Realationship

In chaotic times, our relationships usually take the biggest hit.  We react without processing, we lash out, we speak from frustration...you know all the typical recipes for disaster. Over the past 12 months, we have experienced periods of extreme chaos that have led us to today's discussion - one that we only recently came to really understand: the importance of building FOUNDATIONS that lift you through the chaos and even allow you to grow WITHIN it. So, let's chat. . contact us: Maria@LifePulseinc.com or Matt@LifePulseinc.com

This week we were out in New Mexico with friends, and a topic came up...what do you do when your spouse is no longer doing the things he/she did when you first started dating? You know the things that ATTRACTED you to them? Today we break down the feeling you get on the days when you may find yourself saying: THIS ISN’T WHO I MARRIED.

Just because we are in a relationships doesn’t automatically mean that we get sprinkled with magic fairy dust that makes us joyfully stop wanting to do all the things we want to do. So what do you do in these moments of “selfish ambition”? Today on the podcast, we unpack what it looks like to “do what we want” in relationship and how to handle it when you’re significant other decides to do what they want. This one is fiery! Don’t miss it.

Help...this doesn’t feel like help! Have you ever been “helped” by someone and in the end it just didn’t feel very helpful? Or have your ever tried helping someone and they didn’t seem to receive it very well? What happens when that person is your significant other? Today we talk about what help in relationships, marriage, dating and more sometimes looks like...and how to make it, well, more helpful! We carry today’s episode out with a serious debate on something significant in everyone’s childhood...so stick around for it!

We love social media. But one thing about it really bothers us...especially when it comes to relationships. Can you guess it? Grab a glass of bourbon or a beer and join us for today’s episode where we breakdown how to “do” and “not do” social media in relationships. Stick around for the end as Matt bashes Maria’s favorite television program...

I love a good fight...and sometimes, well most of the time, it’s not the healthiest thing to love. But, today we talk about the difference between arguments and disagreements...why both aren’t necessarily “bad”...and how to navigate when you’re in too deep. We are coming to you live from Eagle Univesity (EagleU.org) - the country’s most impactful and most comprehensive youth leadership and success program. Don’t miss it!

Episode 6 doesn’t disappoint. We recorded this episode in an Uber after a flight into NYC last week. If you are going through a difficult season as a couple or family, this is a must listen. We are living through today’s episode right now. We are exploring the uncertainty of being parents of a special needs kiddo along with a major move and evolving businesses....oh yeah and a newborn. Can you relate to any of that? It’s short, but packed with punches. Let’s do this! Um...and we end the episode with Disney princesses...so you know it’s a good one!

Do you know who you’re sleeping with? Listen along as we dive into the nitty gritty of how to really know the person you keep waking up next to. This one could change your relationship, it changed ours...well actually it started it all! Don’t miss it.

In Episode 4 we dive into the ONE thing we all think we know about our significant other - what motivates them. But do we really know? Today, we dive into the MOTIVATION CATALYST ASSESSMENT - how to know what motivates your spouse - and how you can use that to strengthen your marriage, your relationship, your family...whatever you want! We promise this one will leave you with the tools you need to take action. You can take your own assessment here: www.lifepulseinc.com/mca

In episode 3, we cover a listener request that hit a little too close to home this week. What do you do when you feel like you’re climbing uphill with a rock filled backpack while your partner is dancing around happily in their underwear while drinking margaritas and eating gourmet macaroons? Well, Matt and Maria share about the crazy season they are in right now...and how they handle it when they feel like they are the only one in the relationship doing any work! Plus, stick around to hear why one thing makes Maria better than Matt...or at least she thinks so.

What if one idea could transform your relationship? Well, for us, that one idea was a unique spin on a monthly date that causes lots of people to give us weird looks. Check out why our marriage is stronger all because of something crazy that happens on the first Tuesday of every month. This one thing has not only helped us, but has saved some of our friends’ marriages from divorce and brought new life back into tired relationships! And of course, this Weeks’s hot debate is pretty tasty. So, come on, let’s get real...and laugh along the way.

In episode 1, we kick off with a weekly life-saving tool that has become ingrained into our marriage culture...and forever changed the way we communicate. Plus, listen in as Maria butchers one of her favorite Andy Stanley quotes on dating, Matt tells everyone why this podcast might make people breakup, and this crazy couple debates a seriously crispy topic.
