Is There Too Much Emphasis on the Wedding?
Tracy and I explore people's reasons not to have a wedding, especially for budget newlyweds when the marriage is SO much more important than the wedding itself.
People delay marriage unnecessarily and end up asking themselves, is it worth spending money on a wedding? Is it worth it to have a wedding? Are weddings overrated? Should we have a small wedding? Since we are budget newlyweds, should we have a budget wedding? Some of the research we did for this article shows that small weddings are best for longevity in marriage.
We were surprised when we saw this and maybe that means there are reasons to elope so you don't have to say, I spent too much on my wedding. We outline several solid alternatives for getting married sooner, not putting so much emphasis on the perfect wedding and maybe revisiting it down the road.

Thanks for listening!
We’ve got 10 things we wish we knew before we got married.
Why?
How you will feel after you hear this...
1. Marriage is a marathon, not a sprint.
2. Marriage success comes from repetition. You practice being married every day. Am I practicing marriage or practicing divorce dating
3. Deprioritizing everything over your marriage. Work kids family
4. Always act like you are 35 - lots of people you can model. Ask people that have experience. Take their best practices and use them. Keep that young energy. Date night flirting
5. Marriage is about the other person and it’s a daily dying of self. It’s a daily practice of working the selfish out. When that happens you will submit to one another.
6. Plan to be married forever. Don’t stay if there is abuse, mental physical
7. Never sacrifice your spouse's feelings for the benefit of your family or others. Make your partner feel protected and that you have their back
8. Celebrate your partner's differences. Yin Yang. Don’t pick at them recognize they are enhancing your weakness
9. Do put off doing don’t nice things. Continually the love bank. Don’t expect anything back
10. The magic happens in the failures
How to Repair Broken Trust
In any relationship trust in one another is key. A key component that threatens trust is fear.
Social media Story- Talking to someone on SM about things that you are afraid to talk to your partner about.
Give Examples. Give Subject matter
How you feel about what’s going on at work Their appearance
You need more attention that you are getting
This action unknowingly break the trust that was built up over the years.
Then avoidance and shame
avoiding the consequences and confrontation.
This is a great analogy for primary or spousal relationships too.
1. Be open to keeping the trust. The person who was lied to gets a pass to ask any questions, check the phone, check whatever at anytime. This seems invasive at first but will minimize naturally with time. The person that lost trust needs to let this happen without getting in your feelings or retaliating.
2. Discuss items that bother you or that you’re concerned with. Bring why you are suspicious and what the person can do to alleviate your fear.
3. Talk through issues even if you’re scared or uncomfortable; you’ll be so glad you did. Do this when there is no emotion involved. During basic tasks, cooking, running errands. Or just sitting down with a glass of wine or over dinner to talk thru it. Not being up and throwing in the other's face but talking thru the issue openly to take trust to the next step. Ask questions and answer them openly and without hesitation.
4. Get help. A coach, a professional, to walk through it with you if necessary.
5. Meet things head-on and never hide from the challenges. If you’ve already gone down the wrong road, stop.
Admit you are wrong and work through it. You can do it. You can push through.
What would your relationship be like if it was perfect?
Myth #1: Perfect relationship partners are totally compatible.
Myth #2: Perfect relationship partners have “equal appetites.”
Myth #3: Great partners always put their relationship first.
Myth #4: Great partners are never attracted to anyone else.
Myth #5: Perfect relationships do not have serious conflicts.
Myth #6: Perfect relationship partners are always “on the same team.”
We are discussing how couples have different ways of being married.
The secret to a great marriage is deciding what you want your marriage to be about – and don't just give me that gauzy, dreamy poetry about love. Be practical. Be specific.
