In this episode, Larry Hagner delves into the glaring absence of comprehensive education on what makes a marriage successful, and the trials many couples face as a result of this deficiency in knowledge and skills. Larry turns the spotlight on his own marriage, expressing his heartfelt gratitude as he crosses the two-decade milestone. Additionally, Larry touches upon the escalating divorce rates and explores whether a lack of these crucial skills might be a major contributing factor. One of the primary hurdles in marriage, according to Larry Hagner, lies in the intrinsic differences between men and women. Our needs, our ways of operation, and our communication styles all differ. Without a clear understanding and appreciation of these disparities, conflicts can surface, triggering misunderstandings and resentment. Consequently, it becomes imperative to learn how to bridge these differences and communicate effectively in order to sustain a healthy and harmonious relationship. Throughout the podcast, Larry Hagner underscores the lack of formal training or education in the domains of marriage and parenting. Unlike other professional pursuits that demand rigorous training and certification, marriage and parenting are typically a journey of trial and error. This dearth of guidance can leave couples feeling directionless and ill-prepared to tackle the challenges they encounter. Larry Hagner proposes that with the right set of skills and knowledge, we as couples can surmount these challenges and lay a robust foundation for our marriage. Similar to how a GPS aids in navigation by offering clear directions and information about potential roadblocks, acquiring marriage skills can steer couples through the labyrinth of married life. These skills encompass effective communication, conflict resolution, empathy, emotional intelligence, and understanding one's partner's needs. Ultimately, Larry Hagner believes that mastering marriage skills is integral to building and sustaining a successful and fulfilling relationship. Living in a society where divorce rates are at an all-time high and relationships encounter numerous challenges, it's essential for us as couples to be educated and guided on how to navigate the intricacies of married life. By honing skills like effective communication, conflict resolution, empathy, and emotional intelligence, we can overcome challenges, reinforce our bond, and cultivate a lasting and joyful marriage. www.thedadedge.com/friday114 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.thedadedge.com/25questions
