On todays show we show you how we got through our financial struggles! Lack of finances can ruin a relationship. We learned how to get through it and we came out stronger! This episode is a much for those of you who feel like there is no way out! We did it and so can you! 

Being broke almost broke us! How to get through financial struggles!

1. Learn how to communicate! - Read books or listen to audio books that can help you learn the art of communication. One of our Favorite books for relationships is the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. Really teaches you how to connect with your spouse on their level. There are also plenty of podcast you can listen to. He's the DJ She's the Rapper" Remix your Marriage is one of them. Do your research. Google Google Google! Set a time to talk to each other- Not to nag at each other or point fingers. But to talk and vent. Don't blame each other. Sometimes you just have to let things out. Give yourself a time limit and move on. For example, talk for 15 minutes(set a timer if necessary) and then move on. Holding it in will cause an explosion!!

2. Have Sex!- It sounds crazy but having sex during tough times helps relieve stress and keeps you two bonded! Lack of sex is common for couples who are going through tough times but not healthy! Growing up with a psychologist I learned a lot about couples splitting up because of the lack of intimacy. So get busy!

3. Prayer and Devotions- Pray when you're alone, Pray when you're together. Ask God for clarity and direction. In our Ebook "30 Days of Pray and Play" we walk you through how to Pray with each other and for each other. If you want to hear from God, he needs to hear from you! "What would happen if you stopped asking God, why are am I going through this, and ask God, What are you preparing me for?" Steven Furtick

4. Have a plan of action! Write out your goals. 30 day goals, 6 month goals and 1 year goals. Brain dump! Write it all out and figure out a plan to get there. Their are plenty of Podcast that will help you along the way. "Build your Tribe" with Chalene Johnson, "Smart Passive Income" with Pat Flynn to name a few. "If you Fail to plain, then you're plaining to fail!"

5. Get HELP! Counseling is imperative! -We strongly believe that counseling is a must! Good or Bad relationships need it. Counseling is the maintenance of your relationship. The same way you get oil changes on your car. You know if you don't, eventually the car will breakdown. Oil changes maintain the longevity of your cars life. Just like in Marriage! You don't wait until your Marriage breaks down, you get the counseling before you think you need it! There are a lot of ways to get it FREE if you can't afford it. Typically Pastors will counsel you for free!

6. Be mindful of what you allow into your brain! Make sure to listen to positive messages and positive people! If you are watching bad talk shows and angry television you are going to get depressed. If you surround yourself with negative people, you will become negative! Find those people that lift you up and want the best for you. Watch tv shows with positive messages. Free your mind of the garbage!
