The Entrepreneur's Marriage Survival Guide
Manage episode 497741164 series 3482023
Entrepreneurs have a 48% divorce rate - 5% higher than the general population. After 18 years of marriage while building multiple businesses, we're sharing the real challenges that destroy entrepreneurial marriages and the specific strategies that saved ours.
In this episode, we dive deep into:
• The 5 biggest threats to entrepreneurial marriages (financial strain, neglect, conflicting goals, stress, and risk-taking personalities)
• Why we got married at 18 & 19 despite everyone's opposition - and why it worked
• The "core four" system that keeps our family aligned while building businesses
• Love languages, communication strategies, and the "same team" mindset that changed everything
• Why we prioritize our marriage over our kids (controversial but effective)
• The stay-at-home spouse "hack" that unleashed business growth
• How to serve your spouse's needs without losing your entrepreneurial edge
Whether you're building a business, planning to start one, or just want a stronger marriage, this conversation reveals the practical systems and mindset shifts that help couples thrive together instead of growing apart.
Warning: We get real about money fights, communication failures, and the mistakes that almost derailed us in the early years. This isn't theory - it's 18 years of trial, error, and hard-won wisdom.
