Blended Life EP. 12: Lessons Learned Before Blending Our Family

On this episode things get real...real uncomfortable.  We
both open up about lessons we learned from our previous marriages
and #divorces.  If that wasn't enough, we own up to our
parts in our marriages ending.  It's never fun to reflect on
things that aren't so flattering, but it is so necessary to be
able to have a #healthypartnership post split.  It takes two
to make or break any relationship, so being able to define your
role in either is a huge win for your future and an important
jumping off point to forgiveness towards yourself of your
mistakes.  These are the conversations we would hope any
blended family couple has before they walk down that isle. 
Knowing where you spouse has been will give you such insight to
how your marriage is going to be.  The past informs our
futures, and so boundaries and insecurities will come from that
in your relationship.  Part of #lovingyourspouse is
understanding them, and believe it or not accepting your marriage
"rules" (for a lack of a better term) comes easier when you know
the "how come" behind them.  It is in conversations such as
this one where you learn to love your spouse the way THEY need to
be loved instead of how YOU think they should be loved.  You
may have to read between the lines sometimes, but we think you're
smart enough to do it!  We thought we were going to have
time to squeeze in marriage counseling into this podcast episode,
but we totally bit off more than we could chew and ran out of
time.  This one is worth the listen all the way through;
when you get to the end you will find out why (probably the most
real and profound tough part of our marriage makes it's way to
all of you).  Enjoy!
