We had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Eugene Wilson and his wife, Kerri, as they shared their story of how they have navigated marriage after experiencing childhood abuse.  This is never an easy topic to discuss, but we know that there are so many people who are facing this same reality, day in and day out.

It's probably safe to say that if you're married, you and your spouses are probably not children anymore. So why do we continue to treat our spouses like they're kids who need our continued instruction and coddling? Serving your spouse is one thing, but enabling them is a whooooole different story. In this episode, we're covering the different angles of why you may be treating your spouse like that, or why they treat YOU that way.  Is it a trust issue?  The need for control?  The way you saw mom & dad treat each other, so now you're continuing the pattern? Whatever it boils down to, the point is: You're their partner, not their parent.  Put on those steel-toed shoes and let's jump in!  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/support

Mostly everyone knows what it’s like to live with a roommate. It can be great if they pay rent on time, clean up after themselves, and allow both of you to do your own thing without any questions or obligations. But once you enter into married life, that roommate stage is supposed to be over with. Or is it?  Unfortunately, so many couples are still living their normal, everyday lives, as though they’re just rooming with one another. You do your thing, I’ll do mine, and we can even have separate bedrooms! Sounds great, right? Ehhh… not exactly. This isn’t just something you wake up to one day, the separation from your spouse is a slow drift, leaving you with thoughts like “How did we get here? How did this happen?” From how to start implementing nonsexual touch, to the harsh reality of sexless marriages, to just wanting to live in peace with your “bestie”, we’re covering it all!

Ahh, young love. Sweet, sweet young love. We've BOTH been there. Actually, both of our marriages started out as young love... so this is a topic we're wildly familiar with! In this episode, we're jumping into the good, the bad, and the ugly of young love and everything that comes along with it.  Getting married young helped us both realize that there are some learning processes and life experiences that you don't necessarily have automatically. There are a lot of aspects to your marriage, and life in general, that come with age and experience. How do I know if I'm ready for marriage? How do we pay the bills? When should we have kids? When should we buy our first home? There are several things that we need to know individually before adding another person to the equation. Working on being the best version of YOU that you can be BEFORE you get married, will ultimately help set you up to be a great spouse whenever that day does come. Don't get us wrong, we're NOT saying you should not get married young—we're living proof that it CAN work! But just make sure that you are ready.

Legacies can feel daunting to achieve, but when it comes to leaving one, it’s best if you start at the end and work backward. At your funeral, how do you want people to remember you? I know, that’s pretty deep… but once you figure that one out, it boils down to making those words and ideas into a reality.  In this episode, Jeremy and Taylor dive into the ins and outs of leaving behind legacies, and what they want theirs to be. They chat about 3 areas you can leave a legacy behind: financial, spiritual, and emotional, and how to cultivate what you want out of those areas.  What does it mean to “leave a legacy”?

Welcome to 2022, where we introduce phones, iPads, and screens of every shape and size into our kiddos lives from the moment they’re old enough to focus their eyes. Don’t worry, we’re just as guilty of this. It’s so easy to give your kids a screen in order to keep them entertained, but when does it become an actual hindrance to their social development? If we’re not careful, we’ll use “screen time” as a babysitter and leave our kiddos feeling like they have to stay in a constant state of entertainment. By limiting screen time, we help teach our children how to interact with people in real life, how to dream and use their imaginations, and how to pay attention. Limits are good, boundaries are good, and kids WANT boundaries. Let’s talk about how to set them, and stick to them. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/support

Everyone has the moment when you hit a wall in your marriage, and something breaks. What you do in response to those moments is pivotal to the health of your marriage.  Let’s think about it as if your marriage is your body. In order to steer clear of sickness, you build up your immune system: you take vitamins, get familiar with your body's normals, and seek help if something is wrong.    The vitamins for your marriage would be communication, understanding, grace, and collaboration among other things. Get familiar with your spouse and how things normally work in your marriage, what is the give/take, and how do you best talk to your partner?  Building a good foundation and practices in your marriage is the key to having a resilient marriage. They don’t happen by accident. Great marriages are formed through pressure, trials, and triumph.  They are steeped in flexibility. Finding the right rhythm for you and your spouse is pertinent to how well you will handle the adversity and ultimately come out stronger. If you take an elastic band and stretch it to its absolute limit, when you release the band, what happens? It returns to its original state. When your marriage is built on the rock, when trouble and hardship DO come, and they will... your marriage CAN be healed and restored back to its original state.

A marriage and business mullet, if you will. Starting and running a business can be challenging, but add in a spouse + kids, and there are different hurdles to jump over on the way to an entrepreneurial lifestyle.  Questions begin forming: Can I even start a business?  Can I keep my spouse as involved as they want to be?  Is this glorifying God’s calling on my life?  Am I prioritizing my business or my marriage and family?  Sure, being your own boss and making your own schedule is the dream of many, but most don't realize how hard entrepreneurship really is. Unfortunately, there is a lot more to it than just the independence it may bring.  In this episode, Taylor talks with Jeremy about his own journey, what he wished he knew, and the boundaries he has placed in his businesses to honor his wife. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/support

Jeremy’s sister, Brittani Scott, stopped by to talk with us about the strength that lies in trusting the Lord. She and her husband suffered their share of heartbreak during the adoption process, but God's redemption in their story is so heart-warming.  Brittani is a singer/songwriter, pastors-wife, and mother to a beautiful baby girl, Asha, who came into their life through trusting in the Lord. Brittani talks about what her and Ryan's journey to becoming parents looked like, her tour, church planting, and even how she views her role in life.  If you find yourself struggling to wait on God to fulfill a promise in your life, you won’t want to miss her testimony.  It is a beautiful representation of how even when you are in the middle of a season of waiting, if you glorify the Lord, he will fulfill His promises to you. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/support

We had the honor of sitting down with Joe Ceasar, founder of Legacy Institute for Financial Education. After being diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder while in the military, Joe realized that PTSD comes in many different forms, including financially. So—what is Financial PTSD? It's a type of sustained stressor one experiences that will affect the way they make financial decisions in the future. (For example: Not being able to pay rent for three consecutive months is a stressor that can lead to long-term financial trauma.) Have you ever found yourself in the trenches of Financial PTSD?  How can we get ourselves OUT of that mindset?  Let’s find out.

We recently came across a Women's Health Magazine article that stated a "work husband" is the one relationship you NEED in your life... ...uh—we beg to differ. If you’re single and ready to mingle, go for it. But when you're married? That “work spouse” relationship might end up costing you your REAL marriage.  It may look innocent on the outside, but relying on a coworker of the opposite sex to fulfill your emotional needs can quickly become a slippery slope. So, what’s wrong with having a work wife or a work husband?  Let’s break it down in this week's episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themillionairemarriage/support
