In this episode, I'm getting super real and vulnerable with you guys about the things I often quietly struggle with behind the scenes as a Christian, wife, mom, and influencer. From insecurities and fear of man to mom guilt, marriage struggles, and feeling unqualified in my faith sometimes, I wanted to remind you that no one has it all together. Social media can make us believe everyone else is perfect, but the truth is—we're all fighting battles. I share honestly about comparison, performative Christianity, balancing motherhood with work, and how God meets us even in our weakness. My prayer is that this episode helps you feel less alone and reminds you that vulnerability, testimony, and bringing things into the light are where true freedom begins.

Marriage is a good thing to be desired, but too often there's a gap between marital expectations and marital reality. Join us for a candid conversation on how marriage is different than expected, why it can be a challenge to love and respect your spouse, and why even though marriage is different than what we expected, it is even better in some ways. A Q&A session concludes the night.

In this episode, Zane and I chat about expectations in marriage: what's healthy, what's unrealistic, and how to tell the difference. In fact, this conversation came out of a session we recently had with our young marrieds small group, and it prompted us to reflect on our own 38 years of marriage.  We talk through the areas where expectations can easily create tension—like communication, household roles, and finances—and share six practical questions you can use to evaluate whether your expectations are realistic or ridiculous.  Through honest conversation and real-life examples, our hope is to help you identify what may be causing frustration and move toward a more grace-filled, realistic approach to your marriage. 6 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF TO EVALUATE YOUR MARRIAGE EXPECTATIONS: Would this expectation reasonably apply to most healthy adults, or does it require a unique skill set, luck, or a specific personality? Is this something my spouse can fully control? Is this expectation sustainable over time? Am I consistently offering what I expect from my spouse? How often does this expectation lead to disappointment and resentment in me? Where is this expectation coming from within me?   WHERE TO LISTEN The SavvyCast is available on all podcasting platforms and YouTube.

In this podcast episode, I reflect on the expectations I had about marriage before I got married and how they contrast with the realities of married life. When my husband and I were dating and engaged, I envisioned a perfect, equal partnership where we both shared responsibilities and had everything under control.   However, as we began our married life, I realized that marriage is not always a 50-50 split. Sometimes, one of us does more in certain areas of life, and that's completely normal.    One of the essential pieces of advice my husband and I give others is that communication is key. We constantly talk about our expectations and workload distribution, ensuring we understand each other's needs and perspectives. It's crucial to avoid building resentment by having these conversations and problem-solving together.   Marriage is not always fair, and life throws curveballs our way, but it's how we handle these challenges together that defines our relationship. We prioritize our marriage, making time for each other, and keeping the flame alive by going on dates and having fun like we did during our dating days. Remember, it's not about a perfect 50-50 balance but rather about being a team and supporting each other through all seasons of life.

Recorded October 25, 2020Guest notes:Vernita Griffith is a wife, mother, MeeMee, entrepreneur, trainer, lover of family and an unshakable optimist dedicated to enriching relationships and shining a positive light on marriages. I met Vernita at my church where She and her husband Ken are the leaders of the marriage ministry. I've attended a number of her workshops , y'all she is skilled at getting you to have fun while you learn and take on sometimes challenging content... and she is the bomb. Very passionate about her work. She truly seems to be doing her life's work.Discussion Questions:Did your husband come with an instruction manual? Has your marriage met your expectations from the beginning to now?At what point to you reset your expectations and what point to you stop compromising?Is your spouse really broken or just not molded into the shape you want them to be?What are the keys to communicating effectively in marriage?Should you marry for love or friendship? Quotes:"I've been married about 24 years and around 15 years in I discovered how I was really part of the problem. I blamed him for 15 years!" - RhumelI blamed him for not doing what I wanted him to do. - RhumelIt did take a while to figure out my husband is not a pushover, I can't tell him what to do... I tried! - Twanda It's more about getting the groove of marriage and learning how to spend your life with another person.  - TwandaThe key is always communication. It always boils down to whether you can talk to each other. - VernitaI think as couples we don't think enough in terms teams. – VernitaMy husband and I are on the same team and we are in it to win it together. - VernitaMentions:GuestPodcast/Website: TriTeamUnited.comShow: AfterTheIDoShow.comurl: True Color Personality Assessmenturl: Our Love Languages Episodeurl:  Enrich your Life Series: Mommy Retreats Please support our podcast:Please rate/review, subscribe and share!!Cashapp: $GirrrlPodcastDonate: PatreonHave a question or topic you want us to talk about?
