TAKE HOME POINTS FROM DR DISHA SPATH

1. If you are in consumer debt, use the debt snowball principle to climb out of debt and learn how to manage money without being too overwhelmed. Paying off the smallest bill can provide motivation and build up momentum to keep going. 
2. Cut down the fixed costs (phone plans-switching carriers, cancel unused subscriptions, change grocery stores-from Expensive to Aldi & Walmart, downsize from a big house to renting a smaller place, moving closer to grandparents to help with childcare costs. 
3. Raise your children without a silver spoon to teach them to know the importance of money and better equip them to be independent later in life.  
4. Paying off student loans may or may not be your best financial decision. Although this was the right decision for her, she emphasizes that this is not a one size fits all answer. You have to look at your unique circumstances. Do you work for a public or private institution? What is your debt to income ratio? How do you feel about debt? Is it causing you anxiety or fear?

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER

Medicine:

• Why Tim wanted to practice rural medicine
• What stalking a medical school classmate looks like
• Leaving love notes during medical school
• How having good mentors can make a huge difference
• Where you grow is not in the roses 

Marriage: 

• How a marriage can feel bigger than the individual
• Living in a trailer like vagabonds after the birth of their second child?
• How they worked through the “I don’t love you anymore” 
• How Tim was her Knight in Shining Armour

Love Languages:

• Why knowing your needs is KEY
• Why you need to learn to love yourself before loving your spouse
• Why knowing your spouses needs is important
• Whether marriages based on love or trust
• How letting each other to do things separately builds trust

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Drs. May & Tim Hindmarsh

1. In a successful marriage, the relationship is often bigger than either person. 
2. “God tells us to love our enemies, but I am not going to marry them.” Although love is elevating, marriage is not ONLY based on love.
3. The gravity with which a relationship orbits is trust. Although I do not always agree with my spouse, do I trust them 100%. 
4. It is getting through the hardships that make or break a relationship. The easy stuff...the fun stuff...the honeymoon stuff does not matter. We are ALL good at supporting our spouse through good times. It becomes more difficult to be supportive when the bad times roll in.

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• Where am I looking for happiness?

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Dr. Jessie Mahoney

1. When feeling stuck, Jessie loves to ask herself two questions: 
   • What would love do?
   • What would compassion do? Love would let people show up exactly as they are. Sometimes we cannot fix things. Most of the time the other person needs to do the fixing and we can just love and have compassion. Having more compassion for herself would also allow her to grow from any situation in life regardless if other people would see it as a failure or argument or strain….
2. The grass is greener where you water it!!!!! It is not necessarily better somewhere else.
3. Boundaries come from love. 
4. We spend a year planning our wedding and no time planning our marriage.

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• What would love do?
• What would compassion for me do?

A Second Marriage Fairy Tale with Dr. Milene Argo

I encourage you to reach out to me at [email protected] with any questions, concerns, or suggestions!

Want a free copy of The Medical Marriage Survival Guide: An Instruction Manual For Physicians in Love E-book/Workbook? → Visit https://library.medicinemarriageandmoney.com/waitlist and I will send it to you!

Want to work with me 1:1 to take your relationship to the next level? → sign up at https://www.medicinemarriageandmoney.com and click “I AM READY” for a free 60-minute introductory coaching consult! I will do the rest!

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE

Medicine: 

• When a spouse thinks “being on-call” is something we do for ourselves
• Going through divorce her last year of residency
• Her Mother’s anti-western-medicine beliefs and how this has affected their relationship
• Why she now “skips into work” to see her patients

Marriage: 

• Redefining “her type” and her definition of husband potential
• Falling in love with her personal trainer
• Knowing when to leave and when to stay

Money:

• Her new 2021 goal is to tackle personal finance!

Renewal:

• How her personal trainer Eric rescued her, his persistence, and their magical kiss
• Growing through the differences she had with her mother
• Choosing growth discomfort over stuck discomfort

TAKE HOME POINTS FROM Dr. Milene Argo

1. Sometimes we fall in love with someone we would never expect. If we are constantly looking for a certain type of person, we may miss the love of our life directly in front of our eyes AND maybe they are ALREADY married to us! 
2. Asking ourselves,  “Why would she/he say this to me?” Is NOT a helpful question. Instead, next time our spouse, mother-in-law, or friend says words to us, let’s ask ourselves instead, “What do I want to make that mean?” 
3. Making assumptions about what people are thinking is dangerous. AND then making assumptions about how other people are feeling is also dangerous! AND THEN making assumptions that other people's thoughts and feelings mean something about us is the MOST dangerous of all!!!! So next time we catch ourselves in this funny mind drama, let’s ask what we would rather spend our time and energy focusing on….someone else’s thoughts and feelings over which we have no control, or our own?

WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF

• How do I tell my love story? Is it a fairy tale or a horror story?
• Do I allow myself to love me every day?
• Do I give myself credit for how far I’ve come?
• What are my main sources of motivation?
• Am I choosing the discomfort of growth or the discomfort of being stuck?
