038 - Creating a Values Based Marriage - MaryCay & Michael

Welcome to Episode 38! A theme has been developing on the show lately, and that is the importance of context in a relationship. That is to say that when couples create a shared intention or paradigm into which their relationship is growing, the minor challenges don’t grip very hard. When couples have something greater than themselves to reference, they move through conflict more easily and gracefully than otherwise. Bryan and Jennifer, a couple we interviewed several weeks ago - talk about this in the bonus episode that I’ve posted for Patreon subscribers. Kelly and Scott share about how the context of family really saved their marriage, and today’s couple MaryCay and Michael Durant talk about the context of shared values. In this interview we get a fascinating look into how their co-created values weave their way into all their decisions and all of their disputes. You can find workshops that MaryCay and Michael reference at www.understandmen.com.
