Explicit content warning
07/13/19 • 43 min
We're high school sweethearts who are now married. We're both convinced that our relationship wouldn't have made it through the trials and tribulations of growing up over the last 15 years if it hadn't been for the tools that we learned in an after-school program called, "City at Peace." In this episode, we outline the community ground rules for The Way We Lead and give you a look into the experience that first provided us with these tools which have served us well, not only in our relationship but also in our work and every day lives.

Transcript
These agreements have changed
Jenellethe way that we not only talk to each other, but also argue with each other, which I think is really important. All couples fight and all couples have disagreements and all couples will go through difficult times and we absolutely have gone through those and we have always stood by these ground rules in order to help us through.
