We live in a global village. We don’t have to live in the same neighborhood to know about the life of another person living in another neighborhood on another continent.
Enter the world of technology & the internet. A world where you see beautiful pictures and videos of couples… with hashtags like #YouandIforever, #MarriageGoals, #WeAreBlessed and the likes.. depending on the current state of your marriage…subconsciously you may find yourself comparing your spouse or marriage to another person’s spouse or marriage.
Then, the "Comparison Trap"...
"If only my spouse were like this person or that person's spouse..."
In this episode, I will be talking about the negative effects of the ”Comparison Trap” in marriage and how to avoid falling into it.
We pray this episode blesses you. Tune in and let's dig in:)

Hi friend! In this two-part episode series, we will be talking about how we can make time for our marriages as parents so we can feel more connected to our partners while raising a family, especially in the African diaspora.
Maybe you're thinking:
"How can I find time for my spouse while raising a family? I have kids and hardly have time or child care."
We get it...We know that as a member of the "married with kids" club just like us…there are perks and benefits…plus something else:
A reduced amount of time…
But we reached a point in our marriage when we realized we had to figure out a way around this…
We were dissatisfied with the state of our marriage. We needed to make time for each other as a couple aside from handling other day-to-day responsibilities and tasks such as children’s activities, household chores, paying the bills, and so on.
The great thing is that, instead of wishing for more and managing our marriage just as it was, we chose to do three (3) things.
In this episode (Part 1 of this episode series), you will discover 3 important things we did that moved us closer to the desired outcome in our marriage...that is, a stronger and improved connection as a couple.
We hope this episode blesses you:)

Here is a quote by Dave Willis:
“A strong marriage requires two people who choose to love each other even on those days when they struggle to like each other.”
This quote may resonate with you right now because after being married for some time, you begin to realize that you may not always be happy with your spouse. This could be as a result of what they did or did not do…and sometimes this can lead to conflicts, disagreements or arguments.
In one of our previous episodes (Episode 13), we mentioned that:
Despite not having a perfect marriage, we have built a stronger and more enriching marriage partnership over the years.
How? By learning to focus on resolving conflict in a more beneficial way that actually results in understanding each other better, drawing us closer, and deepening our connection.
As you tune in to listen to this episode, get ready to learn 3 practical and actionable steps you can take as you proceed to resolve conflict to foster closeness, deepen your connection with your spouse and strengthen your marriage. Discover how to apply our Triple A method, a simple three-step process as you work on resolving conflict in a more beneficial way!
We pray this episode blesses you:)

Most of us were raised in a culture of winning especially in the African community. I remember my parents saying to us: "Does the person who came 1st have two heads?"
We were encouraged to do our best, to be on top. We also live in a competitive society where people tend to do whatever it takes to get ahead.
Unfortunately, we have brought this same competitive attitude into our marriages. We want to win at all costs, even though it is at the expense of hurting our spouses and the relief or satisfaction is just temporary.
How can we remember to treat each other as partners when disagreements, arguments or conflicts arise? By identifying and crushing one limiting belief.
What are we referring to? Tune in and listen to find out more.
We hope this episode blesses you:)

Hi friend. In today's episode, we will be talking about some misconceptions about conflicts or disagreements in a marriage that could hold couples back from building the stronger marriage they truly desire.
Our ingrained beliefs surrounding conflict are so important in marriage. The reason is that our THOUGHTS before we try to resolve conflict determine our ACTIONS during the conflict, and our actions during conflict can either RESULT in creating more disconnection and disunity in marriage...or actually strengthening our marriages.
That is why in today’s episode, we would be talking about 5 misconceptions about conflicts or disagreements so you can take the steps forward to strengthen your marriage!
We pray this episode blesses you:)

In this episode, we will be talking about how to communicate to connect better in your marriage by making one major change.
After being married for some time, you come to realize that in reality, you may not always be happy with your spouse. Misunderstandings arise, conflicts, arguments and then when we want to address these issues…it can either go south or north depending on the methods or approaches we choose…or the relational skills we have acquired before marriage.
Today, we will be comparing two approaches (by identifying the differences between these two approaches) that spouses or couples use...which can either increase or decrease the probability of marital issues escalating…
What are these two approaches? Hint: One of them can be found in the episode title above but what is the other one? Which of the two approaches enables us to communicate to connect better in our marriages?
Tune in and listen to find out:)
We pray this episode blesses you:)
