Crossing Boundaries

In this episode we will be discussing the importance of understanding your money, especially in terms of money in relationships. Did you know that 78% of US households live paycheck to paycheck, and that the number one cause of divorce in North America is money fights?

We're not ok with this! Especially when it's something that can be prevented with smart money management, budgeting, and living within your means.

We'll be sharing some of our story about our struggles with finances, and what we're doing now. We are also talking about the program that helped us get financially fit; Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey.

Part 1:
A complete person is a mature person, able to do all the things that adult life and relationship requires: give and receive love, be independent and self-sufficient, live out values honestly, be responsible, have self-confidence, deal with problems and failures, live out their talents, and have a life

Able to Forgive

Part 2:
The degree that either is less than complete as a person, the oneness will suffer under the strain of that incompleteness.

If you are asking the relationship to complete you, the relationship will break down. 

Don’t marry out of weakness, don't marry someone to make up for what you do not possess on your own, or out of your incompleteness 

Part 3:
Take responsibility for the treasures of our soul 
-feelings, attitudes, behaviors, choices, limits, desires, thoughts, values, talents, love 

Getting the help that you need

Working on yourself for YOU, not for someone else

We’re not experts. We’re just looking to engage the community around us. We believe our world can be deeply impacted by having healthier relationships with each other.

We formatted this episode in a creative way to define what healthy relationships look like. We created a Q&A with each other asking the following questions:

1. What are some unhealthy behaviors or patterns you have observed or personally experienced? 
2. Where did your information on relationships come from? 
3. What’s a behavior you had to change to make our relationship more successful?  
4. What’s the image of a successful relationship in the past vs now? 
5. At the moment that we met, were we thinking of marriage?

 At the end of the episode, we talk about healthy dating. Our takeaways to healthy dating:

1. Must be two, healthy individuals.  
2. Be comfortable with who you are, what you like about yourself as well as opportunities for growth. 
3. Chase your passion and calling instead of chasing people.
4. When you do find that person…keep doing what you're doing! Follow the call on your life and be patient.

This podcast seeks to engage all people around the world regardless of what they believe. However, as the creators of this medium, our framework is Biblically based. We recognize that there is a lot of confusion as it relates to healthy relationships, so we are hopeful that this podcast can provide clarity and meaningful discussion. 

Our Mission: 

We aim to bring clarity to a generation that is searching for stability in an “anything goes” culture.

Our Vision:

We believe that through the restoration of the family, cities across the globe will be transformed to bring glory to God.

Why?

Marriage has gotten a bad rap lately. Divorce rates are at or above 50%. We want to re-write the script and Make Marriage Cool Again, the way we believe God intended marriage to be; with both partners giving themselves voluntarily and sacrificially to each other, with a mutual love commitment. A union based on equal and mutual sharing guided by love, with sacred vows that were never to be broken. But we can’t get here because of the noise and distractions that are clouding the way people see God and each other. So every opportunity we get to clear a pathway for people to receive the love of God, we take to put a stake in the ground.
