At CenterPeace we believe in healthy marriages and whole families. Everyone knows someone who has been touched by divorce.

In fact every 15 minutes 25 marriages end in divorce, 70% of inmates are from homes where there was divorce and 36% of daughters from divorce will have an unwed pregnancy. In January of 2013 'Your CenterPeace' founder, Brooke, had a vision of creating a wedding venue that did more than to provide a place for a wedding, but to prepare the couple for the journey of marriage. During daily meditation the ideas kept coming and she journaled for months before sharing the vision. Today we have three CenterPeace programs, SYMBIS facilitation, Marriage Mentoring and pre-marriage and marriage enrichment classes. The vision of CenterPeace is to create a self-sustaining marriage center, that will help strengthen families and lower the divorce rate by doing two things, help marriages start well, develop well and survive crisis and provide a beautiful wedding venue to create income for the marriage strengthening services. CenterPeace is an organization and resource that you can point your hurting friends and family to for relational encouragement.

Blended families aren't taking a year to get used to a new normal.⁣
⁣
Chances are, it can take 5+ years for blended families to adjust to a new life. Possibly even more depending on the age of your children.⁣
⁣
Be patient with your spouse and children throughout this process. Manage your expectations, and know that it won't happen in a year or two like you may have hoped. ⁣

Healthy communication is a key component in fulfilling relationships. Remember these quick tips next time you communicate with your partner:

1. Choose your words- be intentional with what you say! Think it out before sharing sensitive information.
2. Listen to understand- make sure you are listening to your partner to understand their experience, not confirm what you think you know about it.
3. Talk at a good time- don't force the conversation or wait too long to have it.
4. Pick your battles- balance advocating for yourself with not brining up every little grievance. You don't want to exhaust the relationship bringing up every little thing, and you also don't want resentment to brew.

Well...what do you think?⁣

Hint: hearing our partners out can help foster empathy and communication in a situation, not confirm what we think we may know about their experience.

Understanding one another is a crucial aspect of managing conflict.

Oftentimes, we listen to respond during conflict instead of listening to understand.

Remember you and your partner are a team- working together, not against one another. That's what marriage and partnership is all about.

Next time you and your partner are engaged in conflict, keep this quote in mind to keep you on the path of teamwork.

Sometimes it's easier to not say anything at all...⁣⁣

With engagement comes lots of planning, excitement, questions, and ultimately preparing for marriage!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here are 3 tips to help newly engaged couples thrive during their engagement season and beyond.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1. Because finances can be one of the main sources of conflict in marriage, consider planning a beautiful day that doesn’t leave you or your loved ones in debt.⁣⁣
2. Just because you know your fiance, doesn’t mean you know everything they want or you can accurately anticipate all of their opinions. It’s possible you two have very similar ideas when it comes to your dream day, but just to be safe, talk about it and find places to compromise.⁣⁣
3. Get on the same page with big-ticket items by having intentional conversations. Things like whether or not you want kids, job/career expectations, finances, spirituality, etc. ⁣⁣
4. Take the SYMBIS assessment! This is the best premarriage preparation report on the market used by over 1 MILLION couples! **Click the link in our bio to request a mentor and take this assessment with us! ⁣⁣

When it comes to s*x and intimacy, we all have our turn-on's and turn-off's. In her book "Come As You Are," Dr. Emily Nagoski explains in more detail how we can view these as accelerators and brakes- basically, what gets us excited for s*x, and what tells us "no way!" **Spoiler: our brakes are the #1 thing that keep us disinterested in s*x!**⁣
⁣
Some of us have high accelerators and low brakes, some of us have low brakes and medium accelerators, the list goes on. Regardless, it is important in any relationship to be aware of your accelerators and brakes, and be gentle with yourself when the brakes hit.⁣
⁣
Take some time this weekend to reflect on your potential accelerators and brakes. Check out Dr. Emily Nagoski's work for more information!⁣

You may be asking yourself, "what is responsive desire?"

We can't define responsive desire without mentioning spontaneous desire.

Spontaneous desire is like a spark, out of the blue, that tells us we want to have s*x.

Responsive desire is when we get turned on in response to engaging in s*xual acts.

Neither way to achieve desire is right or wrong, good or bad- both are healthy!

It is not uncommon for responsive desire to be the norm in long term relationships- in which case, it is important you communicate to your partner your turn on's!

We've said it once, and we will say it again-

Boundaries aren't intended to keep others out, but gain closeness through respectful space in relationships.

It's not healthy to be enmeshed in your relationship. You and your partner both need to have autonomous lives in order to feel connected to each other and to yourselves.

Remember this next time someone sets a boundary with you.

Have you ever been in a relationship where there were red flags waving all over the place?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Perhaps you caught them lying, only caring about themselves, they felt clingy or would blame you for all your problems as a couple. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But what does a healthy relationship look like?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A healthy relationship looks like….⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💛 Ask Permission⁣⁣
💛 Take one another’s feelings into account⁣⁣
💛 Showing gratitude⁣⁣
💛 Honesty⁣⁣
💛 Support autonomy⁣⁣
💛 Respecting differences in opinion⁣⁣
💛 Taking responsibility for your actions.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Remember building a healthy relationship takes time and work. All couples want it especially when they are looking to grow a forever marriage. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But when both people in the relationship participate in the maintenance it promotes a healthy relationship. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Tag your partner to show your appreciation for your continued work in your relationship.⁣⁣

The idea of talking to our children about challenging topics such as s*x, divorce, death, puberty, consent, bullying, discrimination, war...the list goes on...can be very intimidating and oftentimes avoided by parents.

As parents, it's our job to share our values and knowledge with our children and prepare them for their inner and outer worlds in a developmentally appropriate manner. When we avoid these conversations, we allow our children to learn through peers, social media, and others who may not share the same values as us.

Remember this the next time an opportunity for a challenging discussion is presented with your child.
