This week, we set out to talk about some things you can do right now...today...to help improve your marriage. And while we do talk about a couple of those things, you'll soon discover that this episode went a tad sideways. So along with a couple of ideas about marriage improvement, we first start with an accusation of kicking, call each other names, throw some shade on a few Instagram accounts and marriage conferences, Lee gets sidetracked posting to her Instagram account, and much, much more. After all is said and done, we admit that this episode may be no help to you at all. But we're confident it at least has a lot of entertainment value.  And buckle in. It's an over 45 minute ride... ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ten Days and Counting" is a relationship advice podcast offering marriage, dating, and relationship advice.

Dealing with a divorce happens in stages, much like dealing with major instances of grief. And you may experience these stages without even recognizing them. The ultimate goal is to achieve acceptance of the situation in order to begin life anew and with a positive outlook.  In this week's episode of our relationship advice podcast, we talk about these stages. We also open up about our own marriage and how at one point we were very close to becoming a part of that statistic. As we look back on that time in our relationship, it's definitely nice that we can look back on it with a little bit of a sense of humor.  "Ten Days and Counting" is a relationship advice podcast offering marriage, dating, and relationship advice.

We understand the perils of disciplining step-children. With five children between us, this was something that was an afterthought to our marriage, and had to be worked out not long after saying, "I do." In this week's episode of our relationship advice podcast, we share some of the hazards that come with discipline and step-children; and even biological parents who are apathetic when it comes to a disrespectful biological child. You'll hear us talk about how we handled discipline in our blended family, and what were the reasons behind the decisions we made.

As children grow up, their desire to spend time with parents and family wains and is replaced with time with friends and other events. This can be an even harder transition for divorced parents, especially for the non-custodial parent. In this week's episode, we talk about how we are handling this with our own children and share some of the things you can do to approach this transition in the right frame of mind. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Website: https://10daysandcounting.com Facebook: @10daysandcounting Instagram: @tendaysandcounting Email: [email protected] --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/10-days-and-counting/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/10-days-and-counting/support
