Hey B-Side family!  Every Monday we post on our social media channels a marriage myth buster.  What is a marriage mythbuster?  It's something that is commonly assumed to be true about marriage that is not really true or is different than described . In these posts, we de-mystify those myths and share the "real" behind those myths.

In this week's episode we tackle the myth that having children can save a relationship.  Unfortunately, that is not the case!  Having kids bring its own set of challenges!

Hey B-Side family! Have you ever felt like your spouse put their job/work ahead of you? They are always working late hours, working on the weekend, traveling for work, or working on vacation?

It could just be a part of their job or they could be using it to avoid addressing any issues that are occurring in your relationship or household. Either way, prioritizing your job over your relationship will cause it to deteriorate over time.

Hey, hey, hey B-Side family!  We are back this week talking about family of origin!  In this season where a lot of people are having the wedding celebrations that they may have postponed due to COVID-19 or now planning the big bash since all of your family and friends could participate in, we wanted to take an episode to talk about the impact that family of origin has on your wedding and marital relationship.

Hey B-Side Family!  We took a little time off to spend time with our family and celebrate the wedding of our niece!  We wanted to make sure that we poured into them and that they were able to be present in the day, so that there would be no regrets later on.

What ended up happening, is that we took a dose of our own medicine and focused on being present and experiencing things through our kids' eyes instead of sticking to  an agenda.  It was a beautiful experience!

So check out this rewind episode this week, where we talk about prioritizing your relationship over everything else!  This is very important!  There will always be conflicting demands on your time, but it is very important on how you handle those conflicts together as a couple.

Did you catch the latest Verzuz "battle"?  Well, we did and this week we talk about it and how music has played an in important role in our relationship.

Have you ever thought about putting a contract in place within your relationship?  Would it help make sure that the household responsibilities are divided and make sure that your love tank never goes empty?  Or will it increase judgment and create additional nagging?

This week we discuss both the pros and the cons.  Listen in to hear our opinions and where we end up on the matter!

Every Monday we post on instagram and facebook a marriage myth buster statement . In these post ,we de-mystify a common myth about marriage. In this week's episode, we are talking  about the famous quote from Jerry Maguire  "You Complete Me".  This is great for movies, especially 90’s rom com, but it is not true in real life. Check it out now, and let us know if you agree!

In this week's episode, we get ready for the summer by playing a few rounds of the game, Tonight's Conversation Cards: Relationship Debates and talk about: Prenups, Receiving inappropriate texts from the opposite sex, Prioritizing your relationship with your spouse or significant other, Having sex with other people for 1 million dollars

Join us for a lively and entertaining discussion! I'm sure it will spark a conversation between you and your spouse/significant other.

In this week's episode we address what are time styles and how they impact your marriage.  Are you always complaining about your spouse running late?  Or does your spouse want to plan out every single minute of every single day when on vacation?  It's because each of us have our own time style!  And knowing it can minimize frustration with your spouse, or significant other, and help promote empathy and connection instead. 

We don't believe that enough time and energy is spent on creating a marriage that will work for you and your spouse. Too much time is spent trying to have the relationship that appears to be perfect in those around you or the opposite of what you saw didn't work in your upbringing. Instead, a conversation is needed to determine what works well for you all or what you want your "brand" to be.

In this week's episode, we discuss what we wish someone would have told us about marriage prior to us getting married. We received some good words of wisdom as well as had to learn some lessons the hard way.

his week we discuss recognizing the seasons within your relationship and knowing when it is time to prune. Just like you prune trees and flowers to keep them looking beautiful in their spaces, pruning needs to also occur in your marriage to keep negative behaviors from overpowering it and instead feeding your marriage with the things that keep it its healthiest.

This week we discuss how to support each other when you both are dealing with church hurt! Church hurt, also known as spiritual abuse, has been the reason that many have left the church, and religion all together. In this episode, we talk about our latest experience with it and how it was an opportunity for us to strengthened our marriage.

This week we talk about the infamous "slap heard across the world", but in the context of relationships and how you show your support for your spouse. Are you okay with having your spouse address the issue in the moment or are you more of a smirk in the moment and handle it behind closed doors?

In today's episode of #thebsideofmarriagepodcast we provide our advice (based on our experiences and what we have coached others) on how to have difficult conversations with your spouse. Of course, one of us gets animated when sharing their thoughts on this topic. Check it out and let use know who do you agree with. Hope you enjoy this lively discussion!

In today's episode of #thebsideofmarriagepodcast we talk about our personality types, how they shows up in each aspect of our relationship, and how we leverage each other's strengths and weaknesses. Hope you enjoy!
