Healthy families are built on healthy communication, but that doesn't come naturally. In Ephesians, Paul gives us clear, practical rules for how to speak the truth, handle anger, and build others up with our words. This message will help you break toxic patterns and replace them with grace-filled communication that strengthens your relationships. Text: Ephesians 4:25-32 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Unhealthy families have similar dynamics regardless of what their specific problems are. They are complicated and hard to untangle. There are common unspoken rules that everyone knows they have to abide by, even though doing so ensures that the dysfunctional drama continues.  Yet there is a way to change dysfunctional family rules to healthy rules and decrease the family drama. You may not be able to do it with everyone, but you can start with one dysfunctional relationship and make healthy relationship changes by how you act and react.  If you want to change dysfunctional family rules to healthy rules, watch this video to find out how.  #dysfunctionalfamily  #healthyrelationship #dysfunctionalrelationship #familydrama     Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2aJ0dcB6of0

Whether you're exploring personal development, mental health, or just learning how to stop overthinking every life choice — this one's for you.

You've heard that communication is essential for a healthy marriage, but it's also absolutely essential for a healthy family. In today's episode, I'm walking you through the six communication rules we use in the Brown family to help reduce misunderstandings, strengthen emotional connection, and stop wasting precious time and energy on hurt feelings.  These rules have helped us build trust, keep our hearts soft, and truly listen to one another, even when big feelings are involved. And these rules aren't just what I use with my kids as their mother. It's how my husband and I interact, too, which has created a vibrant and fun marriage that we both enjoy! But you know what my favorite part about using these rules as a family? Now that we've been practicing them as a family, the kids use these rules amongst themselves now, too! I'm super excited to share them with you today! Grab your earbuds and join me for: The Six Brown Family Rules of Communication. Join Happy, Holy Mama and get ready for Summer Lovin' HERE!

When we get married, we get offered a lot of advice and ideas about rules that supposedly determine how to lead a happy family life: what to do, when and how to do it, and what you definitely shouldn't do. But maybe it's a better idea just to ignore all of this and not get caught up in overanalyzing everything? Other videos you might like: 11 Signs Your Love Will Last a Lifetime    • 11 Signs Your Love Will Last a Lifetime   11 Things Happy Couples Do Before They Go to Sleep    • 11 Things Happy Partners Do Before Th...   Cute Things All Couples Do But Would Never Admit    • Cute Things All Partners Do But Would...   TIMESTAMPS: Never lie to your partner 0:38 Be a weak woman for your strong man 1:08 Don't use sex as a way to make up 1:30 Spend your free time together 1:56 Find an activity you can do together 2:18 Don't argue about little things 2:45 Kids come first 3:16 Turn your life together into a party 3:43 Work on your relationship 4:07 SUMMARY: Just imagine how much irritation you could both avoid if you don't bring up all the little details when it doesn't help to do so. Remember — you married your partner as an equal. Don't turn into a capricious child; be yourself. You might sulk for a long time over a trifling matter, but you can "make up" in a way you enjoy. Do you want to take a break from each other? Then do it. Spending time together is important, but you should only do so when you want to. Quality is more important here than quantity. If he doesn't like going to the theater or to exhibitions and you have absolutely no interest whatsoever in sport, then both of you should do your own thing separately. There's no need to pass over all your grievances and complaints in silence. If you do, one day that particular landmine will go off unexpectedly, and then you'll have a serious conflict. Parents should, of course, always be there for their children when they need them and care for them as much as they can. However, you shouldn't forget about yourself and your partner when you have kids. If you genuinely get a whole lot of pleasure simply out of lounging around on the couch together at the end of a tough week, then no one has the right to condemn you. The most important thing you should do during difficult periods in your relationship is to rest, let go of your problems, and avoid creating new ones. That way you won't feel the need to let a third person into your relationship.

Ephesians 5:21-6:9This week we looked at the household codes section of Ephesians. Paul takes a well known form of a household code and completely reshapes the foundation of it. In the family of God the “rules” are different and are modeled off of our Savior who did not seek to be served but rather to serve others.

Elliott and I continue our series on how to best engage with family members over the holidays with this episode devoted to family rules. All families have a “code of conduct.” Some of these expectations are well known by all members. Others operate just beneath the surface.  How do we manage family rules now that we're adults? How do we navigate the expectations of our family and then adjust to those of our spouse's family—especially when these rules are so very different? And furthermore, what if our family's rules violate the values we now hold as adults? Can we interact with respect for our loved ones while maintaining our integrity and authenticity? Join us to learn how to identify your family of origin's covert rules to ascertain how they may be impacting you and your relationships.  You CAN remain true to your values and ethics while simultaneously enjoying your family this holiday season!   Sponsor The Wellness Company Website: ⁠https://www.twc.health/lovelife⁠ Code: LOVELIFE for 15% off your order!

What are you preparing for right now? A trip? Dinner? Getting your crew ready to go back to school? Well, in this episode, we're talking about how to prepare for something a whole lot more fun. We're talking about how you can prepare spiritually and physically to receive more peace.   "One of our Heavenly Father's shining characteristics is that He is a peacemaker."   Discussing three ways to prepare for peace is today's guest Brooke Walker.  Brooke is the host of Family Rules on BYUtv and if you live in Utah, you know her as the host of Studio 5.   Top takeaways from this episode: Brooke shares how there are physical and spiritual ways to prepare yourself for peace. Her three ways are: Read the book: Physical action: We have to do the work! No shortcuts, no hacks. Lean in. Embrace the effort. Celebrate the effort!Spiritual action: Literal meaning of the phrase here, we need to be in the scriptures. Carve out white space:Physical action: When our physical surroundings reflect the lives we want to live, we are able to be more in touch with our internal feelings. Clear out a space--even if it's just a chair in your home--that feels like a place where you can connect with the Spirit. Spiritual action: See out the quiet and solace of the temple, a literal white space for you to attend. If your life is too busy for that to be a regular event, take the time to be quiet and still. Anticipate it:Physical action: Look for it all around you and pay attention to what you want to be more of a focus in your life. You will see more of it when you look for it.Spiritual action: Trust that God will fill you with peace. He is a God of peace and it is one of his greatest strengths.   Small and simple action: Take the time to implement these three principles into your life this week. Read even just a little of the Book of Mormon each day to "read the book." Perhaps make your bed every morning as a practice of "carving out white space." Look for Heavenly Father's signs that he is sending you peace and know that it is coming.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What are some weird family rules you had to deal with back in the day while living at home? 

This week, Dr. Jeannette Lofas joins me to discuss why the step-family unit differs entirely from a traditional family. She explains why the science, rules, and roles of the step-family are uniquely distinct. Dr. Lofas also shares insights and advice about how to make the step-family structure work for your changing family, following divorce and remarriage.  Jeannette Lofas, Ph.D., is a pioneering authority in stepfamily relationships, divorce, remarriage, and children. She is also the founder and president of the Stepfamily Foundation -- the first organization in the world devoted solely to the problems and challenges encountered in step relationships.  Featured topics include: The step-family cannot and will not function as an intact family (12:03) Why identifying roles in the step-family system and defining rules is important (13:41) The role of the step-mother or step-parent (15:24) Dr. Lofas shares some of the rules of the step-family (22:19) The issue with the phrase “blended family” (28:07) Resources & Links: Information and links may also be found at: https://kateanthony.com/podcast/episode-214-navigating-step-family-relationships-with-dr-jeannette-lofas/ Join me for a special Split UP: The TEEN Years screening event on Friday, May 12th!

Dr. Lofas herself is a divorcee, successfully remarried. (She is also a stepchild and a stepmother.) She has been helping stepfamilies for more than four decades and said there is not a question she hasn't answered. Dr. Lofas believes that the stepfamily does not and cannot function as a biological family. Author of four books, she has deep and specific knowledge of the science of the stepfamily system where the roles and rules are very different from traditional marriages. More an expert consultant than a traditional therapist, Lofas offers an approach which is actionable, practical and solution based to help you succeed in this different dynamic. She defines responsibilities and contributions for every member of the stepfamily and teaches communication skills, focusing on positivity, manners, visitation, the prior spouse, co-parenting and more. Dr. Lofas believes solutions come from education about how to manage stepfamily relationships – and she speaks to everyone in the family. Lofas is also a Certified Divorce and Co-Parenting Mediator. Lofas is former TV reporter/film critic for ABC, NBC and CBS. In her linked in profile she provides some background as to how she became a stepfamily expert: "When I remarried I found myself lost and in conflict within my own new family. I was amazed to find that my beloved husband sided with his four girls rather than me. Before we got marred his girls and I were best of pals. I was devastated. My husband and I began fighting over his not taking my side, discipline, putting his children before me, and my 10-year-old son. Dismayed I contacted every therapist in the state and then began to call all over the US. There was no one there. Having come out of TV on air broadcast news and being an experienced interviewer I turned to looking for and talking to others in similar situations. From that information I created my first book. LIVING IN STEP: A Remarriage Manual. As a result people started asking me for advice. I decided to make a career transition and to counsel people who had remarried with children. My reputation as a writer and counselor spread so that I was invited as a guest on such TV programs as Oprah, Montel Williams, The Today show, CBS Morning News and Fox. I have also been interviewed by periodicals such as the NY Times, The Ladies Home Journal (Woman of the Month) and Vogue to name a few. I live in constant gratitude and delight watching my client families grow from chaos and conflict to laughter and love." Dr. Lofas is the recipient of a 1995 presidential award for her ‘outstanding efforts in strengthening step relationships across America' and is president of the Stepfamily Foundation https://www.stepfamily.org/, a not-for-profit that she founded in 1976. She is the author of Living In Step, with Ruth Roosevelt, McGraw-Hill, 1976; He's OK, She's OK: Honoring the Differences Between Men & Women, Tzedakah, 1995; Family Rules, Kensington Books, 1998; and Stepparenting, 3rd Edition May 2004, Citadel Books, one of the largest selling books of its kind.

In Episode 60, Sara and Kyle, LPCs, discuss how setting rules in a family may have unintended outcomes. Why do so many families see this as an integral part of parenting?

Do your kids know your rules of life?  Do you know your rules of life?  I've got the Vroman Family values, but I've never put pen to paper on what our “rules of life” really are.  My guest today, and FRD brother, Kasim Aslam has an unbelievable approach to sharing his rules of life with his boys (we go deep into this during the show, and you can see the rules of life below). Also, let's talk about habits for a minute.  Yeah…you've probably read all the books, listened to all the shows, but most dads haven't taken a deep dive into the habits they've stacked, to really know if those habits are serving their family in the best way possible.  During my chat with Kasim, we explore all elements of rules, values, habits  — and Kasim tells exactly how he's approached this through written, spoken, and visual aids.  When I was 11 years old my dad inducted me into the “FHA”, a secret club he created that was meant to give me some important core life values. Now that it is almost my turn to initiate my own kids into the club, I've found myself reflecting on the values and habits I am instilling in them. I hope you find this show as insightful as I did.  Kasim Aslam Podcast Highlights How to create “Rules of Life” for your family Learn how to instill great habits in your kids, without forcing it on them. Help your kids use their cultural backgrounds as inspiration for the way they live, not as a limitation. Ending generational cycles of bad habits, and starting newer and healthier ones. Finding the unshakable core values you believe in and want your kids to believe in.
