Ep.74 What To Think About Before Marriage

In today's episode I give my perspective on marriage. I recorded this episode just weeks before I got married.

I was a man who had to go through many internal transformations to get me to a point where I was ready for marriage. I believe I have some powerful insights that will be helpful for any person preparing for marriage or who wants to improve their marriage or relationship.

In todays show I cover the following topics:

-Commitment: To grow as an individual and succeed as a team. Marriage is not a guarantee, and there will need to be a lifetime full of commitment to make it work.

-Changing paradigms and beliefs around marriage. Many times our beliefs or perspectives around marriage are not exactly the same as our partners. It is essential to communicate them, to be able to meld your beliefs together.

-I explain why it is so important to implement self work, personal development, and understand the process of change. Having the formula to self improvement will be an important factor for a successful relationship.

-The importance of not becoming complacent. I explain why the phrase "you should accept me for who I am" is controversial and how it can lead to complacency. 

-I talk about why I believe couples should be beyond the 'honeymoon' phase before getting married.

I hope you enjoy my insights, and this episode!
