Show notes

In this episode, we explore the 5 love languages.
[01:30] How to keep your God as your source instead of your spouse?
[09:30] Why should we study the 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman?
There are other booksThe 5 love languages for kids, teenagers, singles & military edition.
https://www.5lovelanguages.com/resources/books/
[11:15] What are the 5 emotional Love Languages?
l. Words of affirmation – using words to build up the other person. “
2. Gifts – a gift says, “He was thinking about me. Look what he got for me.”
3. Acts of Service – Doing something for your spouse that you know they would like. For example, cooking a meal, washing dishes, vacuuming floors, are all acts of service.
4. Quality time – by which I mean, giving your spouse your undivided attention. Taking a walk together or sitting on the couch with the TV off – talking and listening.
5. Physical touch-holding hands, hugging, kissing, sexual intercourse, are all expressions of love.
[13:30] Why are they called different “Languages”? If you have to communicate with another person and you don’t speak their language it’s just pointing grunting and broken communication. No matter how hard you try to communicate love in your primary language IF you don’t speak your spouse's language it will not translate into them feeling loved.
[14:30] Marriage Confession = We did not speak each other’s language.
[20:20] Who cares... Love is love, right? No. Being sincere is not enough. We must be willing to learn our spouse's primary love languages and choose to love them in their language for a long period of time (without conditions). Learn your language to effectively share with your spouse what you want.

Securing The Bag l Episode 14 Apr 10, 2019

Show notes

This episode is all about securing the bag.
A budget doesn't limit your freedom. A budget gives you freedom. It's permission to spend. It allows you to give generously, spend wisely and save for the future
I enjoy being on the same page as Lashaude. Being able to agree on goals with him and as a team see our goal accomplished.
"Baby Step 1" and the others were fun for me to accomplish. It made me feel like we were a couple moving forward and getting stuff done.
-It'll take about 3 months to get the budget consistent.
- We were made to be a river, not a reservoir. Blessings were meant to flow through you not just to you. They are from God through you to others.
Hurt people hurt people. Blessed people bless people
-Stewardship means "We own nothing.“
"Every faculty you have, your power of thinking or of moving your limbs from moment to moment, is given you by God. If you devoted every moment of your whole life exclusively to His service, you could not give Him anything that was not in a sense His own already."
– C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
A budget puts your money on a mission. You can have more fun with a plan than you can without one. If you fail to plan then you plan to fail.
Saving $1000 is not for if something happens but WHEN something happens. These are wise healthy habits that inheriting wealth can’t teach you.

******************************
[02:20] What’s the topic for today? How the past is poisoning the present.
[03:00] Don’t believe the myth that you and your spouse both agree on the expectations for your marriage. Instead, remember that the more openly you work to express these expectations the more you can manage expectations.
[04:00] We are the plug for the certified SYMBIS Assessment.
[04:20] The expectations you bring into the marriage need to be expressed.
[05:35] What are the unspoken expectations that you have in your marriage? How are could they be negatively affecting or frustrating your marriage?
[06:40] It’s never to late to reevaluate the expectations that you have for your marriage with your spouse.
[06:50] What to do when you start to find out your spouse isn’t meeting your expectations?
[07:50] How are you going to manage your expectations? Frustration = unmet expectations.
[09:20] Your overall personal well being does affect your marriage. What personal challenges have you brought into the marriage but have neglected to address?
Overall well-being is a measure of emotional and spiritual health of the individuals within the marriage. A couple's relationship can only be as healthy as the two individuals within a relationship. Trying to build high levels of intimacy with others before you've properly managed your own emotional spiritual health is dangerous. This is where many couples find themselves searching for a spouse to complete them.
Marriage mathematics is not 2 halves make a whole it’s two (whole) people coming together as one.
Marriage mathematics should be two whole people become one (1+1=2) not two halves becoming one( ½ + ½ = 1).
[09:15] Podcast Giveaway Winners!
You don't want to put your spouse in a position the God was intended to feel. There's a certain level of healing reserved for God to perform not your spouse.
[15:05] Mutual empathy for one another can be the number one tool to resolve or avoid most conflicts within marriage.
[15:50] Here we discuss one of the best ideas we have for handling conflict.
1. Listen to their complaint.
2. Respond with “What I hear you saying is___.Am I right?”
3. If wrong go DIRECTLY back to step #1.
You don’t have to “win” or finish an argument on the spot. When needed ask for time to craft an appropriate response.
[18:20] Marriage is a process of leaving and cleaving.
Ephesians 5:31- "For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
[20:20] Top Flight Security of the World Craig!
[24:00] In what areas of your life do you feel that you need personal healing? How can your spouse best support your healing?
[24:20] Embrace the process of learning your REAL spouse. Are you committed to learning and loving your REAL spouse?
[25:00] Two reason’s you don’t know your REAL spouse. (1) They put their “best foot forward” while dating. (2) There are parts of your spouse that were (properly) not shared with you while dating.
[24:30] How To Enter The Giveaway
[30:35] Disenchantment can lead to REAL intimacy.We want to be 100% known AND 100% loved.
