Married A.F. | Real Talk on Marriage and Intimacy

Half of all marriages end in divorce...HALF!!! If your best friend is married and so are you, according to statistics one of you will be getting divorced. Why do we think that happens? On this episode we break down why people get divorced, discuss the needs of men and women, our experience with our viral video, and the importance of homework!

How sturdy is your relationship's foundation? When storms come is everything still standing? Is everything still in one piece? One constant we know for sure is that in this life we will all face storms. The only way for us to survive these storms is to have a rock solid foundation. In this episode we talk about priorities. What that should look like not just for our relationships but for us as individuals.  

Do you like what you see when you look in the mirror? The majority of us do not. We compare ourselves to how others physically look, how fat someone else's wallets may seem, how happy that couple always looks, or how someone is killing it at the parenting game when in REAL reality it does NOT matter. So stop it! It's time to make a change! God created YOU! God does not make mistakes! Whatever reasons we may have to not like what is looking back at us in the mirror we were given freewill. So use your freewill to make the right changes in your life. Changes to better you and all your relationships.

Today's episode we talk about relationships with differing opinions and viewpoints.  It is ok to have a different thought or idea than someone else and not attack them for thinking differently that you.  We learn that LOVE conquers all, that we are called to love all people.  

Special Thanksgiving Day Episode...It is a family affair! Monica is BACK!!! We are also joined by our children Cashman and Elke.  We talk about our day, Christmas presents, Fortnite, Monica's organized preparedness, and just a fun family conversation.

We know, we know, we know it has been a few weeks...we are sorry!  So we recorded this short update episode as Matthew updates everyone on Monica's recovery from shoulder surgery.  We will be back very very soon with new episodes.  

We had the honor of hosting our dear friends Mark and Jenn Browning on the podcast this week.  We dig a little into their faith journey and the impact community has had in their lives.  How true and all healing comes from other people in your life.  We learn what it is like to be friends with us and how important it is to find people who do not want anything from you, but want everything for you. 

Today we rehash Monica's trip to Disney World last week...4 parks in 1 day is quite the accomplishment.  Monica's Halloween decorations are all the rage this year.  Congratulations to Stephen and Alejandra on the engagement.  This got us thinking about the mistakes that newlyweds make in what their expectations of what marriage is going to look like.  We talk about what we experienced in the early years of marriage and what the game changer was for us.  Listen till the end to know what to expect in the coming weeks. 

This more of an update than an episode...While Monica and our daughter Elke are running all over Disney World, literally all over Disney.  They have been to every park in one day.  So our 9 year old son Cashman hangs out with me, just to say hello.  We will be back next week and every week with more episodes.  We are going to go into overdrive and talk about some really difficult topics over the next couple months.  Buckle up, I hope you are ready!

The Boson Red Sox have officially made the 2021 American League Wild Card Game!  We could not be more excited!  We watched the 9th inning live, so we apologize for our excitement.  Monica is taking a last minute girls trip to Disney next weekend.  We talk about how that happened and how in our marriage years ago this would not have been ok.  How keeping score in your relationship is a game that nobody wins.  We discuss Monica's wrestling career and how we made a life altering decision concerning her career.
