Is marriage hard for everyone?

What we've learned after 20 years of marriage

Podcast - The Daily Edge

To set your mind at ease, I will tell you right now, that we are not going to be preaching about how you should love God, talk about getting rich, or go into graphic details about our sex life.

Instead, I want to explain what each of these words mean for us, which should give you an entry point into our show.

God, for us, means acknowledging that there is something out there beyond your understanding. It can be God, it can be the universe, it can be vibrations, energy, anything you want it to be. I’ve been in the same room with the Dalai Lama, I’ve meditated with monks and have been in church for years. It doesn’t matter what you believe in as long as you believe in SOMETHING GREATER than YOU.

GOD for me is PURPOSE and LOVE.

Money is the exchange of value you bring to the marketplace. It gives you the opportunity to create an IMPACT.

Being an entrepreneur is not easy. You have to motivate yourself, otherwise your business will fail. The money is the byproduct of success, but it rarely is a motivator.

And sex, for us, means connection. Like everything else in life, a good relationship doesn’t mean it’s easy, it means it’s worth it. We struggle all the time, but when we do, we always find the next level in our relationship. That connection gets deeper every day, but only if you work at it.

GOD, MONEY and SEX are what drives most of our ACTIONS.

Our intention in this podcast is to share our experiences so we can create and IMPACT through our mistakes and insights.

I hope you join us.

Should you get married?

Should you get married?

Podcast - The Daily Edge

My wife and I pose the question: What does marriage mean?

In this country, at this time, we have the freedom to make our marriage any way we want. But, how we think about marriage is often colored by outdated ideas. This leads to a lot of people not being sure about whether marriage is for them.

We don’t want to tell you whether married life is right for you. But we do want you to know what a real marriage is like. Marriage is hard. Marriage takes work. But like anything in life, anything worth having takes work. I never ask for an easy life, I ask for the strength to have a life that it is worth it. In the same way, I never ask for a marriage that is easy, I ask for a partner who pushes me to be the best husband and father I can be.

Please check out the podcast to hear my and my wife’s discussion on what marriage means to us. Remember, if you have any questions that you want us to answer on next week’s show, you can reply to this email with your question, and maybe we’ll read it on the show!
