Twenty-Three years ago Jarred and I said “I Do” and were married! We have learned A LOT throughout these 23 years, and although we don’t have it all figured out, there are a few things I’d pass along to my children about marriage. In part 1, we talk about being friends. Usually, a romantic relationship begins with a friendship and then blossoms into a romantic relationship, but then after years together the friendship can die and it becomes more like a business partnership. Yes, that is important too! But a friendship can last a lifetime and be a beautiful part of a marriage. How do we treat our friends? And do we treat our spouses in the same way? Here are a few points we discuss in this podcast:
- Greet and say goodbye to each other and check in!
- Give each other the benefit of the doubt.
- Listen with curiosity.
- Love each other for who you are.
- Have fun together!
Listen in for details and some suggestions and examples in each of these areas!
