From Side-by-Side to In Sync: Planning Together as a Couple (Ep. 126)


Listen Later

What if the missing piece in your family’s rhythm isn’t a better planner—but better planning together?

In this Valentine’s Day episode, my husband Ben joins me to talk honestly about what it looks like to plan as a couple—and why it matters more than we ever expected. For years, we planned separately in our own lanes. On the surface, everything worked. But underneath, we were living side-by-side instead of truly in step with one another.

That all changed when we began using a 90-day planning approach as a family.

In this conversation, we unpack:

  • Why planning together strengthens communication in marriage
  • How shared planning clarifies family priorities and direction
  • The unexpected ways planning can help couples serve each other better
  • What shifted when we moved from individual plans to a shared vision
  • A realistic look at what it’s like when one partner loves planning—and the other doesn’t

You’ll hear both perspectives—the planner wife and the initially reluctant husband—as we share the wins, challenges, and practical insights we’ve learned along the way.

Whether you’re married, engaged, or simply craving more alignment in your family life, this episode will leave you inspired and equipped with simple ideas to start planning together in a way that feels life-giving, not overwhelming.
