"Relationships require communication."—Dr. Chris Cody

Financial planning is an essential aspect of life, but every family handles their money a little differently. The Money Wisdom podcast tackled a common question: what happens when one spouse handles all financial matters, leaving the other uninformed? This scenario, while common, can create stress and uncertainty for family members, particularly adult children who may be concerned about their parents' financial security. Discover practical strategies to ensure that both partners are informed and prepared, and learn how to involve adult children in these important discussions.

The conversation is filled with humor and personal anecdotes, making it relatable and engaging for listeners interested in adult discussions about intimacy and relationships.TakeawaysThe podcast is intended for adults over 18.Marriage can be viewed as a contract, both legally and personally.Communication is essential in any relationship, especially in non-traditional ones.Trust is a fundamental aspect of their relationship.Boundaries should be established and respected in the swinger lifestyle.Contracts in relationships can be verbal or unwritten, but they are still important.It's crucial to ensure all parties are aware of the rules in non-monogamous relationships.The hosts emphasize the importance of mutual understanding and agreement in relationships.Humor plays a significant role in their discussions about serious topics.The podcast serves as a form of therapy for the hosts.

“Let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.” - Ephesians 5:33Love and respect are often conveyed in the words that spouses choose to communicate. Those words can have a big impact on the marriage relationship. Kathleen Edelman joins us to discuss choosing the right words for your spouse.Kathleen Edelman is the author of “I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication.” She is certified in biblical studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over thirty years coaching clients in communication.The Key to Healthy Communication in MarriageCommunication styles are the key to understanding one another. There's a big gray area between what we say and what our spouse hears. Each temperament speaks its own language, and we must apply it to become fluent in our spouse's language.Many marital conflicts appear to be about money, parenting, or household responsibilities, but at their core, they stem from miscommunication. Recognizing that your spouse's temperament affects how they express and receive information is the first step toward reducing misunderstandings.One of the biggest communication pitfalls is assumption—assuming that your spouse speaks and understands your language. That's not true. We each speak our own language and must become fluent in our spouse's language.Another common trap is operating out of our weaknesses rather than our strengths. Ask yourself: “What part did I play in this miscommunication?”“How can I choose differently to stay in my strengths?”Most miscommunication is not intentional, she emphasizes. Rather, it's a result of speaking different emotional and verbal languages.The Power of Words: Choosing to Build Up, Not Tear DownEphesians 4:29 reminds us:"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."Our words hold incredible power. They can either build up or tear down our spouse. Learning to communicate in a way that blesses rather than wounds is a game changer in marriage.Listening is a critical skill in communication, and there are three key practices for improving it:The Power of the Pause—Before responding, take a moment to reflect. Instead of reacting to what was said, focus on why it was said. Listening to Understand—Rather than formulating your response while your spouse is talking, actively listen to grasp their perspective. Responding, Not Reacting—Choose words carefully, ensuring they are constructive rather than defensive.We should desire that every word that comes out of our mouths be a gift to the person we speak to.Of course, it's also crucial to remember that communication is more than words—it includes body language, tone, and facial expressions. Our temperament even affects how we express ourselves nonverbally. Everything you do is motivated by the design God gave you. Understanding how our spouse interprets our nonverbal cues can help avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.Understanding Temperaments in MarriageA significant takeaway from Kathleen's work is the importance of understanding temperaments—both our own and our spouse's. Kathleen's book includes an inventory to help couples identify their temperament, which can be a game changer in communication.Each temperament has specific needs that shape how they engage in communication:Yellows (Sanguine)—Need fun, people, and spontaneity. They may struggle with feeling restricted.Reds (Choleric)—Need goals, control, and results. They want to be part of decision-making.Blues (Melancholic)—Need security and order. They may be hesitant to spend money without planning.Greens (Phlegmatic)—Need balance and peace. They want to avoid conflict and seek compromise.When couples recognize these differences, it fosters empathy and prevents unnecessary frustration.Money is a significant source of marital conflict, but these disagreements often stem from temperament differences more than financial realities.Yellows love generosity but also crave financial security. They may struggle with balancing saving and spontaneous giving.Reds want financial goals and a clear plan for achieving them.Blues prioritize security and tend to be more cautious with money.Greens seek balance and prefer avoiding financial stress.Understanding why your spouse approaches money how they do can foster mutual respect and teamwork. Instead of seeing their perspective as frustrating, you can recognize it as their God-given design.Keeping Communication Strong Over the YearsAs years pass, spouses may drift apart if they stop investing in communication. That's why couples are encouraged to stay in dating mode:Remember why you fell in love. Remember when you were dating—you put your best of yourself forward. Keep doing that. Look for the best in your spouse. Instead of focusing on their weaknesses, celebrate their strengths. Avoid complacency. Once you become content, weaknesses start to show up. Then, instead of appreciating differences, you try to change your spouse.When couples continue dating and choose to love each other through words and deeds, their marriages stay strong.The ultimate goal is authenticity—becoming exactly who God designed you to be while learning to love your spouse for who they are. When you reach authenticity, you're free. You're not trying to be someone else or change your spouse. You're showing up as yourself, using words that honor God.The Bible contains over 120 verses about words, making it clear how we communicate matters. When we build up rather than tear down, we strengthen our marriage, our family, and our faith.By understanding how God designed us, learning to listen, and choosing words that build up, we can create marriages filled with grace, love, and true understanding.If you want to transform your marriage through better communication, consider picking up a copy of Kathleen's book, I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:We have the opportunity to buy a home from my friend's father for $300,000, which is listed at $350,000.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of marriage with a discussion about the importance of loving communication within your marital relationship. Are you communicating with your spouse in a way that is loving or is your communication method causing more conflict? We had Dr. Gary Chapman join the conversation to provide some insight on how to recognize your partner’s love language and how to resolve conflict without arguing. Dr. Chapman is a well-known marriage counselor, speaker, pastor and author. He has authored many books including, “A Simple Guide for a Better Marriage: Quick, Practical Insights Every Couple Needs to Thrive.” We also had a special performance from Young Thunder as he sang along with Nat King Cole in the song “L-O-V-E.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew Showcast.

Sometimes, we like to imagine that business success can be separated from success in other areas of life. But as Meny Hoffman, host of the "Let's Talk Business" podcast, often says, life is like a car with four wheels: the wheels of spiritual goals, financial goals, health goals, and family goals; if one wheel is flat, the others won't do much good. In this conversation with international speaker, bestselling author, business coach, and CEO of Self-Mastery Academy Rabbi Shmuel Reichman, Meny and Shmuel discuss the importance of personal development as a part of business success, the need to create an integrated life, the necessity of having a vision and the ways to divide that vision into bite-size goals, avoiding irrational fears of failure, having partners to whom you can be accountable, and much more.   In our episode, Rabbi Reichman emphasizes the necessity of accountability and having a supportive network when pursuing new goals or personal development. Our conversation highlights the need for balanced growth across spiritual, financial, health, and family aspects to sustain long-term success. We discuss the value of involving spouses in business endeavors and how shared missions and communication transform personal and professional relationships. Lastly, we discuss the role of coaching and mentorship in overcoming obstacles and guiding personal and professional development, including Rabbi Reichman's approach to integrating therapy, coaching, and consulting. This and so much more on the "Let's Talk Business" podcast... Let's dive into our conversation with Rabbi Shmuel Reichman. Timestamps:  06:05 - Devoted life to ideas and wisdom, blending worlds. 07:45 - Mission to synthesize personal development and business. 11:33 - Achieving balance across life's dimensions ensures success. 15:13 - Discovering and achieving personal and professional potential. 17:46 - Developing a vision for self-improvement and success. 22:12 - Self-improvement without needing validation from others. 24:42 - Discover and express your true self's purpose. 30:50 - Breaking down ambitious goals into manageable steps. 33:12 - Having an exercise partner is essential accountability. 36:03 - Essential hardcore success: identity, belief, mindset, persistence. 40:50 - Appreciate timeliness and impact of personal growth. 44:51 - Set a six-month deadline to transition careers. 46:01 - Embrace, control, and surround yourself for success. 49:41 - Spouse commitment surpasses business partnerships and values. 52:17 - Diverse coaching program covers therapy, coaching, consulting. 56:07 - Recognize and overcome irrational fears for success.   Practical Pointers: You often hear people say that we shouldn't mix family and business. But that's not necessarily the case. Your spouse is committed to you for the long term, has the same mission and goals as you do, and is 100% trustworthy, supportive, and cheering you on to succeed. Even when you have bite-size goals on the way to the big vision, you still need accountability. That's why having a partner is essential: a spouse, a coach, or someone else who will make sure that you're doing what you set out to do.  It's important to have a big and impressive vision; but you'll probably get discouraged if the goal appears beyond reach. Instead, divide your time into bite-size goals so that you can reach for the first step before trying to get to the second.  Learn to recognize the difference between rational and irrational fears. Too often, people are afraid of failure even though there's no reason to believe that failure is likely.  You accomplish this by thinking of a realistic time frame for something very big, then orienting this year towards one step of that goal, and this month towards one step of the yearly goal, and this day towards one step of the monthly goal.

In this message, Adrian Rogers gives insight on the roadblocks that hinder communication in marriage, and how to break free of them. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/135/29

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: 1 Peter 3:10-11 Communication is the way to joy, happiness and victory; without it, we are headed for ruin. Communication in marriage is the highest level of intimacy. If we cannot be completely honest with each other, we will drift apart. Adrian Rogers says, “Fire is a wonderful servant but a poor master; words can warm a heart or burn down a home.” 1 Peter 3:10-11 says, “He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.” Communication is the road on which words travel; that road has some blockades and potholes. Our intrinsic differences as men and women affect how we communicate. Adrian Rogers says, “Incompatibility is grounds for a great marriage. God made us different so that He might make us one.” Some couples may battle with insecurities and fears that their spouses will not accept them if they are totally open. Self-centeredness and unresolved hurts also hinder healthy communication, as they close off the openness we are to strive for. So many issues could be solved if we focused on solving them rather than on winning arguments. If we're not careful, the distractions of life or overcrowded schedules will also keep us from the good communication needed for a happy home. 1 Peter 3:8 says, “Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous…” If we want to work on our communication in marriage, we must first be sensitive to each other and deal with our own self-centeredness. Once we do that, we can resolve hurts that may be in the way of our intimacy and create a spirit of oneness. There is also so much power in the simplest ways we nurture our marriages. We must keep dating each other well after the wedding and learn to laugh. Finally, praying together as husband and wife fills the potholes on the way to intimacy and creates safe passage for healthy communication. Apply it to your life Adrian Rogers says, “Marriage anointed by the Holy Spirit is the sweetest thing on Earth, the nearest and dearest and closest thing to Heaven. It's really the only part of the Garden of Eden we have left. Work at your marriage. Determine that you will communicate with one another.”  

Communication in Marriage  Felice Mathieu God instituted the family unit as THE UNIT for operating in this earth. It's as old as humanity itself. He called the act of bringing together a man and woman to create a family unit – MARRIAGE. Amen! But, with marriage as the only “God Certified” family unit in existence, it is also important to note the devil will do everything he can to try and disrupt the marriage. Who do you think is behind this gender dysphoria going on right now? Who do you think is behind the rise in divorce rates? Who do you think is behind the problems facing families in the day and time in which we live? Our guest today is an expert in helping folks understand their roles in marriage and how to help them identify and fix problems to save the marriage. Our guest today is Felice Mathieu, who started out in life as an orphan from age 11. He had been praying for God to heal his mother – but she died… after that, he wanted nothing to do with God. But, God had other plans. Amen!  After getting married, he was led to the Lord, now – he serves Him with all his heart. Glory to God! Felice is the President of the “Marriage Sharing Corporation” – a Christian Marriage Counseling and Coaching service. In addition to being a  Christian Marriage Counselor and coach he is also the author of a great book, “20 Common Marriage Problems: A Guide & Workbook for Christian Spouses.” Help me welcome to the program, Felice Mathieu.  Felice, it is a blessing to have you on the program today! I've been looking forward to our conversation! The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Felice Mathieu” What is the difference between a “Christian Marriage Counselor” and a “Christian Marriage Coach?” Are most problems in marriage caused simply by a lack of communication? I know financial issues figure huge in marital problems, arguments, etc. How can a couple navigate this issue without feeling like they are being “nickel and dimed” to death? No two marriages are ever the same. Every marriage will have its own set of challenges. But how can couples face these challenges with a goal of supporting each other and maintaining that loving relationship – despite their differences? How do you help people in your organization? Is it online, retreats, office visits, how do you accommodate your clients that come to you for help? Before we wrap up, let's talk a minute about your book, “20 Common Marriage Problems: A Guide & Workbook for Christian Spouses.”  Why did you write this book and why publish it now? All of the information – and more – that we discussed today is in your book? How can someone order your book? Is it on Amazon? Felice, this is so interesting – and so needful in this day and time we find ourselves today. If someone has a question or would like to get more information, or maybe do an interview like this – how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I'll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, if you are currently needing services like Felice has been describing, or you know of someone who could benefit from these services, drop down into the show notes and reach out to him. Amen!  You never know how God...
