The Post-FML Discussion

On this episode of Intentional Marriage, co-hosts and married couple – Justin and Cresta Burt – follow up on last episode’s theme of how to cope with families visiting by talking about how things went with your spouse in the aftermath of large family gatherings.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you’re in the middle of something emotional you tend to say or do things that aren’t who you are naturally. They overreact a lot of times. Especially when you’re dealing with a partnership, one or the other can get emotional. Don’t say things in the moment because you want to reflect on what went well, what didn’t go well, and what are we going to work on or change next time? 
• In this thing called life there’s always going to be room to grow, room to change, room to evolve and I think it’s important for couples that have gone through something, even if it was a horrible experience, don’t look at it as a negative, what can we do different next time that’s going to make this more successful for our family, where did our family struggle and where can we look at next time to make things better?
• Those who are dealing with a blended family and you have to deal with your child’s mother/father, it’s important that you get along for the kids. It’s important that you can be adults together, and when your child wants a single party for graduation that you'd be able to give that to them. 
• We make so much stuff up in our minds about what things can be, what things are going to be, and really when you look at it, most people are ‘get along’ types of people just to get through events and that’s the proper perspective to have going into it.

BEST MOMENTS
‘If we could just keep emotions out of everything, everything would be better!’
‘There are always things that can be improved on.’
‘If I were to re-do the situation I would do everything the same because I think we learned a lot.’
"We all, as people in relationships, need to understand how you act when something puts me outside your comfort zone.’
