One thing that really stuck out to me in this episode was how Ruby said that she put college and her career on the back burner so that she could spend a few years really focusing and nurturing her marriage. This made me feel all sorts of ways, on one hand its like- oh my gosh that is so old school and what about equal rights?! On the other hand, is see great value in the advice and taking the time to nurture your family unit- distraction free.
With that being said, maybe for me, it is not take a break from business or career, maybe it is: Is there a season where I can put some aspects of career or business on the back burner and give my family the attention and nurture that is needed? Maybe it's not a season, maybe it's a week. Maybe for me it's taking a break from social media from Thanksgiving until New Years to really hone in on my family and breathe life into them. Maybe its deleting certain apps from my phone and when out of habit I am ready to scroll, I instead invest that time into my family. So I encourage you to take a look at the upcoming weeks and ask your self: what can I put on the back burner so that I can take some much needed time to really nurture my family? Which brings me to what I'm soooooo excited to share with you. So make sure you listen to the end of the episode!

Join us in Episode 14 where we discuss 3 things:

1) Our words have the power of life or death! The things we think and say give life or death to our marriage and our kids!

2) The actions we take today are leaving the greatest legacy in the minds and hearts of those around you!

3) Go after your dreams because you are more than equipped and God can use your biggest embarrassment or mistake for His Glory if you invite Him in. He will give you beauty for ashes.

Maybe the the next Opera, Michael Jordan, or Walt Disney is living inside the 4 walls of your home, and they just need someone to speak life over them day in and day out to bring to life all that God created them to be!

We talked a lot about porn and sex on this episode. First of all if that is something that you struggle with please, please, do not feel judged. If you are feeling guilty, or shamed, know that is not of God. That is straight from the devil, and he wants exactly that- to have those grips on you. Know that you are bigger than all of your “junk in the trunk” and God can use even your worst decision or most embarrassing moment to bring glory and honor to Him... If you invite Him to do so.
I'm not here to tell you what to do and what not to do, I’m just here to say ask yourself: “at the end of the day does this action really make me feel good, or is it wreaking havoc in my life?” Sometimes we let these little things become big problems in our lives, they get a grip on us and we are here to give you that loving nudge to rise up and to remind you that you are BIGGER and GREATER than even your worst decision! The Bible tells us we all sin and we all fall short, and my sin is no SMALLER than yours.

That being said let me remind you that God is the creator of sex, and He wants it to be a blessing inside of our marriages! So if you are struggling in any of these areas I hope that this episode blesses you and takes you to a new level.

Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. Proverbs 5:18-19

“Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.” 1 Corinthians 7:5 NLT

I am ashamed to admit that when my marriage hit rock bottom, I asked my divorced best friend for advice, in hopes that she would bash my marriage and tell me "yeah get a divorce, you deserve better!" You will be shocked at the advice she gave me! Enjoy! And thank you Ms. Nicole Jackson!!!!

"Both my wife and I came from parents who divorced and broken families. So we came into our marriage committing that divorce would never be on the table and that we would do whatever we could to prevent our children from going through what we had to endure as children of divorce. We decided that divorce would never be an option." - Dan Yeazel
Have you resolved that divorce is not an option? Or do you live in constant fear that your marriage may one day end? Resolving that you are in it to stay can create space for you and your spouse to feel reassured and safe enough to put in the real work that is needed to have a lasting marriage. Our guest Dan Yeazel shares how as a child of divorce, and despite the struggles and crisis that they faced, resolved to do whatever it takes to stay married and shares that because of the hard work, commitment, and sticking it out though the hard times "wakes up every morning thanking God for his wife."

About this podcast: I recorded our first episode in the middle of what could have turned into a big, ugly fight over a cardboard box. Yes. Really.

I am not here to give you advice because trust me- I do not have it all figured out! There have been many days where we have wondered if our marriage is going to make it.

On this podcast we will seek the advice from husbands and wives whose marriages have stood the test of time and I ask them one question: Was there ever a time you wanted to call it quits, separate, or get a divorce? If so, how did you make it through it?
