In marriage, more often than not couples come from different backgrounds and have different experiences growing up which shapes "their" parenting styles and beliefs. For example, one might have had very strict parents with many rules and structure while the other spouse may have had very lenient parents with little structure. While neither one is right or wrong, our reality of how we were raised can shape our perception on how we should parent our kids. It is vital for couples to talk about "how" they are going to parent their kids and make sure they are on the same page with how they do it. If couples are not on the same page with how they raise their kids, it can cause some serious issues in the marriage. In fact, many divorces happen because of this. 

In this Episode, Nick and Amy interview Dustin and Alana with Marriage In Action and talk about the 15 things parents need to be on the same page about. Some of these include:

• How you are going to discipline your kids
• Who your kids friends are and who they spend time with
• Your expectations and consequences 
• The entertainment your child is engaged in such as video games, movies, reading and music
• Standards and beliefs you are going to teach your kids (religious, political etc)
