BEHIND THE SCENES

Dreams have always been a part of our relationship. Our conversations frequently circle back to our dreams. And the more we vocalize them, the more they become aligned. 

Dreaming together is not only important, but powerful for your relationship. It unifies your relationship, aligns your resources, gives you something to work towards, and gives you purpose. 

Tune in as we share all about dreaming together!

We decided to try something fun for this episode! We went LIVE on our Instagram, @Beating50Percent, for a Q&A session and recorded the entire thing for the show. It was so much fun hanging out with you guys fireside (you even hear some fire crackling in the background) 

This is an organic conversation answering some of our most asked questions as well as some fun on-the-spot questions from our audience. We LOVE doing these a...

Every relationship has conflict - it is universal + inevitable! But what sparks the most conflict in your relationship? Is it stress, lack of time together, money, hard days at work or with the kids? (Speaking honestly: for us, it is often when we overestimate our capacity and take on too much!) 

The good news is that there are SO MANY ways you can help prevent conflict, healthily work through it, AND learn from it. The idea isn...

This episode is all about managing expectations surrounding special occasions and holidays so that they don’t turn from a special day into a stressful day (No one wants that)! And with one of the biggest relationship holidays this weekend, we want to talk about Valentines Day, ways you can prevent conflict, and some fun date ideas! 

Did you know it is Beating 50 Percent’s 5 year anniversary? This is a milestone for us and we want to...

Memories of Us has launched - and just in time for Valentines Day! We believe this journal will carry great weight and impact, beyond your marriage + for generations of your family to come.

We are SO excited for today’s episode because we are covering a lot of ground! 

First, we are going to tackle a fear floating around our world today when it comes to relationships: the fear of being cheesy. And how that fear holds us back from pursuing creativity in our love stories. 

We are also going to play a fun game that involves YOU guys! We asked you on Instagram to share some statements/assumptions about us, and we are going ...

If you know us, you know that we THRIVE off of adventure + spontaneity! Sure, we need routine, but we also need newness. It is about finding that balance, stepping out of your comfort zone, and saying yes to moments along the journey. 

Adventures make good stories and they teach you so much about who you are, who someone else is, and how your relationship responds to life and situations. 

Our world today has over complicated and ...

Communication is the most crucial component in marriage. It can strengthen, heal and acknowledge your commitment to grow your relationship. 

We live in a fast paced, convenient world that does not value the power of writing things down or communicating well. And one of the biggest things that come against healthy (+ creative) communication is social media. If not harnessed and wrangled, social media will rob you of your love sto...

The podcast is back! 

But we aren’t just excited about the new season of the show, we are also celebrating our new book, Creative Love ... which releases TODAY! This book is an essential follow up to A Love Letter Life. It is a snack book, as we call it! Creative Love is not meant to be a book you read in one sitting. It is a book full of ideas, challenges, and questions that help cultivate creativity in your relationship throughout...

The theme of the last 6 months of our life has been scaling things back in our life which is why we have made the decision to wrap up season 4 of the podcast and take a break from releasing new episodes for a season. Our desire is to be authentic, real, and helpful, and offer great value to you guys. In order to do that, we need to fill up and invest in our own lives. We aren’t quitting the podcast; we are taking a break. We will b...

With all that’s going on in the world, we believe it's a really important time to start analyzing and talking about your foundations and where your roots are. This season is really causing people to stop and take a look at their lives with an honest lens, evaluating where they are at. For many it’s a time for recalibration!

Ruth +Troy Simons released a book called, Foundations: 12 Biblical Truths To Shape A Family that is...
