Power couples know that life can get hectic with demanding careers, children, pets, friends, volunteerism, and trying to build in time for self. Crazy schedules can cause tension, stress and exhaustion if you don't consistently plan, and occasionally pause. Power couples also know the importance of guarding your relationship by building your friendship, maintaining the romance, and keeping the love alive. No easy task but well worth the investment.  Hang out with us this week as we talk about how we manage this thing called life on the run.

Meeting Lifes Demands - Keeping Love Alive.

Welcome all to Season 2 of the Power Couple Podcast: Real Talk From The Nest. In this 8 episode season, we will interview guest couples to learn how their marriages succeed. We launch the season with two amazing individuals who together make a powerful couple; Sam and Yolanda Caldwell. We chose them because we admire their strong faith in God, their deep love for one another, their excellent approach to parenting and their successful careers in both the corporate sector and higher education. They are a “Power Couple” because they understand and respect the power of love and the power above. Spoiler alert, the marriage ideation lab, is an approach coined and used by the Caldwell's as a framework for visioning. This concept was a big takeaway for Odo and I and we will be implementing it in our marriage and keeping you up to date on our progress. We know that you will glean wisdom from the Caldwell's too so grab your “Boo” and enjoy the podcast.

Faith, Friendship, Family. Join us for this episode, as we proudly present to you the Hiltons (Averell & Belinda) as they share with us how to make love and marriage work in their hometown, with their family nearby. It can be done successfully as long as all parties agree to be respectful of one another, draw boundaries, and balance independence with interdependence. This is a great episode if you are a new couple trying to figure out how to navigate family affairs with marital affairs. It’s also relevant if you are the parent of adult married children and find yourself at the center of chaos more often than you would wish. If none of those apply, no worries, listen anyway so that the next time you have to advise a friend, you have some tips that may be useful. We had fun with the Hilton's, and you will enjoy them too.

Meet the Wyatt’s, Heraclio (Johnny) & Paulette. Listen and learn how this amazing couple, who self-proclaim shared values but different personalities, tell us how they make their marriage work through the good times, the struggles, and now through sheltering at home. They talk about the importance of not only finding a purpose for life but creating a purpose-driven marriage. They talk about learning how to “fight” and that “fighting” does not mean the marriage is failing. Lastly, they give us a formula to riding out the storms of life, sheltering in place, and maximizing this unprecedented time in history. We are advised to 1) Get to know each other again 2) Establish and respect boundaries 3) Create new rituals. It was a fun half-hour, and we know that you will be blessed by the conversation.

Sheltered in Place? Find Shelter in Marriage & Family

Hey, podcast family! We are back for episode 5 of season 2, with one of our favorite couples, Jay and Deb Privott. Married 14 years, the “power” in this couple derives from their strong faith in God, their commitment to establishing and communicating a vision for their family, and their shared love for global and domestic travel. They are special to us, and as such, you will hear them calling my husband Dr. Odo Butler (AKA Dr. Boo), the name “Naku,” which is a name reserved for family. Jay, Deb, and their three beautiful children are our “family by love.” Tune in and listen to them share how travel has enhanced their faith, their family, and their marriage. They also provide practical steps to help each of us know that no matter where we are in life, we can plan and ultimately take affordable trips of a lifetime with our loved ones. To learn more about the travel adventures of the Privott’s and to meet the family, check them out here.
