Drafting the Winning Team: Navigating Relationship Expectations and Preparations for Marriage

Send us a text

Remember when you picked teams for a game in school? The pressure of choosing the perfect combination can be overwhelming. Now, imagine marriage as the NFL Draft, where your choices need to be spot on! 

On this episode of The Winning Team Podcast, WE discuss the process of selecting the right 'player' for a successful 'team', highlighting the different perspectives men and women might have on this process.

WE also share a funny story from a holiday gathering when everyone mistakenly thought Eugene was about to propose. Playing on that suspense, WE then shift gears to a serious conversation about setting and understanding expectations in a relationship - because let’s face it, unwrapping gifts might be easier than unwrapping expectations! 

From managing finances to parenting, WE share personal anecdotes and highlight the key role of effective communication in aligning expectations and avoiding potential pitfalls. 

Ever wondered about the tricky balance of combining incomes while allowing personal spending? WE’ve got some insights!

Lastly, WE uncover the importance of preparation and open conversation in maintaining harmony in relationships and marriage. Issues like work-life balance, trust, managing social media, and handling conflict can create cracks if not dealt with wisely. 

So, join us as WE navigate the field of relationships, giving you the playbook to draft the perfect team. 

Let's huddle up and get started!
