On this week’s episode, I talk about the benefits of gardening with your family and answer a listener question on divided families.
We have a little garden of eight blackberry bushes that we planted three years ago.

On this week’s episode, I share my thoughts on a listener question about generational advancement.
Reversing generational curses or trends is a huge thing to me, and I’ve spent a great deal of time searching for answers on this topic.
The most important thing I’ve learned on this search comes from studying many other families.
It’s all parenting.

On this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on what it really takes to have a successful marriage. Occasionally you hear people say, “We don’t have any problems. We don’t fight ever.”
Polly and I have a working marriage. It’s a consistent work in progress.
Our first couple of years were the hardest part of our marriage.
I think that the kids knowing that your decisions are for your long-term future really affects them.
I think the best marriage book ever written is Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs. It firmly grasps the idea of what both people need. Questions for Listeners Do you have a question? Call in and your question might be featured on the show!
