The Couple’s Journey

TDC - Talking, Dating, and Courting. I have broken the dating process into three primary stages to help avoid complications and confusion. In this episode, we finish with the courting stage. What it is and what it is not. To work toward a healthy, thriving relationship, we must be clear about expectations, desires, and challenges and date with intent. This is the last part of the 3-part TDC episodes. I hope this blesses you, and thank you for listening

In this episode, I briefly discuss this article, https://apple.news/AWBqJz5ehRA-6sjLSQj0ehQ, from The Wall Street Journal about the lifelong power of close relationships. It is important to note that of all the things we achieve in life, such as our jobs, health, properties, etc., the study showed that the best investment we should make is in lasting healthy relationships. I hope you enjoy this episode. Stay blessed.

Many times, I have been asked this question, but people always focus on age. Age is indeed important, but maturity is more essential to our readiness to commit to a successful relationship. In this podcast, we identify five questions to ask yourself to evaluate your readiness or to reveal how much work you have to prepare yourself and give yourself the best chance at a successful relationship. I hope this blesses you.

Many priorities are essential in life, but in successful relationships, prioritizing your spouse is one of the primary keys. You prioritize things and people that are important and have value to you. Prioritize your spouse over your children in many situations. When the parents are happy and fulfilled, it trickles down to the children.

In this podcast, I talk about a principle that, when ignored, causes relationships to fail. Understanding that in creation, we are not made to have dominion over any one person means that if we do not value, respect, or revere each other along with their gifts, we are heading toward a failed or unhealthy relationship. Genesis 1: 26-31, Outlines the original plan for the creation of man; therefore, it is a fundamental principle in relationships to maintain that no one person will be in the head position forever.

Purpose:

This is a brief introduction to the aim and purpose of this podcast. The goal is to discuss how to have successful and meaningful relationships, such as dating, communication, trust, and many other challenges we face in relationships. Please also take some time to review us occasionally to let more people discover us and be a part of this family. Stay blessed.
