    How People Mess Up Their Lives and How to Not Make the Same Mistakes: Part Two – Marital Neglect

    How People Mess Up Their Lives and How to Not Make the Same Mistakes: Part Two – Marital Neglect

    Brent and Janis continue their series on the mistakes people make in their lives and how to not make the same mistakes.  They cover mistakes or mistaken beliefs people have:

    ·      Don’t think marriage takes work.

    ·      Talk to each other in ways and with words they would never use with anyone else.

    ·      Don’t give enough time to the relationship -other things are a priority.

    ·      Are in competition instead of supporting each other in goals.

    ·      Insist on their way even if they realize they are wrong or that it will harm the relationship.

    ·      Don’t celebrate their milestones.

Dr Ronnie Gaines

Brent and Janis are incredible therapists. Brent was my supervisor when I was getting my Marital and Family Therapy degree and I have worked for them and with them for several years. I am so grateful for the wealth of knowledge they have instilled in me. In fact, when you hear me teach, there are some things that come out of me that sound just like them. These episodes are a must for families! Brent and Janis will help you with marital dynamics, money issues, intimacy concerns, and help build you spiritually. Follow and download each podcast episode and subscribe to their YouTube channel and let’s live, learn, and lead our marriage and family.

Enjoyable AND Helpful!

Brent and Janis speak from over 4 decades of being pastors and therapists. They’re offering a gold mine for free - do yourself a favor and commit 30-45 min a week to better your life and relationships.

Much needed advice!

I’ve heard some of these “nuggets” before, but I listened to episode 1 while at my in-laws, over Christmas break, and I am most definitely saving this as a reminder for future holidays/extended family time. Can’t wait for more episodes!
