Money Triggers & Marriage - Part 1

When Eugene and I, Latanya, tied the knot, we never imagined that our most profound growth would come from navigating our finances together. Yet, here we are, ready to peel back the curtain on our financial evolution, a journey that's been anything but linear. Our latest episode is a candid confession of how we've gone from letting money matters divide us to using them as a tool for unity, all through a lens of faith that's as sturdy as the foundation of our marriage.

We've come to see every spreadsheet and budget meeting as a chance to fortify our partnership and align our life's purpose with our financial goals. It's a dance of numbers and nuances, tackling topics like our aspiration for early retirement, dubbed "Club 55," and the essential role of transparent communication. We're not shying away from discussing how we've embraced an equal partnership in managing our finances, moving past traditional roles and sharing the reins in a way that's strengthened us beyond measure.

This episode isn't just a sharing of our story; it's an invitation to reflect on your own financial journey within your relationships. Discover how embracing shared responsibilities can be a game-changer and why tackling money talks head-on could be the secret ingredient to a thriving marriage. We're sharing the raw, the real, and the transformative power of faith in finance, and we can't wait to have you join the conversation.

Drafting the Winning Team: Navigating Relationship Expectations and Preparations for Marriage

Remember when you picked teams for a game in school? The pressure of choosing the perfect combination can be overwhelming. Now, imagine marriage as the NFL Draft, where your choices need to be spot on!

On this episode of The Winning Team Podcast, WE discuss the process of selecting the right 'player' for a successful 'team', highlighting the different perspectives men and women might have on this process.

WE also share a funny story from a holiday gathering when everyone mistakenly thought Eugene was about to propose. Playing on that suspense, WE then shift gears to a serious conversation about setting and understanding expectations in a relationship - because let’s face it, unwrapping gifts might be easier than unwrapping expectations!

From managing finances to parenting, WE share personal anecdotes and highlight the key role of effective communication in aligning expectations and avoiding potential pitfalls.

Ever wondered about the tricky balance of combining incomes while allowing personal spending? WE’ve got some insights!

Lastly, WE uncover the importance of preparation and open conversation in maintaining harmony in relationships and marriage. Issues like work-life balance, trust, managing social media, and handling conflict can create cracks if not dealt with wisely.

The Power of Friendship in Building a Marriage

What makes a marriage thrive for over two decades? How do you stay committed to a common goal while maintaining your individuality? Join us, Eugene and Latanya Gatewood, in the second episode of the We3 Winning Team Podcast, as we reflect on our 21-year journey of partnership. We candidly share our wins, missteps, and the lessons we've gleaned from our shared life. Far from experts, we are simply a couple who have navigated the waters of marriage, with a desire to stir meaningful discussions on setting the right expectations and making informed decisions about this life-long commitment.

Dive into our conversation, where we discuss the concept of submission in marriage, and how our expectations have evolved across the score years we've shared. We delve into the importance of having a common goal in a marriage and how our individual tasks, although different, work together to complement each other. We also dissect the importance of building a friendship before entering a marriage, and how this solid foundation can be the bedrock of a successful union. This episode isn't just for those who are married, but also for those considering marriage or aspiring to marry someday. Whether you are single, engaged, or a veteran in the marriage game, we hope our reflections can serve as valuable insights for you on your journey. [END SHOW NOTES]
