HMAY?! 044| We're Not on the Same Page Aug 15, 2019

Show notes

We think it's safe to say that we all enter into marriage with some preconceived notions of what it'll be like. In this episode of #HowMarriedAreYou, we take some of the notions we got from you all on IG and we discuss the reality of it as we've experienced it. In this episode, we finally have a discussion we've been avoiding for a while regarding Glen's upcoming vasectomy. You'll definitely want to listen in.

HMAY?! 043| Should She Tell Him She's Not a Virgin? Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

Each of us comes into a relationship with what some might call "baggage." Some carry a weight that is a little heavier than others. In this episode of #HowMarriedAreYou, we respond to an email that was sent to us by a listener who has something she has kept to herself for the entirety of her relationship. As things get more serious (i.e. the possibility of engagement), she inquires about whether or not she should share about her past with her boyfriend. Listen in as we give our two cents.

HMAY?! 042| Nine Lessons in Nine Years Aug 08, 2019

Show notes

Yesterday we celebrated NINE years of marriage!!! In this episode of #HowMarriedAreYou, we share nine lessons we've learned thus far on our journey. In no particular order, we've learned...

Importance of Family Boundaries
Alignment not Agreement
Same team
Spouse First
Their story is not our story
You've gotta train your spouse
Sometimes it’s just hard
A good spouse isn’t found, they’re flourished
We can’t do it alone

We recorded a special anniversary episode on Beleaf in Fatherhood, click here to check it out!

HMAY?! 039| He Should Know Better! Jun 07, 2019

Show notes

We have been MIA for quite some time. In this episode of #HowMarriedAreYou, we take some time to update you all about where we've been and what we've been up to! Today's topic centers around the sentiment that Yvette believes that others believe 'the home is a reflection of the wife.' What do you guys think? Do you agree or disagree? Glen just doesn't get it.
