I just can’t win.  Seriously, I can’t, and neither can my spouse.  Most days and discussions lately feel like one losing battle after another (we know you can relate).  But is a marriage really about winning?  Are relationships supposed to be a competition?  Why is connecting so dang difficult?  On this episode we give you an intimate look inside how our conversations tend go sideways and how we completely miss what the other person is trying to say.  We divulge the truth behind our feelings of deflation and disappointment we experience in our marriage and why it’s so difficult to communicate and connect.  If that wasn’t enough we also discuss how disheartening and completely frustrating it can be to have your spouse side-step important conversations with their ex to avoid conflict.  I guess you can’t win or lose if you choose to not engage in the first place.  What’s ironic about this is that by avoiding potential conflict on the periphery (with your ex) you actually tend to create it internally (with your spouse).  Speaking of conflict and feeling like you’ve lost, what to do when your spouse invites unwanted guests for the holidays without discussing it with you first?!  Can you really un-invite the already invited; especially if they are trouble seekers?  Is there a win in the this situation?  Listen to this episode to find out!  Enjoy!

Our Purpose: Why is talking about blended families and life in general important? Because we believe that we can do better than what statistics say about second marriages lasting, about blending families making it, that’s why! A 70% divorce rate statistic for remarriages with children is simply unacceptable! Spreading life lessons, passing along wisdom gained from experience and bringing to light what is often happily left in the dark to hide, is how we all can learn to be better, to do better the second time around (in a #blen
