Do you feel like your spouse triggers you to react and act in certain ways? Maybe even in ways he/she doesn't realize? On today's episode we break down what really happens when we argue, how we are triggered and why it feels impossible to come to a point where we can grow forward from it all.  

STRESS! We all have felt it, and most of us deal with a regular rhythm of stress in our lives, work, and marriage. It comes at us from every angle it seems...and when it comes we start to point blame at the cause of our stress.  And, at least for us, it seems that the ones we love most are the ones who get the wrath of the blame game!  Matt & Maria dive into a REAL conversation about how they stress each other out and the BIG mistake they make that they need to avoid to keep their relationship ALIVE and THRIVING. What do you think it is?

Yeah, we go there!  This topic spans from the bedroom to going on a simple walk.  What does it take for you to get in the mood? This is a conversation we never expected to have and a path we didn't expect it to take but you will be able to see how we got to where we went.  Take some time, sit back, and get ready to understand how we choose to be in the mood.

What does "fitness" means in terms of a relationship? How can you get there? We breakdown our own journey on the struggles we faced (and sometimes still face!) on the road to relational "fitness", how we overcame these obstacles, and continue to grow our relational "muscles" today.

Yikes, y'all.  This one was almost too hot to touch.  Matt and I dive into a conversation about our own shifting roles at home and in "work" during the COVID crisis, how they've evolved, how we have had to shift, and how to handle each other's emotions and narratives in the process. This one burns a little, but it's an important conversation to have...so let's go!

In today's relationship chatter, we discuss lessons learned during social distancing and the COVID-19 pandemic, not just in relationships but generally speaking about ourselves, others, and the people we love the most. We want to hear what YOU learned that maybe we missed - drop us a note on our socials @Matt87Granados or @RiaRambles - catch ya there!

On today's episode, we kill a common phrase and replace it with something much healthier...and more productive. This one little tweak has transformed the way we look at the community around us and how we "do" life in crisis.

We aren't your financial advisors, planners, or gurus.  Today, we peel back the skin on your whole "money story" and dig into the beating heart of what money means in your life, relationship and family.
