Don't Just Give Up

Have you ever heard anyone tell you "you can't just give up, you have to keep trying!" More than likely if someone has said this to you, it means you're a quitter. There is one thing that requires absolutely all of your power and strength to keep going, that is your marriage (or any other relationship). A marriage is a very important special thing but it is hard and it takes knowing and applying the secret ingredient to make it actually work. You may be thinking, what is the secret ingredient? Let me guess, you have to change yourself? You have to be perfect?" No, actually it's more simple than that! The one single most important secret ingredient that makes a marriage work is...wait for it...


The secret ingredient is PERSEVERENCE!
So many are ready to just give up the fight because they don't think they can fight anymore.


Exercise:
Do this with your partner or family member/friend
find a really large difficult puzzle and try to figure out how to put it together. Try to challenge yourself and don't give up until it's finished. How did you feel after finally finishing the puzzle and knowing you never gave up? It doesn't end there! There is still more puzzles to be put together. This is a great way to teach a never giving up attitude. Look at the finished picture, what if all marriages were like that puzzle? What if everyone worked just as hard to piece their marriage back together...

In A Different Way

Many parents have their way of doing things...I propose we do things In A Different Way here are some ways parents DO their things The "Empowerment" Way 1. Because I can, because I said so The "Comparison" Way 2.  So and So would never do that! Why can't you be like (name here). The "Simple" Way   3. your grounded. I'm taking your phone! Go to your room! Tell your dad (tell your mom) These ways can work (they often do, ask any parent!) but we aren't here to do it the EASY way, we're here to teach our kids. The truth is...some kids don't learn from the Easy Way but most parents aren't willing to try any other way. They use excuses like "it worked for them...it works on my other kid(s). They just don't take the time. Then parents are left wondering "why do my kids never listen?" The problem is that kids aren't being taught. Sure, these methods work a lot but that doesn't guaranteed that every ki

Meaningful Moments

 "Love is enough" The quote that many have requoted for years. While some may say it is true, is it really? Is love really enough? What does that even mean? Well, some would say love is a feeling so if we're going based solely on that fact, then sorry to say but no it is not enough. See that is the problem, we base our relationship on how we are feeling. We base the ranking of our family on how we feel about each other and whether we fight or not. You may not be aware but ALL...let me say it again, ALL relationships have their ups and downs, every family fights once in a while. If you really base it solely on that, you'll be let down every time. "So what do we base it on?" you may ask; You base it on actions, its a conscience decision everyday to say "no matter what, I will stick around and fight for you, for US." That is what you signed up for when you said "I do" and many of us are standing at the altar with our children present while w
