Your Marriage Matters - Podcast #008
What is our conversation of the week?
What are the 5 things you like about how you were raised and why do you like those things?
Here are a few thoughts about why this is an important conversation for pre-married couples and seriously dating couples to have;
- Every bit of who we are today comes from how we grew up! Insights into what we liked about that can give us ideas about how we can make our relationship a happy one!
- This helps you learn about your partner even deeper, their personal history and what really matters to them. Through this you can explore your similarities and differences and work through those early in the relationship.
- Can just be interesting stuff to hear and satisfies our curiosity about the person we are going to spend the rest of our lives with!
- If you understand what has created positive memories for your partner in the past, and if you are listening; you can hear how you can make them happy in the future!
- Become aware of and sensitive to subjects like an unhappy childhood and dig in deep on what made each other happy growing up. Great insights to be gained here.
Listener Question of the Week – We are starting to get serious in our dating relationship and marriage may be on the horizon. I would like to get to know my future in-laws better. What ideas do you have for making that happen?
Thanks for joining us this week gang. We sincerely hope that you are enjoying and growing in your relationships from these conversations.
