Hi friend!
Are you struggling to take the next steps toward building the stronger marriage you desire?
You’re not alone.
**This is Part 1 of a 5-Part Episode Series**
We have observed that even though we live in the Information Age, the reasons why people, including us, sometimes do not take steps towards achieving our goals is because of certain reasons that may not be related to the information within our reach…
And until these hurdles or roadblocks are removed from the way, some people never move forward and achieve their goals…their dreams remain dreams and do not turn into reality.
That is why this topic is so important. If your desire is to build a stronger marriage that you truly love…the happy marriage of your dreams…and you find that you are not moving forward toward progress like you would love to, get ready to listen to this episode (and future episodes) in this 5-Part Episode Series.
In this episode, we uncover ONE (1) of the reasons that could be holding you back so you can proceed forward during your marital journey.
So Get Ready...Set...Tune in to listen to find out more!
We pray this episode blesses you.

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:)
