Ep. 142 - Anniversary Special: What We’ve Learned About Marriage and Doing Business Together
We just celebrated 17 years of marriage and we thought we’d record an episode during our getaway while the thoughts are fresh in our mind. What have we learned about marriage and doing business together?
Being married brings along it’s own set of rewards and challenges but working together can make very interesting. What we’ve learned through counseling and working at our relationship is as long as you have the right tools, you can do anything together. And there aren’t any challenges you can’t work through together.
Can you avoid conflict? No. But understanding that having to work through different points of view is a good thing. In this episode we summarize some of the do’s and dont’s in a relationship based on our experience.
