The Millionaire Marriage

“I can’t wait to have a baby, it will bring us so much closer and make our relationship so strong!” Uhhh… in a perfect world, possibly. The reality? Kids are a blessing straight from heaven, but it’s no secret that having kids changes everything about your life—including your relationship with each other. 

In this episode, Taylor and Jeremy give some insight into how their relationships changed after taking the next step in becoming a parent, and how through those experiences, they learned how to navigate this untalked-about territory. Whether you’re already a parent or kids are the furthest thing from your mind, this episode is good for everyone! Let’s jump in!

Did you know that 80% of marriages that end in divorce are due to money-related issues? I don’t know about you, but to us, that statistic is a bit sickening! In this episode, Taylor sheds some light on the couples that come through his investment firm with these same issues, and how important it is to get on the same page with your finances.

Debt or no debt? What is a money personality? And of course, our all-time favorite… The “Breadwinner” mentality. We’re breaking down some of the biggest money mistakes that could be destroying your marriage, and discussing the ways you can work yourselves out of it before it’s too late.

Does your spouse know exactly what you need at the exact moment when you need it? 

Does sex really get boring after the newlywed phase? 

Does having kids bring you and your spouse closer? 

There is ONE universal path in marriage that EVERYONE should follow….. Hmm.. These sound pretty sketch if you ask us.

They may be interesting topics at first glance, but don’t worry, there's no need to call the cast of Mythbusters because in this episode, Jeremy and Taylor are BUSTING these unbelievable marriage myths left and right!

Tune in and see which marriage myths you may be believing.

Surprise surprise! You thought we were taking a break, but we're back with Season 5!

In this episode, we're jumping into the definition of relational gridlock. What is it and what do we do about it? Relational Gridlock is when you're no longer willing to compromise on your needs, values, and integrity in your relationship. Aaaand if you've been married for any length of time, you know this can create HUGE issues if not resolved.

We're giving you all the tips on HOW to not only overcome but get OUT of the trenches of relational gridlock.

Life is full of changes, and not everyone handles change very well. You may see change as an exhilarating adventure and welcome it with open arms! Buuuuut your spouse, on the other hand, may get anxious about change, causing them to be worried, upset, or even depressed. 

Naturally, this can cause friction in your relationship. You’ve heard us jump into this topic before, but this time we’re giving you 5 things to remember while in transition. 

Let’s check it out!

We had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Eugene Wilson and his wife, Kerri, as they shared their story of how they have navigated marriage after experiencing childhood abuse. 

This is never an easy topic to discuss, but we know that there are so many people who are facing this same reality, day in and day out. If you're looking for hope today, you've come to the right place. 

Join us as the Wilsons discuss the childhood trauma that could have destroyed their marriage, and how through God's grace and learning true forgiveness, they were able to heal.

It's probably safe to say that if you're married, you and your spouses are probably not children anymore. So why do we continue to treat our spouses like they're kids who need our continued instruction and coddling? Serving your spouse is one thing, but enabling them is a whooooole different story. In this episode, we're covering the different angles of why you may be treating your spouse like that, or why they treat YOU that way. 

Is it a trust issue? 

The need for control? 

The way you saw mom & dad treat each other, so now you're continuing the pattern?

Whatever it boils down to, the point is: You're their partner, not their parent. 

Put on those steel-toed shoes and let's jump in! 

Mostly everyone knows what it’s like to live with a roommate. It can be great if they pay rent on time, clean up after themselves, and allow both of you to do your own thing without any questions or obligations. But once you enter into married life, that roommate stage is supposed to be over with. Or is it? 

Unfortunately, so many couples are still living their normal, everyday lives, as though they’re just rooming with one another. You do your thing, I’ll do mine, and we can even have separate bedrooms! Sounds great, right?

Ahh, young love. Sweet, sweet young love. We've BOTH been there. Actually, both of our marriages started out as young love... so this is a topic we're wildly familiar with! In this episode, we're jumping into the good, the bad, and the ugly of young love and everything that comes along with it. 

Getting married young helped us both realize that there are some learning processes and life experiences that you don't necessarily have automatically. There are a lot of aspects to your marriage, and life in general, that come with age and experience.

How do I know if I'm ready for marriage?

How do we pay the bills?

When should we have kids?

When should we buy our first home?

There are several things that we need to know individually before adding another person to the equation. Working on being the best version of YOU that you can be BEFORE you get married, will ultimately help set you up to be a great spouse whenever that day does come.

Don't get us wrong, we're NOT saying you should not get married young—we're living proof that it CAN work! But just make sure that you are ready. Let's dive in!
