Need to exchange your currency!

Imagine going to a foreign country that does not accept the currency of your native country. And so, you get there and try to transact business.

The first thing you need to do is obviously exchange your currency for that country's currency so you can transact business in that country. Right? That will be the only way to do business there.

Similarly in a relationship, we need to exchange our currency to "do business" with our spouse. Your spouse will only take you seriously when you choose to use the currency of "her country."

But here's what happens: Sometimes we try to force our spouse to accept our currency and we wonder why it is not working.

In this episode, you will discover the different kinds of currency transactions that occur between couples and how you can best use yours. You will also discover how to use it to achieve deeper connections with your spouse.

Be the solution, not the problem

A couple is like a team who has the same goal and plan to achieve it. And that goal is none other than having a lasting and happier marriage. 

Unfortunately, due to imperfections and differences, the words and actions of you and your spouse might not likely reflect your goal.

And that is where the conflict starts.

Surely, you don’t want to be the cause of your spouse’s pain or the one to break up the team. You could regret it later.

So, the question is, how could you be the solution?

This episode helps you and your spouse assess your contributions to the conflict and what to do about it. The question that will guide this episode is: “Are you Experiencing or Causing Pain in Your Marriage and What You Need to Do About It?”

“Do not cross the Line” What image does this phrase conjure up in your mind? 

Are you one of those who automatically think of restrictions? It sounds negative, right? But could there be another way of looking at it?

Let's take the phrase "do not cross the line" into that of marriage and setting healthy boundaries. Do you and your spouse have agreed upon boundaries? 

How important are boundaries?

To explain that, think of any team sport that has no boundaries. 

Imagine what that would be like. It would be chaotic. Right? Boundaries let everyone know who the players are and what to expect. You could also call it the "rules of the game."

The same is true for relationships. 

Healthy boundaries are created for happier marriages. Unfortunately, some couples do not even know how to set healthy boundaries. They have never been exposed to that. Are you one of those? 

This episode is relevant for you and your spouse in setting healthy boundaries.  You will hear five examples of boundary setting. As you listen, try to reflect on how to implement them within your marriage.

What have you predicted lately and how did it turn out? 

If you are anything like me, most of the things I have predicted haven't turned out the way I thought they would. 

Some of my predictions were emotionally driven and that is not a good way to make predictions. Would you agree?

Suppose I told you that based on a 20-year study and over 2000 couples, it has been predicted that certain behaviors in marriage are 95% more likely to lead to divorce, would you believe me? 

Of course, as humans, we cannot accurately foresee what will happen in the future or the possible problems that might arise, but we can have some idea and act accordingly.

Differences between you and your spouse are a given. It is to be expected and celebrated. But if it is seen as "not a good thing" you will try to change that person or get them to almost always agree with you.

And when they don't it leads to one of four behaviors that the study predict will lead to marital erosion and even divorce.

In this episode, you will discover what these 4 predictors are and if you are guilty of any of them, what you can do about them. The author of the study, John Gottman, labeled them "The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

As you listen, evaluate your behavior and see which of them you or your spouse is guilty of. Be completely honest.

Don't ignore the signs

In a relationship, who do you think is more instinctual husband or wife? I know sometimes wives are.

However, guys in general, and there are always exceptions, tend to overlook the small issues in a relationship. Intentionally pursuing a "happier marriage" marriage status is not something they readily do. 

Wives on the other hand see every little detail that is taking the relationship off course and will try to get it back on course. She will try whatever she can.

Because the husband doesn't see it that way, he may resist and accuse her of making a big deal out of "nothing."

Is this true of your marriage?

As the husband, are you ignoring the "little things" and resisting your wife's effort to get the ship back on course?

As the wife, are you making a bigger deal about something that really is "nothing?" 

In this episode, you will discover five areas that are significantly costing you by not pursuing a happier marriage.

Listen to see which ones hit close to home for you and if possible, talk it over with your spouse.
