  • SWITCHING ROLES AND EXPECTATIONS

    Expectations and roles changes have occurred in homes everywhere - from who is helping with distance learning to who is leaving the house for work this year, so this week we talk about creating a home that is functional and well run while navigating these changes. We share about what that looked like for us and how we made big changes to our home dynamics in January.

    A few takeaways:

    • Recognizing the role you play in your marriage and family
    • Taking time to list personal expectations for yourself and your spouse, then asking: Are these realistic in this season?
    • Are there any expectations you need to let go of that are causing division in your marriage?
    • Happy couples know they owe each other everything but expect nothing in return. - Andy Stanley.
    • Talk to your children about the changes, do not assume they understand or know the why

        As distance learning starts this fall, we are diving into what it looks like in light of our relationship with our kiddos. The way we treat our children and guide them through this upcoming academic season says volumes about our character, who we are as parents, and how we are LIVING OUT what we believe.

        Join us as we chat about what it looks like to not sacrifice connection with our children over their education.

      • Chemistry of Love

        We are talking about the Chemistry of Love this week on Marriage in the Middle.

        As Ricardo finishes up his final paper for a Human Sexuality class, we are bringing a few highlights from it on how our brain chemistry plays a key role in bonding and sexual intimacy. I have been really intrigued on how the brain works over the past few years and this class has been fascinating as Ricardo has shared different aspects, so I am excited to have you in the conversation!

        P.S. I am sure you will find this interesting even if you're not married
