Dreams have always been a part of our relationship. Our conversations frequently circle back to our dreams. And the more we vocalize them, the more they become aligned. 

Dreaming together is not only important, but powerful for your relationship. It unifies your relationship, aligns your resources, gives you something to work towards, and gives you purpose. 

Tune in as we share all about dreaming together!

We decided to try something fun for this episode! We went LIVE on our Instagram, @Beating50Percent, for a Q&A session and recorded the entire thing for the show. It was so much fun hanging out with you guys fireside (you even hear some fire crackling in the background) 

This is an organic conversation answering some of our most asked questions as well as some fun on-the-spot questions from our audience. We LOVE doing these and hope you enjoy them too!

Every relationship has conflict - it is universal + inevitable! But what sparks the most conflict in your relationship? Is it stress, lack of time together, money, hard days at work or with the kids? (Speaking honestly: for us, it is often when we overestimate our capacity and take on too much!) 

The good news is that there are SO MANY ways you can help prevent conflict, healthily work through it, AND learn from it. The idea isn’t to get rid of conflict, but to use it to strengthen your relationship.

Memories of Us has launched - and just in time for Valentines Day! We believe this journal will carry great weight and impact, beyond your marriage + for generations of your family to come. To celebrate Memories of Us launching, we are diving into why making memories + marking moments is SO important to us and how you can cultivate this in your relationship too. We love what Corrie Ten Boom brilliantly says, “Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.”

Beyond making memories, we love to “lock it in.” This is our way of creating a mental tattoo of important moments to us; moments of celebration, loss, disappointment, or even just the little daily moments of discovery, connection, or breakthrough. It has become part of our marriage culture and we hope to encourage you to find your own way to integrate this into your relationship too!

We are SO excited for today’s episode because we are covering a lot of ground! 

First, we are going to tackle a fear floating around our world today when it comes to relationships: the fear of being cheesy. And how that fear holds us back from pursuing creativity in our love stories. 

We are also going to play a fun game that involves YOU guys! We asked you on Instagram to share some statements/assumptions about us, and we are going to answer those. 

A lot of those questions had to do with the farm. And we have been processing this all summer + are finally ready to share an update with you. While it won’t answer all your questions, we know that it will bring enough clarity as we share our hearts. 

And finally, we are going to talk about roles in our relationship (something you all have been asking more and more!) 

So grab a cup of coffee, sit fireside, and let’s dive in!

If you know us, you know that we THRIVE off of adventure + spontaneity! Sure, we need routine, but we also need newness. It is about finding that balance, stepping out of your comfort zone, and saying yes to moments along the journey. 

Adventures make good stories and they teach you so much about who you are, who someone else is, and how your relationship responds to life and situations. 

Our world today has over complicated and over saturated the truest form of adventure. We are constantly comparing our life to someone else’s and thinking we have to have the picture perfect adventure in order for it to be worth it. But that is not true at all! 

The muscle of adventure is there. It just takes flexing + creativity to unlock it. And once you do, it is well worth it!

In this episode you’ll hear: 

• 3 key components to a good adventure 
• The principle of spontaneity + how you can use it in your relationship 
• How you can (and should!) incorporate your kids into your adventures 
• Questions you can ask one another as you define what adventure means to you

Communication is the most crucial component in marriage. It can strengthen, heal and acknowledge your commitment to grow your relationship. 

We live in a fast paced, convenient world that does not value the power of writing things down or communicating well. And one of the biggest things that come against healthy (+ creative) communication is social media. If not harnessed and wrangled, social media will rob you of your love story. 

Communication isn’t just a big conversation once a night before you go to bed. It can happen in creative ways throughout your day. Affirmations, sticky notes, letters - all of that. They are powerful! All it takes is a bunch of words strung together to build a beautiful story. There are little things you can do everyday that have weight + make such a big impact in your relationship. We hope this episode motivates you to do the small, simple, attainable things that come with big rewards.
