We like to talk about money on this show because money affects every single one of us, whether you have a lot of it or a little bit of it. And money fights are the number one cause of divorce in marriage. Money generally can split up families long after kids are grown and out of the house. So it's clearly something worth talking about. In today's episode, what we're going to do is help you by revealing to you the source of all of your money fights and then give you a tool to solve that problem and have more unity in your marriage when it comes to money.

When marriage just sucks and we're disconnected, where things are just stale, we don't know what to talk about, and it's easier to just pick up our phone instead. Maybe we're holding on to some hurt, frustration or bitterness, maybe we feel disconnected and we don't even know why. Believe it or not, even on the Family Goals podcast, we hit major ruts in marriage on the regular. If we're just stuck in that spot, this is the tool we use to get out of that.

It's just the inevitable reality that, when you first get married, it's awesome and it's all about the marriage, but once you start having kids, your home life becomes all about the kids, their health and needs, and that's just the way it goes. Is that really the best way? And what's the difference between a child -centric home versus a marriage-centric home? What truly helps the whole family thrive? These are the questions we're diving into today on the Family Goals Podcast.

I know work-life balance is a phrase that people just love to hate on for some reason right now, but I think it's generally because we're not doing a great job of balancing work and life. And so we just dismiss it. What we want to talk about today is how to have alignment with your work and life so that they can actually complement each other and not create a space for resentment or bitterness or tension in your family. Our goal for today's episode is to help you have a thriving family and we're going to look at it through the lens of work -life alignment.

There was a season I remember very well when it felt like we were doing nothing but disciplining all the time. It was absolutely exhausting and I felt like we were failing as parents because it felt like they weren't learning anything. And then somehow, I don't remember where, but I learned this one hack that I kid you not changed everything almost from day to day. That's what we're gonna talk about on today's episode of the Family Goals Podcast.

Shay and I have a strict no yelling policy in our marriage. We have had it from day one, and it wasn't actually something we officially signed, it just is something that happened kind of organically.

Today, we are going be talking about why we believe you should create a no yelling policy and how to make one. We will give you some hope, and a picture of what a yelling free marriage and home could look like and how it could benefit you.
