Grit & Grace

If you’re not growing, you’re dying. There is no such thing as a plateau, or a comfortable, even place. If you're relationship is not growing, it is dying. If your business is not growing, it’s dying. Where do you stand? Take an honest assessment of your life and ask yourself where you are growing and how that makes you feel? What area in your life is dying? And how does that make you suffer?

Take a listen as we share more about growth and as always we share our own stories and examples that relate to the topic.

The need for love and connection is something we ALL need in some form whether it's friends, family or a partner. Losing focus and meeting the need in a negative way can have us staying in relationships too long, accepting bad behavior and compromising our values...that's just some of the side effects of having that need met negatively.

Learn more about this need and how you can make it a win/win/win in getting this need met.

Significance is the 3rd of the 6 human needs in our series.

This is the need that makes us feel like we matter and what we do matters. When we meet this need in a negative way it is difficult to form strong friendships and find love.

Continuing on with #2 in our series on the 6 human needs we talk about UNCERTAINTY/VARIETY. The need for excitement and new experiences.

If this is one of your top 2 needs it's possible to easily lose focus and be seen as unreliable in relationships as well as becoming easily bored. There is a way to meet this need in a more positive way and add some balance in relation to the other needs.

Marriage/Relationships evolve. We don't stay in that lustfull state forever which is good because we'd never accomplish anything being so focused on that new love. Sometimes people get caught in the trap of thinking that THAT feeling should last forever. Well...get over it. It doesn't but it can grow into something amazing and not without it's ups and downs.

We covered the results of a recent study that revealed the BEST and WORST year of marriage and it's not the often referred to '7 year itch' year.

Also we shared things to avoid to keep a relationship strong. Needless to say we strongly disagreed with 2 out of the 7. Watch and weigh in with your opinions.

In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting and because we like to tackle the tough topics, we decided to have an honest discussion about gun laws. We knew this episode wasn't going to contribute to changing laws or minds for that matter, but when it comes to the latter, you just never know.

So, we started with a little history on the 2nd Amendment and court decisions from the 1800s that most likely helped to solidify the gun laws of the US. One thing that we realized that was quite eye-opening is how vague the language of the 2nd Amendment is. Look it up, you may be surprised.

We moved into the arguments that always surface when something of this magnitude happens and the state of affairs in other countries such as Canada, Australia and China.

CJ touched on something called killology and of course we touched on the baby steps of solutions to a seemingly epidemic way for individuals to take themselves out via mass shootings.

People are tired of 'thoughts and prayers' which no longer carry the intention they once did.

We'd love for you to add your voice to this controversial topic here or on our website at www.gritandgracetv.com

What's your number? Whether you think it's an incredibly telling indicator of a person's character and values or you consider it about as significant as their favorite color, chances are you've been asked your "number"—that is, the number of people with whom you've been sexually intimate—more than a few times.

In fact, discussing your sexual history is an almost inevitable part of a new relationship. But is your number really "normal"? And how does divulging it affect other people's opinions of you?

We share the highlights of a recent survey of over 2000 men and women in Europe and the US and you may be surprised at the results.

We had a blast running through the 80s sharing some major events and some of our own stories....pretty funny actually.

This was a decade of extremes - hair, shoulder pads, consumerism, inventions and more.

Watch and remember!

An unlikely episode but since everyone's starting to get football fever we thought we'd take a closer look at sports in general with the man/women perspective and have a little fun with it.

We share their own experiences in the world of sports and the growing female fan base.
