It is a fact that over time, people's physical appearances are prone to change. Unfortunately, attraction based on aesthetics or “looks” often overshadow the substance of love in relationships. Ultimately, people often lose attraction for their partners because of frequent exposure to images and videos of the opposite sex via social media. As humans, we are inclined to compare and either consciously or subconsciously determine how our partners measure up to the standard. Some may argue that a “new normal” has been created, suggesting that media is reshaping the ideals of beauty in today's society. With increased accessibility to this provocative content in the palms of our hands daily, do you believe that we are somewhat desensitized to our partners? In today's episode, we share a video that states that men and women should be cautious about their visual intake and influences, in order to maintain their attraction to their partners. Do you agree? Let's talk about it!

Navigating the need for personal time as parents can be challenging, especially when children are unable to grasp the concept of privacy.

Our purpose is grounded in family, love, and faith." This quote from the Casey's upcoming book, set for release on April 16th, serves as a comprehensive guide for raising a family. This episode emphasizes the crucial importance of fostering trust with your children by always being truthful. It's essential never to lie to your kids, as dishonesty may seem like an easy solution but ultimately causes more harm than good. Parents must lead by example, and the Caseys share their own experiences on how this approach has positively impacted their family. Patience is vital in building trust, regardless of how long it takes to address issues. Often, parents lack the time to explain why certain actions are wrong. The Caseys also discuss their "family mission" statement, a set of rules everyone agrees upon to navigate their shared journey as a family. Does your family have a mission statement? Comment below, let's talk about it…

Many parents eagerly anticipate their children reaching the age of 18, a milestone often recognized by society as the transition into adulthood. As a parent, do you expect your children to contribute to household responsibilities once they secure a job, regardless of the family's financial situation? Should the burden of responsibility and financial obligations fall on an 18-year-old or any child capable of earning an income? This discussion also extends into more personal realms, such as whether it is acceptable to work alongside an ex-partner. Let's talk about it…

During many of our upbringings, our parents or caregivers often spoke their minds freely regarding our intellectual, athletic, or artistic abilities. In other words, they gave us “the real”. In contrast, contemporary parents tend to adopt a more permissive approach, frequently neglecting to provide honest feedback about their children's strengths and weaknesses in order to comfort them and inadvertently provide a false sense of security. Which one of these ideologies describes your parenting approach best? Are you a realist or a “Yes Mom”? Let's talk about it…

How would you feel if your partner charged you interest on money that they borrowed from you?

Trauma is not a choice; it reflects how an individual reacts to distressing experiences. Past traumas in relationships can significantly affect new connections. Mistrust can undermine the foundation of any relationship. It's crucial to understand that acting on insecurities, such as checking your partner's phone, only serves to deepen feelings of distrust. How does it make you feel when your partner consistently monitors your activities, examines your phone, and questions your every move? Let's talk about it…

Change is crucial for growth. In best case scenarios, we learn from our past decisions. A rough history doesn't inevitably define our future. In your opinion - Can a person's dating history (or any history) dictate who you perceive them to be today, or who you believe they will become in the future? Do you believe in change and self-betterment or do you hold a person hostage to their past? Let's talk about it…

Attention is a fundamental need for many individuals, and children are no exception. It is crucial to prioritize one-on-one time with each child, especially when managing the demands of a larger family. "Dating your kids" – dedicating focused attention and quality time with each child individually – can help ensure that the attention and care they receive does not diminish when they are grouped together. Do you agree that this personalized approach to attention and engagement is essential for nurturing healthy, thriving children, even in larger families? Let's talk about it…
