Welcome to Derrick's Live, the podcast for badass parents! In honor of Valentine's Day, we're talking all things love and appreciation for your spouse. But don't worry, we won't get all mushy on you! We're talking practical tips, like being specific when expressing gratitude and finding meaningful ways to show appreciation (hint: it doesn't have to cost money!). And let's not forget about intimacy - wives, use that secret weapon of physical touch, and husbands, keep her on simmer! Plus, we're all about big conversations at the dinner table, not just small talk about the weather. Remember, your relationship sets the standard for your family, so treat your spouse the way you'd want your son's or daughter's significant other to treat them. And speaking of kids, we've got tips for teaching them about the importance of expressing love and appreciation. So grab a glass of wine (or juice box, we don't judge) and let's talk love and relationships!

Welcome to our podcast, where we pretend to know everything about communication in a marriage. In this episode, we'll be discussing the importance of talking in a relationship, as if you haven't heard that one before. We'll share some of our own personal experience and guiding principles for maintaining a healthy and connected relationship, because who doesn't love a good dose of unsolicited advice? We'll start by talking about the importance of always talking to each other first, because why keep things to yourself when you can talk your partner's ear off. We'll also touch on the importance of being on the same page about everything, from kids and family to plans and money, because let's face it, who doesn't love a good surprise? We'll also discuss the importance of being intentional about communication, like setting aside specific times for talking, because nothing says romance like scheduling a conversation. And don't worry, we'll also talk about the importance of protecting each other and not keeping secrets, because who doesn't love a good game of "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours"? We'll also delve into the importance of not sweeping issues under the rug, because who doesn't love a good argument? And let's not forget the importance of body language, because nothing says "I love you" like a good eye roll. So sit back, relax, and get ready to be entertained by our witty sarcasm as we pretend to know everything about communication in a marriage. We guarantee you'll be laughing and cringing at the same time.

This week we're diving into the 6 pillars that we've lived by in our marriage that have enabled us to celebrate 15 amazing years together.

Your marriage is the foundation of your legacy.  

Sons will love their wives the way they saw their father love their mother, and accept wives who love them the way their mom loved their dad. 

Daughters will look for husbands who love them the way that their father loved their mother, and they will tolerate being loved the way their mother said was ok. 

If you don't set the example for what love is suppose to look like, everything your building will get lost in one generation. 

Join us as we introduce 6 pillars you should start building today, and share the first action you take to start building a marriage worth your legacy. LFG!
