003: Peter and Jennifer Diepstraten | How to Appreciate What You Have and Align as a Team

In this humorous episode, Peter and Jennifer Diepstraten of FamilyCo share keys #2 and #3 about how to keep your love alive and make productive partnerships.  Key #2 is why the “shoulds” erode our love in spite of our best intentions and what to do.  Should the toddler be poddy-training so soon? Should the tween do more chores? Should I go to the gym now or after dinner? Should I put up with that or not? The “shoulds” are all of our expectations and ideals that get in the way of experiencing appreciation for what we have rather than focusing on what we don’t have. 

Jennifer and Peter share their different views of how their sons should be raised and how to keep those different views from getting in the way of their relationship.  Key #3 creates the possibility of being in a true partnership  - one where you lift each other up and become your best selves together.  They share their journey to create a North Star TM or purpose for their partnership and marriage.
