Maximizing Relationships

On episode six of The Excellent Life podcast, I am excited to have a conversation with my Husband, Father of my children, Pastor, Best friend and Business Partner to delve into the topic "Maximizing Relationships". We discuss our different relationships over the years and how we have been able to balance and maximize the different aspects of such relationships.
We discuss at length the order of priority as well as the advantages and disadvantages the different relationships we share have with each other if any.

We identify the husband and wife relationship as the foundation for every other relationship we share and getting it right as husband and wife makes it a lot of easier for the other relationships to succeed and thrive In other words it is the prototype for the other relationships that flow from the that primary relationship.

We examine the issue of conflict resolution and how to ensure that conflict in any particular relationship does not spill over and affect the other relationships in an adverse manner.  We are totally in agreement that it takes love and commitment to develop a mature and satisfying relationship on every front.

We conclude that the key to maximizing relationships is a foundation rooted in God. A marriage relationship that has a foundation in God, is able to use the same foundation to raise godly children, function as Co-Pastors and have a trusting business partnership.
