Four Horsemen of the Marriage Apocalypse: Money

Last week, the guys kicked off a discussion of the Four Horsemen of the Marriage Apocalypse.  The first was sex, and this week they will examine the all too hot topic of THE KIDS.  Most couples tend not to be on the exact same page when it comes to discipline, expectations, and priorities when it comes to their kids, so...arguments tend to ensue.  If this sounds like you, don't miss this week's episode!   ----- Dr. Jimmy Myers on Twitter: @docjimmymyers, Instagram: @jmyersfam, and Facebook: @docjimmymyers Pairadocs Podcast on Twitter: @docspodcast, Instagram: @docspodcast, and Facebook: @docspodcast  How do give to the show: www.patreon.com/docspodcast The Timothy Center: www.timothycenter.com

Four Horsemen of the Marriage Apocalypse: Kids

You know it coming and you dread it like the plague, but at some point, in every family there comes the need to have “The Sex Talk.”  In this case, however, we’re not talking about the sex discussion with you kids.  This week, the guys delve into the sex talk that every couple needs to have and keep having to address one of the Four Horsemen of the Marriage Apocalypse.    ----- PROBLEM:  Carries more baggage than a 747.  Mention any possible negative and it can be interpreted as a very intimate, personal criticism We don’t talk about our sexual relationship.  Only might be mentioned when something is wrong.   As a rule, sex is the “unmentionable” in 99% of Christian homes Take any other “mutual” activity that a couple engages in, there is discussion about it.  Cooking, exercise, entertainment…  The assumption is that if we’re married, we should simply know what to do and how to do it.  And if things aren’t great, then we suffer in silence, because, “We shouldn’t have to say anything.”  SOLUTION:  The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. (1 Cor. 7:3–5)  Each spouse’s body belongs to the other, and a primary function of sex is to serve and bless each other. The ethic that runs throughout the New Testament applies to sex in marriage: we are to selflessly serve, thinking of the other first.  Love is putting someone else’s needs above your own.  Sex is a physical manifestation of spiritual and emotional love between a husband and wife. TALK: If we don’t tell our spouse, they won’t know.  Any time we don’t talk it is out of fear or frustration.  Spouse’s shouldn’t fear their partner’s response. Past sexual history and sin, needs to be discussed, learned from, and not avoided Frequency, duration, &amp; arousal all are impacted as you pass through life stages. Talk about having the talk.  Don’t surprise them with it. Make suggestions; not complaints    ----- Dr. Jimmy Myers on Twitter: @docjimmymyers, Instagram: @jmyersfam, and Facebook: @docjimmymyers Pairadocs Podcast on Twitter: @docspodcast, Instagram: @docspodcast, and Facebook: @docspodcast How do give to the show: www.patreon.com/docspodcast  The Timothy Center: www.timothycenter.com

The Argument Black Hole

Perfectionism.  Most would agree that this personality trait is not great.  BUT, if you are a perfectionist, you secretly, sort of, like being this way.  It’s kind of like being a “workaholic.”  We say we don’t like that aspect of our lives yet are inwardly proud of how much we can accomplish.  Perfectionism is, not only, bad for us as an individual, but can be devastating in our home.   ----- PROBLEM:  See it in:   Kids- upset if not perfect, performance anxiety Mom/Wives- Clean house, fixation on kid’s performance, behavior, and dress, can’t leave work at work Dad/Husbands- How things look, Sports, irritation as substandard behavior/dress…   Hold double standard You're constantly evaluating yourself, and not living up to who you believe you could be. This induces shame.  Procrastination can simply be thought of as insecure perfectionism on steroids.   SOLUTION:  To want something is good.  To NEED it is not good. Embrace and sit in uncomfortable, unpleasant emotions By grace saved, not of good works Acknowledge it. What is driving this?  What core belief? Anti-anxiety tool is “Worst case” scenario  Adjust your standards to just be “good enough.”  ----- Dr. Jimmy Myers on Twitter: @docjimmymyers, Instagram: @jmyersfam, and Facebook: @docjimmymyers Pairadocs Podcast on Twitter: @docspodcast, Instagram: @docspodcast, and Facebook: @docspodcast  How do give to the show: www.patreon.com/docspodcast The Timothy Center: www.timothycenter.com

Perfectionism In The Home

We’ve all seen them, haven’t we?  Those parents who care WAY too much about how their child is doing in sports.  They take out a second mortgage and blow through their family’s savings just to keep their kid on select/travel teams.  They yell at the refs, the coach, and their kid.  You would think their entire self-worth hinged on whether their child plays well and wins the game…hmmm.  I wonder… Listen in this week as Josh and Jimmy get the signal, step up to the plate, and discuss The Push.  Parents and sports.  Play ball!! ----- Warning Signs of The Push  Parent getting their own need for self-worth through their child’s sport performance.   Year-round, non-stop sports.  One long, never ending season Year-round specialization.  Tommy John surgery for high schoolers.  All other aspect of family life takes a back seat  Do you care more than your child who is actually playing the sport? *Anger at child’s performance*  Solution for the Push:  Define Success Let the child lead.

Outsourcing Your Child’s Spiritual Development

As the late great country music artist, Mac Davis, once sang, “Oh, Lord, it’s hard to be humble!”  And in our current culture and the competitive, “me-obsessed” environment that our kids are growing up in, these words have never been more spot on.  Join the fellas this week, as they kick around the topic of raising humble kids. -----  We live in a culture that is for the glorification of self. Our culture and a lot of our homes struggle to produce humble kids. “If you have to toot your own horn, your horn ain’t worth tootin’” – Bill Myers Sr We need to teach them how to express their views modestly. How to share praise and blame.  Learning to accept failure is key.

As the late great country music artist, Mac Davis, once sang, “Oh, Lord, it’s hard to be humble!”  And in our current culture and the competitive, “me-obsessed” environment that our kids are growing up in, these words have never been more spot on.  Join the fellas this week, as they kick around the topic of raising humble kids. -----  We live in a culture that is for the glorification of self. Our culture and a lot of our homes struggle to produce humble kids. “If you have to toot your own horn, your horn ain’t worth tootin’” – Bill Myers Sr We need to teach them how to express their views modestly. How to share praise and blame.  Learning to accept failure is key.

Raising Humble Kids

Pairadocs is a podcast with a Christian take on life, family, and culture. Jimmy and Josh will provide marriage and parenting insight, to be sure; however, don't be surprised if other topics emerge,  such as sports, entertainment, politics, or the latest episode of Pioneer Woman!The Pairadocs have two formats: interview and content. One episode a week focuses on interviewing some of the greatest Christian minds around. For the other episode Jimmy and Josh discuss a cultural or familial topic you're sure to enjoy! Grab your spouse and listen Pairadocs together! It's like having two free therapists in your pocket!

This is one of my favorite podcasts. I like that the guys start out with the “main idea” and then in just about 20 minutes they talk about possible outcomes and give godly advice on how to deal with it. 
I am always laughing at their banter, but also responding to their advice. Some of the topics have helped me with my marriage and parenting. I’m able to make even the smallest changes for the better after listening.

Witty and Engaging

I really like this podcast. I hope there will be more episodes coming soon.

Sex.  What are we going to do?  It’s everywhere.  But how do we navigate the treacherous waters of talking to our kids about the subject that must not be mentioned?  What should parents say?  What should we not say?  What’s too much information?  And when are we creating a fixation within our kids by treating sex like the most taboo subject in the world.  This week the boys talk about sex.  More specifically, the healthiest way to talk to your kids about it.

What is co-dependency?  We’ve all heard about, accused others of being it, but what exactly is it?  I mean, we should depend on each other…right?  “Lean on me, when you’re not strong…”  Hello?!  But what is it, really?  Listen in this week as the guys unpack the sometimes misunderstood topic of co-dependency, and see if you can recognize your relationship…uh, I mean recognized a “friend’s” relationship.    -----   Enchiladas Y Mas Closed   Co dependency = when one person needs another person, and the other person needs to be needed.   It's a relationship addiction. A toxic dance.   Submissive co dependents - desperately desire loves from dominant dependents Dominant co dependents - don't give love the other desires   We pass on co dependency to our children   Recognizing who you are in your marriage:   Submissives 1. Does your self worth hang on your partners approval? 2. Is it difficult to say no when your partner makes a demand? 3. Do you walk on egg shells around your partner?  4. Do you consistently worry about other's opinions of you? 5. Do you keep quiet to avoid arguments?   Dominants 1. Are you in a constant state of frustration with your partner? 2. Can you not let go of correcting your partner? 3. It is difficult for you to agree to disagree? 4. Do you have a strong need to be right? 5. When push comes to shove, you get your way.
