MFP 176: Intentional Family Life

The family is a kind of school of deeper humanity. But if it is to achieve the full flowering of its life and mission, it needs the kindly communion of minds and the joint deliberation of spouses.  Gaudium et Spes 52. How do you live life intentionally?  You plan for it!  And when you are a family, that plan starts with taking some time to have a "deep dive" conversation with your spouse.  A tool we have designed to guide this conversation is called "The Family Board Meeting".  Think about it this way, your family is your own little corporation and you are president of the board.  Well, maybe not exactly, but you and your spouse are the partners in running your home, and how can you do that effectively without a plan?  Once a year it's a good idea to get away, dream a little and set some goals.  The most important part of this conversation is not making the perfect goals or having the ultimate budget or schedule.  It's actually about having a unified vision as a couple for what you want your family to be. That's what it's all about.  Listen in as we discuss this valuable tool for you and your family.  (This podcast is a throwback to 2015!)   Free Webinar and Worksheet: https://www.messyfamilyproject.org/family-board-meeting/   Family Board Meeting Workshop: https://messyfamilyhood.com/family-board-meeting-registration/    Mother Daughter course: https://messyfamilyhood.com/women-signup/  Dads vs Wild course: https://messyfamilyhood.com/dadsvswild/
