Time to Throw Away Your Back-up Plan Our guest this week shares that being married young was only the beginning of the obstacles they faced.  For her, she always felt as though she needed a “back-up plan.”Check out our website,  and get the 7 Marriage Challenges to start Creating Miracles in your Marriage today! Rate and Review Here! (scroll to the bottom)I recorded our first episode in the middle of what could have turned into a big, ugly fight over a cardboard box. Yes. Really. I am not here to give you advice because trust me- I do not have it all figured out! There have been many days where we have wondered if our marriage is going to make it. On this podcast we will seek the advice from husbands and wives whose marriages have stood the test of time and I ask them one question: Was there ever a time you wanted to call it quits, separate, or get a divorce? If so, how did you make it through it?Please connect with me on Instagram! It wasn't until about 10 years into their marriage that she had to give it all to the Lord and confront her back-up plan. From then on, her entire mindset around her marriage changed.  The thing is, for anyone who comes from divorced parents, there tends to be this idea that they need a back-up plan. A safety net, if you will. A way to not get hurt.  The motivator for this is almost always to protect themself from hurt. But the reality is, you will never ensure complete protection from pain. Your greatest form of protection comes from the Lord.  "Your back-up plan is hurting you and your spouse." In this week's episode I interview Melody Jacobs. A mother of five who is passionate about her marriage, her kids, and seeing women find their potential. We talk all things marriage and what having a “back-up plan” is actually doing to you. Married for 25 years, Melody and her husband are overflowing with wisdom to share. High school sweethearts, they got married at a young age. When I asked Melody if there was ever a time in her marriage when she didn't think it'd work out, she replied “yes!”  This week I encourage you to check yourself, do you have a back-up plan for your marriage? Does your spouse? Sometimes the reality is that this back-up plan is in the subconscious. There's a subconscious need to protect and, until you confront it, your marriage will never reach its full potential.  God is big enough to change your heart, your spouse's heart, and your marriage. The best thing you can do is align yourself with who the Lord wants you to be. If you do this, when trouble comes in – which it will – you will be centered and unshakeable.  By making it clear you do not have a back-up plan you are bringing stability to your marriage, your household, and even you.  

Succeeding as a mom, wife, and career woman is not easy. Take it from our amazing guest Jessica Gonzales. She shares how the overwhelm landed her in therapy to work through "coming home so frustrated after work everyday, slamming cabinets and giving those I loved most the silent treatment."She shares practical things that she put in place that helped her and her husband start working as a team. The journey made her realize that her family doesn't  need a perfect mom, they just needed a happy mom, and she was more than enough- just as she is.

What Your Family Needs From YouAre you struggling to find balance within providing for your family and being present? Do you, as the man of the house, feel pressure to provide in more ways than you feel able to? Are you, as the woman of the house, struggling to understand what your family needs from you? Are changes that come with having kids taking a toll on you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this episode is where you need to start in your quest for answers. In the second part to last week's interview, Dan Yeazel shares the very honest reality he had to face, becoming consumed in the circle of success within his job left him missing everything within his home. The desire to achieve more and be able to provide more left his family missing his presence. Realizing he was caught in the trap of success led him to resign and face his truth that he was needed more at home than he was at work. He came to the understanding that his attempt to provide for the good of his family instead left them missing a huge part, him. “Put balance in your life. Careers, money, will come, jobs will come and go; your family, your kids, will be gone.” Click here to read the entire message. 

Divorce is Not an Option. If you feel like this advice is harsh because of how bad your marriage is, check out our free giveaway:"What to do if your Spouse is Tearing your Marriage Apart"So, what is the most downloaded episode in the history of this podcast? I don't think it'll be a surprise! When looking for the #1 all time episode, there was no shock when the statistics showed that the two-part interview discussing divorce are the two most downloaded episodes. In this episode, I interview Dan Yeazel and learn about the agreement he and his wife built the foundation of their marriage on, divorce is never an option. Their driving force? Not wanting their kids to grow up seeing the things they did, not wanting their family to struggle with the implications of divorce.  “We walked into this marriage knowing and committing that divorce would never be on the table.”Not giving their marriage the option of divorce provided stability within their marriage, they both understood from minute one that divorce would never be an option, therefore it was not a lurking fear in the back of their minds. Marriage is hard and struggle is inevitable. Building your relationship through God can help the struggle not feel so lonely.  The best advice Dan shares to the stability of his marriage is seen in James 1:19, “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger” because, as Dan shares, “you can apologize but you can't take those words back.” Words hurt, harsh words are unforgettable and neither your partner nor your marriage deserves that. “God wants our families to stay together. Take a stand for your marriage!”Listen to the interview here to hear everything about marriage, the different roles between man and woman within marriage, and the ways in which turning to God can change everything for the better. The advice Dan shares is full of encouragement for you and your marriage. For 3 steps on how to embrace this philosophy in your marriage, no matter how bad things are, read the entire blog post here. Love Always, AmandaPS.

"I wasn't a bad guy, I didn't do wrong things, I did everything to care for my children. But I didn't understand that caring for my family meant caring for my wife. I worked hard but I didn't often put her first. I put my own interest before my marriage. Really, more of the problems were centered around me and her processing through me putting her second. And her feeling second a lot was a lot of why she felt angry. She would respond in anger because she was so filled up with being treated poorly."Do not miss what our AMAZING guest Bryan Jacobs has to share on this episode!! Definitely one of my favorites!!

You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.” James 1:19Have past hurst and marriage struggles caused you to put up your guard and protect yourself? With each hurt we put up our guards a little more and a little more, this can cause us to become bitter and resentful-without really realizing it. When we become overly protective of ourselves, as to not get hurt we can show up very selfishly. It becomes hard to serve, or to really even love our spouse. When we have had so many hurts and hangups it is hard to see clearly how selfish we have really become. Listen to this weeks episode for ideas on how to break through that selfishness and start serving your spouse. "Both my wife and I came from parents who divorced and broken families. So we came into our marriage committing that divorce would never be on the table and that we would do whatever we could to prevent our children from going through what we had to endure as children of divorce. We decided that divorce would never be an option." - Dan Yeazel Have you resolved that divorce is not an option? Or do you live in constant fear that your marriage may one day end? Resolving that you are in it to stay can create space for you and your spouse to feel reassured and safe enough to put in the real work that is needed to have a lasting marriage. Our guest Dan Yeazel shares how as a child of divorce, and despite the struggles and crisis that they faced, resolved to do whatever it takes to stay married and shares that because of the hard work, commitment, and sticking it out though the hard times "wakes up every morning thanking God for his wife."Check out our website,  and get the 7 Marriage Challenges to start Creating Miracles in your Marriage today!

Now, that doesn't mean that I don't discipline and give him boundaries but how can I do a better job as a parent and make sure to foster that strong will? Because it will serve him well in life and is a blessing. We need to remember that God knit these babies together and he gave them to us and we have a big responsibility. The times kids are so difficult it's our duty as parents to be mindful of not having sharp tongues and crush their little spirits. God has such big plans for them and can use them in the most wondrous ways if we don't crush their spirits. Please connect with me on Instagram!

We are discussing 3 things:1) You only get one shot at this mom and dad thing!2) How to make this Thanksgiving special in spite of stay at home orders!3) How a healthy home environment is the biggest gift you can give your kids!My dad called me last night to talk over Thanksgiving plans and I was literally balling my eyes out over that fact that my entire family isn't getting together this year due to Covid. Every year since I was born all 50 of my family, aunts, uncles, cousins pack into my grandparents house to enjoy each other and play games. After my little breakdown I wiped my tears and thought to myself, how can I make this year super special for my little family? What traditions can I create that my own kids will hold near and dear and have to look back on when they are adults with their own kids?Rate and Review Here!

One thing that really stuck out to me in this episode was how Ruby said that she put college and her career on the back burner so that she could spend a few years really focusing and nurturing her marriage. This made me feel all sorts of ways, on one hand its like- oh my gosh that is so old school and what about equal rights?! On the other hand, is see great value in the advice and taking the time to nurture your family unit- distraction free. With that being said, maybe for me, it is not take a break from business or career, maybe it is: Is there a season where I can put some aspects of career or business on the back burner and give my family the attention and nurture that is needed? Maybe it's not a season, maybe it's a week. Maybe for me it's taking a break from social media from Thanksgiving until New Years to really hone in on my family and breathe life into them. Maybe its deleting certain apps from my phone and when out of habit I am ready to scroll, I instead invest that time into my family. So I encourage you to take a look at the upcoming weeks and ask your self: what can I put on the back burner so that I can take some much needed time to really nurture my family? Which brings me to what I'm soooooo excited to share with you. So make sure you listen to the end of the episode! Rate and Review Here!

We talked a lot about porn and sex on this episode. First of all if that is something that you struggle with please, please, do not feel judged. If you are feeling guilty, or shamed, know that is not of God. That is straight from the devil, and he wants exactly that- to have those grips on you. Know that you are bigger than all of your “junk in the trunk” and God can use even your worst decision or most embarrassing moment to bring glory and honor to Him… If you invite Him to do so. I'm not here to tell you what to do and what not to do, I'm just here to say ask yourself: “at the end of the day does this action really make me feel good, or is it wreaking havoc in my life?” Sometimes we let these little things become big problems in our lives, they get a grip on us and we are here to give you that loving nudge to rise up and to remind you that you are BIGGER and GREATER than even your worst decision! The Bible tells us we all sin and we all fall short, and my sin is no SMALLER than yours. That being said let me remind you that God is the creator of sex, and He wants it to be a blessing inside of our marriages! So if you are struggling in any of these areas I hope that this episode blesses you and takes you to a new level. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. Proverbs 5:18-19“Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won't be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.” 1 Corinthians 7:5 NLTRate and Review Here!
