3 Key Conversations I was glad to have as a couple about money - before marriage ❤️ Part 1 10.21.23 I said “I do” to my best friend Alexander Jean-Baptiste 1. The Big Vision: Answering the question what kind of life do we want to build together? What are the things that are most important to us when building a wealthy life? 2. Family History: What did we observe in our family when it comes to money? Any major family moments that has shaped personal views on money? 3. Value Conversation: Naming our top 5 individual values and observing correlation between us. Choosing together what our Top 5 values will be as a family. Our general rule of engagement throughout these conversations was approach everything with curiosity and kindness because we are a TEAM. These conversations helped facilitate so much peace as we enter this married life together.

Valentine’s Day may be over, but our wives are should still be a priority. Our marriage is the greatest example we have for our kids. We model so much that they need simply by loving our wife. However, sometimes we struggle with what that really means. I am joined by Adam and Karissa King, founders of Dear Young Married Couple, to learn more about what it means for a husband to love his wife. We discuss Ephesians 5:25 and what it means, as well as practical tips for husbands. #marriage #love #family #christiandad

I have gaps & weakness. My wife has gaps & weaknesses. But as we grow together we FILL EACH OTHERS gaps more & more. •People & friends fade. •Looks & things fade. •Jobs & titles fade. But love, loyalty & legacy last forever. A great marriage takes COMMITMENT & an EFFORT from both to serve the other. It’s not 50-50 like they tell you. Sometimes it’s 90-10 & others it’s 5-95. But neither one keeps score because WE ARE ONE. It’s the most fulfilling & fun adventure ever though when BOTH are locked in & growing together. Strong families & locked in couples raising strong kids will save our society. Prioritize your marriage & home. What you do from 9-5 matters. What you do from 5-9 matters more.

Feel like your journey to find love after divorce could use a boost? Breaking free from attracting the same types of partners and opening up to genuine love boils down to three key phases: Phase #1 - Know Yourself: Enjoy the adventure of dating yourself, discovering your quirks, dreams and what truly makes your heart sing. Phase #2 - Setting Boundaries: Imagine your heart as a cherished garden. Setting boundaries is like putting up a fence around it, you get to choose who can join you in nurturing your garden. Phase #3 - Embracing Growth: Just like a garden, love requires nurturing, patience, and a willingness to weather storms together. If you find yourself stuck, you may be unsure of your true desires and doubt your ability to attract what you want. When you fully understand yourself, you can better recognise when someone aligns with your vision of love. Maybe you're having difficulty in clearly communicating your needs and boundaries and impacting your relationships. By embracing your emotional journey and being open to growth, you create fertile ground for a love that is deeply rooted and immensely rewarding. Ready for love but you don't know where to start?

Part of my mission as an author is to write fantasy books that are "family focused." I don't just mean “family-friendly” (that's covered by my commitment to write clean material). I mean stories that champion family and marriage as fundamental institutions for a flourishing society. Many books and movies out there feature a cast of adult functioning as individuals. If there are family members in the story, they are frequently used as a source of conflict. And while there are plenty of stories about people falling in love, there are few stories that show husbands and wives nurturing healthy, long-lasting relationships. This media trend is largely unintentional. (It's simply easier to write a protagonist as an individual than as an integrated part of a family unit.) But I believe it is harmful. I think it has contributed to a culture where families and marriage are seen as, at best, nonessential, and at worst, a problem. I mean to be different. In “The Pyromancer's Scroll,” for example, you'll see: - A young queen being comforted by a vision of her departed father. - A military general relying on the support and companionship of his two brothers. - A wife exerting her faith and love to drag her husband from the brink of death. - A man who abandons a promising but sketchy profession to instead find lasting fulfillment as a husband and father. - Children and families referenced frequently in descriptions of crowds and population centers. (In pre-modern societies, children often outnumbered adults!)

We get it — the holidays and Valentine's Day are done and it's back to being busy, busy, busy. But dating your spouse is all about intentionality. When you were dating your spouse before marriage, you spent time together with purpose. You were intentional about dates, whether the goal was to have fun, get to know each other, or see whether they could be the one. You have to date your spouse with purpose and intention. Yes, even in the busy seasons of life! Get inspiration for incredible date ideas at https://lnkd.in/gW-xZE95

Expanding Your Vocabulary: Five Essential Family-Related Terms Post:🔹 Kinship: Understanding the complexities of kinship is essential for genealogists tracing their family history. It refers to the relationship between members of a family, typically based on blood or marriage. 🔹 Sibling: Growing up with three siblings taught me the importance of cooperation and compromise. A sibling is a brother or sister, sharing at least one parent. 🔹 Descendant: As a descendant of immigrants, I am proud of my cultural heritage and the sacrifices made by my ancestors. A descendant is a person who is directly related to someone in a preceding generation. 🔹 In-law: My mother-in-law has been a supportive and loving presence in our family since the day I married her son. In-law refers to a relative by marriage, rather than by blood. 🔹 Progeny: Our greatest responsibility as parents is to raise our progeny to be kind, responsible, and compassionate individuals. Progeny refers to a person’s children or descendants. Let’s enhance our vocabulary and deepen our understanding of the family dynamics!
