    156. Expectations - Mixed Faith Marriage Panel

    The three experts in a mixed faith marriage talk about expectation. In this episode we discuss expectations. What were some of the expectations you had for your marriage? Were they realistic or not? Many couples enter marriage assuming shared faith will always be part of their relationship. How does a faith transition affect those expectations? What are some common unrealistic expectations in mixed faith relationships, and how can couples shift toward more flexible, supportive ones? How do unspoken expectations impact our interactions with our spouse and family members, and what strategies can we use to navigate them? What’s an expectation you’ve had to let go of, and how did that impact your relationship? How do we know when it’s time to adjust, communicate, or let go of an expectation?

    154. Parenting - Mixed Faith Marriage Panel Discussion

    The three experts in mixed faith marriage talk about parenting . In this episode we discuss: What are your thoughts about handling this weight that we experience as parents and living in this state of parent anxiety and fear of doing it wrong and messing up our kids? Especially when this journey is constantly changing as our kids are going through their own developmental processes? What can we control? What can’t we control? What is our responsibility in this area as parents that IS under our control, and what are we trying to take responsibility for that is not actually ours to manage? How can we work on letting go of these things that really aren’t in our control? Do we try to control the other parent as far as what they share, when they share it, how they share it, etc? What does that attempt at control do to the parent partnership and to the relationship? How can we work on managing ourselves when our partner shares something that we don’t want them to or that we disagree with? Or if they aren’t as supportive of what we share as we would want them to be in our ideal world? What about the kids being confused if they hear different things, different perspectives from their parents, opposing beliefs? What are your thoughts about this?

    152- Spiritual Bypass

    Here is part two of my serious on emotional awareness and its benefits in a mixed faith marriage. Spiritual bypass is when one uses religion instead of doing emotional work (processing emotion, awareness of emotions, talking about emotions, allowing emotions, etc). It is unfortunately common in a mixed faith marriage due to social programming. There are VERY REAL impacts of spiritual bypass on a marriage.

    Mormon Mixed Faith Marriage Mastermind: BAPTISM

    This month we tackle the topic of BAPTISM. In this recording we cover: - Our own memories from our baptisms -How do you deal with a client or couple that is struggling with the idea as of choosing to get baptized v the social pressure to get baptized. How did you deal with this in your own families?  -Many post mormon parents I talk to like the idea of taking this day to celebrate this child and let it be a day to focus on the kid and in this culture that is done though the vehicle of baptism. And they struggle with the idea of supporting an organization like the church that has caused so much shame and hurt or teaching their kids to support this organization.  How to deal with this? -How to deal with the fact that their co-parent does not agree with the premise behind baptism but for them this is crucial to salvation and getting the gift of the holy ghost and other things like priesthood and temple ordinances?  -Sometimes the couple isn’t struggling with the decision so much as they are trying to appease extended family and ward family. How to make this very personal decision on a public stage? -How do you deal with great to be 8 and all the hype around it? How to talk to your kid about baptism if you are not a believer and your spouse is? How to talk to your kid if you are a believer and your spouse is not?
