Because Marriages Work (B.M.W. Pod.)

In this episode we share some of our lessons in 8 years of being married.

I am sure that we could go on and on if given the chance but this is 8 of our lessons.

What have you learnt in your time of being together or which of the lessons stood out to you the most? share with us.

(P.S the lessons shared are not in the context of abusive behaviour)

What do healthy boundaries look like in marriage. 

Why are boundaries important and how do we uphold , respect boundaries without feelings of guilt, contempt?

In this episode we hope to answer all these and more. 

So dive in!!!

Expectations unexpressed and unexamined is premeditated resentment and a recipe for frustration

Unmet expectation is found at the heart of a lot of relational tension and understanding how to navigate this would bring a lot of relational freedom. 

As usual this episode is practical, real and light hearted. 

Gender roles is one area that can never be overlooked in the lifetime of a marriage. Life is full of demands and responsibilities and the humans in the marriage must respond to keep their union living, moving, well, and balanced. it can become problematic when there are differing views, assumptions or perceptions between any given couple that guide how roles and responsibilities are decided and enagaed. 

If whatever system has been employed begins to affect the health of the marriage, then it is worth reviewing, as in our view, each partner in a marriage must feel like a part of the whole, not the sacrifice for the whole.

On this episode we tease through what understanding marriage as a team looks like and how that looks like for us.

Marriage requires ongoing commitment and the truth is we cannot expect to maintain connection when we are not creating the context or avenues for it. There are so many reasons why couples grow apart and a marriage loses its spark. It is very easy for marriage to settle into dangerous comfort zone. In this episode we speak to an email we received from a listener about disconnection in their marriage and we tease through the layers that can contribute to dicsonnection and how to repriortize connection.
