What I Know Now: Newly Married Men and Déjà Vu Conversations [Video]

Friendlings, if you’ve been around the site for the past week, you should know two things:

1. The Illumination Project has launched! My baby, born!

2. We are smack dab in the middle of the What I Know Now series, starring none other than my wonderful (and often hilarious) parentals.

My hope for these videos is for you to get a taste of what The Illumination Project is all about—seeking older, wiser counsel. Last week, my mom and dad weighed in on what they wished they had known when they were single and ready to mingle. For those of you keeping score at home, #dadjokes and high school memories are involved.

Today we’re talking with my padre about advice for all y’all who’ve recently gotten hitched. If that’s you, sit back and enjoy, because not only does my dad teach you about communication with your new spouse, he also throws in a little Spanish lesson.

Olé!

United We Stand, Divided We Fall

What impacts your children more? Your relationship with your spouse or your relationship with your children? After counseling married couples for more than 35 years it is my conviction that your relationship with your spouse—the strength of your marriage—equally impacts your children. The marriage is the backside of the parenting coin.

The First Sin after Adam and Eve Sinned

This article is part 4 of 6 in the “What’s Really Going on Here?” Series. Over the span of six articles, I want us to take a look at twelve different stories and begin to ask ourselves, what is really going on in this story? Is the husband overlooking his wife’s need for love? Is the wife overlooking her husband’s need for respect? How can they ever get off of the Crazy Cycle? The Word: The first sin Adam and Eve committed after they sinned was blame placing.
