Some of the most common questions we receive (and this has been consistent over the past 8 years) is how to make a marriage work. And, with the breakdown of my own marriage over the past year, it’s clear to me more than ever how hard the union between two people can be. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible and it doesn’t mean it isn’t worth pursuing.

The benefits of marriage are plenty including the shared responsibilities, the fulfillment found in service to another, and the growth that must take place in order for a marriage to work. Today, I’m joined by Seth and Melanie Studley who focus on helping couples work through their marital challenges and create a thriving relationship. We talk getting back to the basics, the growth vs. fixed mindset, why men must cast vision, common mistakes in marriage, how to recognize the tests of women, and so much more.

Battle Ready

In his book, The War of Art, Steven Pressfield introduces us to the concept of “resistance” that gets in the way of the results we desire. I’ve found this phenomenon to be so true in my own personal life from an unexpected major expense as soon as I pay off debt, to an injury as I’m finally on the path to consistent physical health improvement, to a response to a global pandemic that shuts down the economy when my business is firing on all cylinders.

It's not a question of if something will derail you but when. And, if you don’t have a plan to deal with it, it’s going to knock you off your feet. That’s why it so crucial you develop a plan to not only account for setbacks but keep you on the path you desire.

That’s where our free Battle Ready program comes into play and when you get signed up, you’re going to receive access to 17 emails that are going to walk you through everything you need to know to deal with “the resistance” of life.
