If you're single the one thing you've probably grown tired of is all the lame reasons relationships don't work out. You wish someone would just be honest, up-front, and direct about why they are ending the relationship with you. This week on the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast, we are launching our series on dating. In part 1 of the series Eric & Kristy talk about the 6 dumb things, Christians say to mess up their dating life. That's right, we're tackling the lame, stupid, and dumb break-up lines Christians use on one another. Not only are we exposing them, but we are translating them. We're taking the dumbest things we've heard, had others tell us, and have been communicated to our friends and calling them out. For the first time ever we're doing a series for all our unmarried and single friends. If you are married, that doesn't mean this isn't for you. You probably know someone who is in the dating scene and could use advice like this in their lives. Or, someone may come to you looking for your advice and we promise this will be the best thing you've heard. Or, better yet, you'll have a few laughs as you walk down memory lane of the dumb things you've heard people use when they ended the relationship with you!We promise it's not you, it's us!

"If you want to have a great marriage or relationship should be in a community" this is something we've said a lot. And, if you're like a lot of couples you've heard the same thing. In order to make this happen though, you have to find a group of people who actually help you build your relationship. You need people who can help you navigate the tough stuff, set an example for the future, and offer insight into things you wouldn't be able to figure out on your own. The problem is, finding couples who have these qualities along with others in order to create this community can be hard. What happens when you don't know what to look for? How do you even go about finding them if you've just moved? And, what happens if you've tried to find it, but they don't seem to want to get involved with you? That's why we're talking not just about the "why" or "what" behind building a great community. We're talking about the "how". In this week's episode of the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast, Eric & Kristy get into the nitty-gritty of building community. We share our best tips for finding, identifying, filtering and even attracting the right people into your relationship. Plus, we will talk about what kinds of things make a community unhealthy. These are the things to avoid and run from because they can actually hurt your relationship instead of helping it. So, if you're wondering how to build a great community, how to avoid a bad community, and what it takes to attract the right community, this episode is for you! So, sit back, grab those air pods, and enjoy another episode of The Mommy Daddy Time Podcast.

The struggle with sex is not limited to certain groups, ages, or even past experiences. It's something that ALL couples have to work on and be intentional within their marriage. The worst part is, more often than not, the one place that should be talking about sex (the church) is often silent or vague. So what happens when couples are left without answers to the real questions they have about sex? What happens when couples don't have people they can turn to and openly talk about their sex issues? Well, things don't get better. In fact they often get worse. But, it doesn't have to be this way. The truth is, you don't have to keep struggling alone in your marriage with sex. Cole and Caitlin Zick have an incredible story where they share what sex was like when they first got married. SPOILER ALERT!!! It was not the rolling in the sheets, hot-n-heavy, Hollywood movie kind of honeymoon that often gets portrayed. In fact, it was anything but. Confused, distraught, and feeling defeated they took matters into their own hands and did something that even surprised us!

Even though he didn't exactly fit the picture Sierra had in mind, they fell in love anyway. Now, a couple of years into their marriage, Sierra opens up to the team about the real-life pros and cons to dating someone with kids, blending a family, and what it looks like to build a strong Blended family. Inspired by a question from one of the team, we're talking through the truth about dating with kids, blending a family, and being a mom to kids that aren't biologically yours.If you have a questions you'd like talked about on the show, ask us hereask@mommydaddytimepodcast.comFollow us on social media:@mommydaddytimepodcastJoin the team by sending us an email saying, "I want to be a part of the team! 

Welcome to the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast where Eric & Kristy Upton help you go from an ok marriage to a thriving marriage! On this week's episode of the podcast Eric & Kristy talk about all things MONEY! That's right, they're pealing back the curtain and sharing what they did right, what they did wrong, and what they'd do the same or different if they could go back and do it all over again. If you're like a lot of couples, getting married and merging lives is one of the most exciting and also challenging times of your relationship. When it comes to money things only get more difficult. Most couples try to avoid the subject as much as possible. (to be honest, this was Eric's approach too). But what happens when you do nothing? Things only get worse! You wast money. You build bitterness, anger and resentment at one another, and worst of all, you end up making mistakes that cost you big time down the road. While there's been plenty of mistakes, there's also been some great decisions too. This week Eric and Kristy share it all.Follow us on Instagram & Facebook: @mommydaddytimepodcastRESOURCES FROM THE SHOW:1 - Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University2 - Dave Ramsey "Total Money Makeover"3 - Profit First by Mike Michalowicz4 - Suze B Orman

This week on the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast, Eric & Kristy are talking in DETAIL about the things they don't see the same way. When two people get married they each bring their own views, beliefs, perspectives and expectations. Often times, these expectations can lead to frustration, anger, bitterness and feeling like there's something wrong with your marriage. You shouldn't have to feel like you're not doing marriage right. This week Kristy and Eric share how they walked through some of their own expectations early on in marriage and the problems they lead to. Then they share with you what they've learned along the way in their marriage so that you can put the right things into your marriage to help navigate expectation vs reality.

This week on the show, Eric and Kristy talk through their first few years of marriage together. They'll share the good the bad and the ugly plus one piece of advice every couple needs to hear! Near the end of the first year of marriage, I actually sat down with Kristy and finally shared stuff I had been bottling up and hiding throughout our entire first year of marriage. "I thought I was doing amazing at being a wife because he never said anything before then. When he finally told me what he had been holding onto, I felt like the rug just got pulled out from under me!"The first year of marriage was eye opening to us and we thought we would spend some time talking through the things we loved, hated, and wished we could do over about the first few years of marriage. We've boiled down our insights to four key things we would tell any couple who were just starting out on their journey of marriage. So if you or someone you know is just getting started, or could use some encouragement along the way. share this episode and get ready for some good ol fashioned note taking! 

Let's face it, falling into a rut in your relationship is one of the easiest things you can have happen. When you first get married things are so new, exciting, and fun! You love being together, doing stuff with one another, and the more you spend time with one another the better. Then, over time, the relationship rut sneaks in and begins to break down your relationship slowly and surely. When you have kids, it only gets harder. What happens to couples not paying attention to this, or working to break through the relationship rut they're in? Well, things only get worse. You stop feeling as connected. Your intimacy goes way down. Sex becomes an afterthought at best. You grow distant and then a part. Before you know it, you're more room-mates than a spouses. It doesn't have to be this way. We know what it feels like to be in a relational rut. After almost 10 years of marriage, three kids, a major move, and tons of ministry it feels like so many other things demand your attention first before you give it to your relationship. But, we've discovered a few simple things that if done consistently will help you break through and avoid relationship ruts for good. If you want to get out of a relationship rut and go from room-mates to lovers again, listen to this episode NOW!This episode can help you:+ Feel more connected+ Re-spark your intimacy+ Feel like you first did when you got married+ Stop relational ruts from coming back againEnjoy the show! Follow us on Social Media!Instagram: @mommydaddytimepodcastFacebook.com/mommydaddytimepodcastEmail: Ask@mommydaddytimepodcast.com

If you're anything like most couples you could be in a rut sexually. Sure, maybe you've tried convincing yourself that all couples experience a rut sexually. After all, now that kids, careers, life, and everything else is in the picture, having sex regularly isn't exactly a top priority. Or, maybe it's just that "gettin' busy" feels more like a business transaction than the cosmic co-mingling it once was. Regardless of how or why you got to where you are, one thing is for sure, staying in a rut sexually WILL KILL YOUR MARRIAGE!!!You shouldn't have to settle when it comes to your sex life. Trust us, we know how hard it can be to make sex a priority in your marriage. Whether you're a busy couple with no kids, you have a new-born, toddlers, or even active kid-kids like us sex can take a back seat way too often!So, what happens if you do nothing? Well, things only get worse. You go from being two madly in love people who can't stop gushing over each other and taking instagram selfies every 10-minutes to basically room-mates who cohabitate and share chores and bills. If you struggle with where your sex life currently is vs where you think it should be listen to this episode where we will share:+ How to recognize if you're in a sex-rut+ How to break out of a sex-rut+ How to Avoid a Sex-rut in the future+ Some of the struggles we've had personally in our own story+ MoreYou shouldn't have to have an ordinary, boring, or lack-luster sex life. Sex shouldn't be a once in a while thing you're looking to just "get through". You should have amazing, room shaking, earth quaking, mind-blowing sex with your spouse that you not only enjoy, but look forward to!Not sure I mentioned Sex enough in this post...So, without further delay.
