Welcome back to the Bside of Marriage Podcast where we discuss the good, the bad, the real of marriage - the A and the B-Side!

Everyone grows up with a certain level of adversity in their childhood and throughout their lives. Meaning there's a certain amount of emotional bacteria that you build up to help you navigate those life challenges.

So when you start having kids, you don't want them to experience the same level of problems and difficulties, so you create an environment for them that is sanitized. It keeps them away from the situations that you experienced while growing up, but that also means that they don't get to learn those same lessons. You run the risk of your kids not being prepared for heartbreak, defending themselves, etc.

On this week of the B-Side of Marriage podcast rewind episode , Jason and Ra’Shunda talk about this and how they plan to balance protecting their kids from certain life experiences vs. letting them grow from some hard knock life experiences.

Welcome back to the Bside of Marriage Podcast where we discuss the good, the bad, the real of marriage - the A and the B-Side!

On this week of the B-Side of Marriage podcast rewind episode , Jason and Ra’Shunda talk about the motivations to leave your marriage and how to combat those thoughts and actions.

Of course we are advocates of marriage, so of course we give tangible advice because no one should feel alone, hopeless, or helpless in a marriage! We live in a world that celebrates the hustle of trying to have it all, but doesn't necessarily support staying in marriages when things get rocky. It often promotes the opposite "you deserve better", "he doesn't know what know he has until it's gone", or "the grass is greener on the other side". But that is not true!

Marriage takes work and we can't put the work in everywhere except our marriages and expect it to be rainbows and roses.

Welcome back to the Bside of Marriage Podcast where we discuss the good, the bad, the real of marriage - the A and the B-Side! On this week of the B-Side of Marriage podcast rewind episode , Jason and Ra’Shunda breakdown the similarities between relationships and diamonds and give you some advice to withstand the process. Everyone looks at a good sparkly diamond....on their hand, on a necklace, on a bracelet, and even in a grill😬! Diamonds are often given as a pledge of love and a symbol of commitment, but what really goes into the making of a diamond? And are you willing to put in that same level of work and effort to have a marriage that shines as bright as the diamonds in your wedding bands?

What typically draws a person to their partner is physical attraction.  It could be their height, their eyes, their smile, etc. but at the end of the day physical attraction is temporary.  Although this is important throughout your relationship, other character traits become more important as your relationship ages.

Don't get me wrong....getting married doesn't mean it's okay to eat all of the Oreos and fried chicken without working out, but there are stages in marriage that causes changes to your physical appearance that differs from when you first met such as childbirth.

Anyways, in this episode, we discuss:

✨ What attracted us to each other when we first met

✨ How fickle physical attraction can be

✨ What are we attracted to the most now

✨ Are those things the same or different from when we first started dating?

and much, much more!

The episode ends kind of abruptly, but we thank you all for rocking with us through all of it!

Welcome back to the Bside of Marriage family! 

There are many things that couples can disagree on like money, sex, loyalty, chores, etc.  But at the end it all boils down to a lack of communication on whatever the subject is.  If there are unspoken expectations, it will set you up for conflict to occur between the two of you.

In this episode, we discuss some of the subjects that we struggled early on with (and some we are still working through).  We also address how we have been able to navigate some of these hot spots to maintain healthy communication even when we don't agree.

Let us know if you agree or disagree with what made the list for common disagreements.  What are some things that you are constantly arguing over with your spouse?

Here's the link to the Psychology Today article that we referenced in today's episode: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/experimentations/201912/30-core-disagreements-couples-encounter
