Before that we never et divorce be an option. We had a boundary around it, until we let that boundary slide. Once we let that boundary slide we went through some extra obstacles in our marriage.

In this episode we cover one of the pilliars of our marriage, to be seen. To be seen in your marraige takes work from both sides. In your relationship you have to be willing to put in the work to see each other. At times that can be one of the more difficult things to do. We have learned a few ways to see each other and we hope that these tools will help you too. We hope you enjoy this episode and we are grateful that you have taken the time to listen!
In this episode we cover some of the things that we are currently working through in our marraige. When we run into arguments with eachother we are learning how to be there for eachother and show up in a manner that one another feels safe, seen, heard, and safe. We get into some inner child work and how we can show up for one anothers little boy and little girl when we get triggered. We also cover the power of embracing the masculine and feminine and learning how together in a powerful way. We hope you find value in this episode!
Marriage is a relationship in which you want to feel safe. How do you feel safe in your marriage? Being one of the piliars that we belive every marrige should have, we asked ourselves the same question. IN this episode we talk about what we believe makes a marriage safe and som of the things that we have put in place to bring safety to our marriage. Tune in and listen. We hope you enjoy the episode!
In this episode, we share our individual modalities that help us deal with our triggers, how to deal with your emotions while at it and the importance of being present in your relationship. We also share on being mindful of how your partner self-regulates, as a way of helping each other to deal with trauma. We hope that this helps couples who are going through the same struggles.
In this episode, we walk you through how we met, our first dates, and engagement. We also give you an insight on all the trauma we personally had and how we are dealing with it all through doing inner work on oursleves. Our aim is to lead couples in their marriage and that is why we keep it all real and raw because we know that some of you will really resonate with us, and if you don't that's ok, we can still offer you value and perspective. We hope that this will be helpful to couples and motivate you to work on your inner child, trauma and all those things that weigh heavily on your heart, as early as possiblefor your marriage's sake.
Marriage is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. It means your committing to be with someone for the rest of your life. But it can be hard since it takes a lot of commitment and effort to make it work. To keep a marraige healthy, both partners need to make sure you are taking care of yourselves (and each other) as best they can. You should also spend enough time alone togetner to help you to get to know each other better.
Its also important to know that healing in a marraige doesn't mean that you get everything you want. Instead, healing means learning how to accept and respect each others differences. This means learning how to accept your spouses feelings, needs, and wishes even when they don't match yours.
In this episode we share tips and tools that have helped us in our marraigeand also some lessons that we have learnt along the way. We share the big things that helped us in our healing journey, including some activites we do together. We share the the four things that we believe every marriage needs. We hope that this will be helpful. Tune in to listen, we apperciate your support!
