It's an important question that we are really only thinking about 11 years later. We're inviting you to ask yourself and your spouse this question also. And, if you're not married yet, we're giving you the scoop on what we think is the ONLY reason that you should ever get married. Curious? Hit play and let's talk! Talk back to us through email (podcast@thejameses.ca), Facebook (lovejames Podcast), or Instagram (@formorelovejames).

Stay in love.

We've all heard the stats. Finances, and arguments about money are one of the most consistent leading causes of divorce and marital stress and failure. So, we're sharing our perspective with you on this major issue. As always, we're sharing some of our personal experiences and views, with the hope that something we say is helpful. Don't forget to talk back to us through email (podcast@thejameses.ca), Facebook (lovejames Podcast), or Instagram (@formorelovejames).

Stay in love.

On this episode we discuss the positive and negative role that can be played by your family of origin, and the boundary line in between those two roles. We share some of our own personal experiences with each other's parents, and the strategies we employ as a couple to stay within the boundary. 

On this episode of lovejames, we're reflecting on the last eleven years together, the years preceding those eleven years, some lessons learned, and the difference between a relationship and a true partnership.

This week we sit down with Reverend Marva Tyndale to discuss faith, and the role of God in marriage. Rev. Tyndale, or “auntie Marva” as we call her, has been a great support for us from the beginning of our own marriage. We hope her words also encourage you.

In season one (episode 2), we talked about doing a whole episode on self-awareness. Well, here it is! Self-awareness is defined as "conscious knowledge of one's own character, feelings, motives, and desires." We'll talk about some of our own personal definitions of self-awareness, but more importantly, why we believe it is critical to great relationships.

Don't forget to talk back to us. Let us know your thoughts and perspectives on the topic!

Disclaimer: On the lovejames podcast, we talk about love. Abuse is not love. It is one person in a relationship having power and control over the other person. The strategies we discuss for resolving conflict and working through the challenges of relationships assume that both people are willing and well-meaning. If you are in an abusive relationship, we encourage you to seek help in safely getting out of it. 

We are Juli-Anne and Andrew James. A couple of bold, eternal optimists who believe in old school love. We don't have all the answers about love and marriage, but through this podcast, we hope to share perspective with you that will help inspire healthy growth and evolution in your relationships. We've been married for 10 years, known each other for 18, and counseled couples into and through marriage. We've put in some hours. On top of all of that, our parents have been married for a combined total of 98 years and counting! 

Here's to the start of our conversation with you. Episode one introduces us, our Executive Producer Tristan, and goes into some foundational thoughts and perspectives on love and marriage. 

We want to hear from you. So be sure to follow us on Instagram @formorelovejames, tell us what you think by dropping us a line at podcast@thejameses.ca, or by visiting thejameses.ca/lovejames. Peace & lovejames.
