Marriage Maxxing: 6 Conversations Every Couple Needs To Have #73

Marriage is not just about finding the right person.It is also about having the conversations that most couples assume they will 'work out later'.In this episode, we talk through six areas that couples should discuss before marriage, before children, and then revisit as life changes:• Money• Kids and parenting• Day-to-day life• Ambitions and dreams• Values• Extended familyHow much do you want to save?What kind of life are you actually trying to build?Do you want children?What does parenting look like when both people work?Whose career takes priority when opportunities collide?How involved will extended family be?What are the values you simply will not compromise on?The point is not that couples need identical answers.The point is that resentment grows when expectations remain unspoken.We talk about the assumptions people carry into relationships from childhood, traditional roles, money fears, family dynamics and previous experiences, and why some of the most important conversations in a marriage are MISALIGNMENTS in expectations.Because it is much better to have the difficult conversation six years before the problem arrives than six weeks after.In Short:Marriage maxxing.Money, parenting, careers, ambition, lifestyle, values, extended family, resentment, expectations and the conversations that make a relationship stronger before life puts it under pressure.Find us here:Digital Resources: Therackycunninghamcollective.comInstagram: @letsjuststartpodcastTiktok: @letsjuststartpodcastYoutube: @LetsJustStartPodcastLaura Insta: @laura.rackyLaura Tiktok: @laurarackyChristian Insta: @leaderbiltacademyChristian Tiktok: @leaderbiltLeadership training and coaching: Leaderbilt.co
