Father's Day is Sunday and the Adams 5 Tribe loves and enjoys celebrating their father (although at times @sincerelyshunda is often the mastermind).  We thought that we would use this week's episode to talk about what fatherhood means to Jason and how it has impacts marriage.

We both have lost our fathers and know that it is because of those great men that have helped us become the people and have the marriage that we do have.

In this episode, we discuss:

✨ What does fatherhood mean

✨ How a father's presence influences a household

✨ The weight of being a present father

✨ Affirmations

✨ Generational wisdom

✨ and much, much more!

Even though we agreed prior to recording this episode that we would try and refrain from getting into the deep emotions, but gave in towards the end of the episode.  It just shows how influential and important the relationship of a father is with a child (whether biological or not)!

Share how you will be celebrating Father's Day this Sunday in the comments below. 

And if you need help or support navigating family of origin challenges in your relationship, reach out to your fav relationship coaches (info in the bio)!  We are here to help!

We have a great episode for you all this week…no seriously!  Who knew that picking granite would create such drama 😲😲!  We dive into the importance of conflict resolution and how the little things do matter.

In today's episode, we talk about:

✨ Addressing the small disagreements when they occur

✨ How small disagreements act as warning signs for bigger issues and arguments

✨ When passive aggressiveness interrupts effective communication

✨ Why avoidance doesn’t work when you’re mad

✨How to identify when things just aren’t working

✨ and much, much more!

Complacency is the enemy of growth and connection and “business as usual” doesn’t mean it works forever.  Feelings of overwhelm can build up if a spouse/partner feel like they are having to do it all.  Or resentment, if a spouse/partner feels excluded.

Even after 15 years of marriage, conflicts do come up and that’s normal. It’s more important to focus on how the conflict is handled rather than the fact that the disagreement occurred.

This week we have another great episode for you, B-Side Family!  One thing that we can count on is that change is inevitable!  But just because we know that, doesn't make it easier to accept or live through.  When you get married (or enter into a committed relationship with someone), that is only one version of that person and people will evolve over time.  As a person changes, so should your relationship, and that isn't always for the better! 

In today's episode, we talk about:

✨ Recognizing when things are changing between you and your partner

✨ How to communicate with your partner about those changes

✨ What having a growth mindset looks like in marriage

✨ Evaluating when the differences are too much to accept

✨ and much, much more!

If you want your relationship to last, it has to be able to adapt as both partners (and situations) change.  Having a growth mindset and being willing to have difficult conversations can help facilitate this transition.  It is important to express compassion and empathy with each other, and yourself, as you navigate the roller coaster of life.

Do you think there is a difference between growth and change?  How have either one of them impacted your relationship?  Let us know in the comments! 

Also, be sure to like, share, follow, review, and subscribe to @bsideofmarriage on all the channels and platforms.

In relationships, there is often each partner's side of the story and then the truth.  Why do we say that?  It's because each person experiences the same event or situation, through their own perspective.  This includes how actions are interpreted, any biases that are internalized, and any traumas that may be triggered during each interaction!  That is why the truth lies in-between the two experiences and the facts of the situation.

In today's episode, we talk about:

✨ The baggage that each person brings into a relationship

✨ How we experiences interactions with our partners through our own personal "filters"

✨ The importance of seeking understanding of each other's point of view

✨ The difference between reacting and responding

✨ and much, much more!

As they say, there are two sides to every story  and that will always be!  always has been, always will be.  Because no two people on the planet view the world through the same lens, so each side to every story are both “right"!  And that is because their judgement of what is “right” is based on each of their own lens’ making neither one of them wrong!  

How have your differences reflected in your communication with each other?  Let us know in the comments!

 Mother's Day is right around the corner and we thought that it made sense for us to discuss our parenthood journey and how it has impacted our relationship!  The common question after a couple says I do is, "when are you going to start a family?"  Placing unnecessary pressure and stress on a relationship!  You need to take the time to get to learn and know each other as married partners, first!  And what does it mean if you do not want to have children?  Or have difficulty conceiving?  That can magnify insecurities in both partners! 

In this episode, we discuss:

✨ Our journey to parenthood

✨ Career vs. stay-at-home parent

✨ The impact of childbirth on our relationship

✨ Breaking points

✨ Ways to celebrate your special day…or not

✨ and much, much more! 

The relationship with motherhood can be complicated and this holiday can bring up some traumatic and/or grief responses.  Remember to take care of yourself in whatever stage that you find yourself in for this holiday especially with this being #mentalhealthawareness month!

Be sure to like, share, follow, review, and subscribe to @bsideofmarriage on all the channels and platforms.  Also, share how you will be celebrating Mother's Day this year in the comments below.  I'm hoping mine will be full of love and rest!

✨ NEW Podcast Episode✨ We have a great, new episode for you guys this week!  I was finally able to convince Jason to indulge in one of my reality tv shows and it turned into a great conversation!  This week we are tackling the show that everyone is talking about Love is Blind season 6, and in particular, AD and Clay's relationship.  Although, the reunion show has already been recorded, and both AD and Clay have been making their media rounds, we take a look back on the season finale and the generational trauma that we saw play out in front of million of viewers.

In this episode, we discuss:

✨ The preconceived notions about the idea of marriage & how that drives our behaviors

✨ How family of origin stories impact the development of your self-identity and how it influences the way a person shows up in their current and future relationships

✨ Why it's important to understand generational relationship behaviors

✨ The need for individual therapy and premarital counseling

✨ and much, much more!

Many people are looking for love, but do not understand how being in a dedicated, healthy relationship is actually a mirror of you, your attitudes, and behaviors.  Attempting to circumvent the process sometimes only makes things worse instead of satisfying the need for instant gratification!
