    We Need To Talk About... Fight Languages

    The way you fight, or really, argue, is what’s going to determine whether or not your relationship will work. Anybody can get along when you’re both in a good mood and life is going swimmingly and there are no pressing decisions to be made. Challenges either make or break relationships, and that’s not a coincidence, because it’s then that you see what you really need to know about a person.

    In this episode Ari and Rod discuss the "fight languages" and how to move from least effective to optimal.

  • We Need To Talk About... Expectations Pt. 2

    We Need To Talk About... Expectations Pt. 2
    Sep 16 2022

    We all have an idea of who our partner should be when we get married. There's nothing wrong with that.

    The problem arises when we have that expectation unbeknownst to our partner. Living up to an expectation that we don't even know exists is very difficult and can lead to resentment and misunderstanding.

    Conversations about our ideas of what and who a husband or a wife is and should be are important to have before you say I do and to continue to have throughout your marriage.

    On episode 4 of the @weneedtotalkcast we finish up our conversation on expectations in marriage.
