It's our Thursday check-in; holding you accountable for the change you want. How are you doing? How many times have you focused on the positive? How did you express yourself?

GFL Podcast Ep. 11 Checkin' in

In this podcast, we discuss why we each feel like they work harder in trying to make the relationship work. We talk about the difference between a man's perspective and a woman's point of view. When women ask for something to be done, it generally means, "Do it now" whereas a guy might say, "Sure, I'll do it in a minute". The woman is probably thinking, "I asked you do it cause I need it done now." and the guy is thinking, "It doesn't really matter when it gets done, the point is that it will get done." Both contradict each other but each one is appropriate in their own way of thinking. Understanding each other's thought processes will help to show grace as we grow as individuals and as a couple. Don't forget to look for a place to connect and to get the support we all need. Do you have a home church? Or a couple that can mentor you through your struggles? Nothing changes if we don't.

Why won't my husband do what I say, when I say it? GFL Ep. 13

In this episode, we discuss how you can achieve a successful marriage. The beginning step is to create a firm foundation. This can be achieved at any time, no matter where you find yourself in your relationship at this moment. It's also important to note that your happiness is not your partner's responsibility; you get to choose to be happy or not. Happiness is a consequence of making the right choices. If you aren't happy, it could be that it is because you are not making the correct choices. Join us as we discuss how to develop and strengthen our relationship from the ground up. Remember, we are always stronger with support- you are not alone.

How to have a successful marriage. GFL Ep. 14

A successful marriage is so much more than doing all the right things and having the perfect thing to say every time. It's also about what you do when things don't go right and how you'll respond when you don't have all the answers. In this episode, we discuss the need for support and how the greatest of change comes when we look to build our own character before trying to force our spouse to change. Being the change you hope to see will produce far greater results than we often stop to acknowledge. We aren't meant to struggle through this alone. Let us know what's been a help for you and also, who's helped you.

A successful marriage starts with you. Where does your help come from? GFL Ep. 15

The holidays are the source of many arguments. With the year's end comes arguments over money, family, and time. Although we know what's coming and what the holiday brings, we still fall victim to the many pressures of trying to please others and meet standards that seem only to drift further away, the closer we get to achieve them. Join us as we discuss how to reset your perspective of the impossible standards and set our sights on what truly matters... love. Let's kick the stress, reset our mindset, refocus on what really matters, and love one another.
