Man up! Leadership & Vulnerability in marriage

New Normal

We’re back for another season. We had a summer that was anything but normal. We learned new lessons about ourselves, our marriage and gained perspective we never knew we needed.

2 options: Change or stay the same

As we close out season 1 of the podcast we decided to end on a truth some people aren’t loving. You have 2 choices: Change or stay the same. So many couples have come to us saying they want to know how we healed? How we saved our marriage? How do they get where we are? They love our words, not many love the commitment that went with it. The commitment to the heartache, the struggle, the pain, the change. But that is what got us here and we want you here with us!

Man up! Leadership & Vulnerability in marriage

Leadership and vulnerability on their own sound like they don’t go together. How can you be a man, be a leader, and be vulnerable with your wife? We want to offer the perspective that the two actually work together to make a man a leader and actually filter into other traits men desire like respect and trust. What happens if a passive role in your family has become the standard? This week we talk about how men take on leadership in the home or how they don’t. We also dig into how being a leader creates the space for vulnerability or how it should. Join us!

I’m trying, they’re not

To “TRY” requires action. Seems obvious, except in marriage. So many people think they are trying. They tell us I tried, my spouse didn’t. But they never have any actions to back up the “try” If you are trying to save your marriage or trying to have a better marriage take a step back and see what actions are supporting your “try” We discuss what action looks like and how we personally realized we weren’t actually trying.

Share it anyway

Sharing your “screw ups,” your mistakes, your testimony is not easy, but there is ONE. One person, one marriage, one family, one child whose life will be changed by your story. Your experience is the hope one person needs to know they aren’t alone. It will get easier, but it won’t always be easy. Will you be judged? Yep. Will people see you differently. Yep. Will everyone like you or appreciate you? Nope. Share it anyway. People are going to think and feel what they think and feel no matter you do. So be you! Like it or not everyone has a story and you learn best from someone who has walked that path and come out on the other side.
