What do you do when your spouse or partner is not on board with your homesteading dreams? This is something I hear people struggling with all the time. One spouse is all into the idea of homesteading and the other has big reservations or is very against the idea.

Recently, I coach a member of the Homesteading for Beginners community through this very topic. I decided a podcast episode on this topic would be good for those dealing with the same thing.

I didn't poll any of my audience but I imagine some of the objections from the spouse that is not into the idea of homesteading might be concerned with:

  • the cost of starting a homestead
  • giving up modern convenience
  • fitting in as a homesteader.
  • their kids will be deprived and sheltered
  • Family and friends will judge their lifestyle.
  • Added work to their already busy life.

If any of these objections resonate with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. You can send me a direct message on Instagram. If I didn't list an objection send me that as well.

This is a 2 part series. I'll go through these 3 objections this episode and the other 3 next. And hopefully, help both spouses or partners see both sides of the coin and some ideas on how to move forward.
