I criticize Democrats when they are wrong and defend Republicans when they are right.

Because I'm willing to puts what’s right above all else and committed to working with anyone to get things done for Iowa families. #IAGov

Kids aren’t responsible to know how to navigate their parents tempers, mood swings, and/or bad days. If you grew up thinking otherwise, this could be a key indicator to why you feel overly responsible for other people’s well-being while unknowingly neglecting your own.

Manipulation is when they always play the victim by blaming you for your reaction to their toxic behaviour, but will never discuss their disrespect that triggered you.

Be so f*cking proud of yourself for winning all those silent battles you don't speak about.

Love your partner in THEIR love language. NOT yours.

Being committed to your marriage means more than staying faithful ... it also means seeing your marriage as a priority.

[Trey & Lea's Stronger Marriages @StrongMarriage5]

Defend your spouse.
Be there for your spouse.
Support your spouse.
They should never have to face a battle in life alone.
Stand up for one another.

Hey sir, when the bible reffers to the wife as the weaker vessel it does not me "stupid or of lesser value"... it means "more delicate"... this means that you can't be yelling/cursing at her, speaking harshly, or hitting her in her feelings. #HusbandRules #WifeyActs

I once watched a woman spend an entire dinner trying to "explain" to her partner why his friend’s jokes were disrespectful to her.
She was calm. She used "I feel" statements. She was being the perfect "communicator" that therapy books tell you to be.
His response? "You’re just being sensitive, he didn't mean it that way. Don't make it awkward."
Moral in 3 lines:
Emotional invalidation like "you're too sensitive" is often a defense mechanism that protects the partner (and their social circle) from accountability, not a fair assessment of your feelings.

Good communication in marriage is when we check in to make sure what we think we are hearing is what is being said.

[Rob Sand @RobSandIA]

President Truman believed in standing firm on your principles and always focusing on the people. I'm guided by those same values.

[Trey & Lea's Stronger Marriages @StrongMarriage5]

Your marriage will not thrive if you spend all your time being "Mom & Dad." You need to spend time as "Husband & Wife" too.

[Trey & Lea's Stronger Marriages @StrongMarriage5]

RESPECT RULE: Don't allow your friends, your family or your children to put down your spouse. You and your spouse are one. Stick up for one another.

[Trey & Lea's Stronger Marriages @StrongMarriage5]

You cannot criticize your spouse into becoming a better spouse.

Doesn't work that way.

You don’t really know a man until you live with him, marry him, get pregnant by him, or see who he becomes when he’s upset.

[Ryan Stephens @ryanstephens]

Someday, the house will be quiet.
The toys will be gone.
The chaos will fade.
You’ll miss the noise you once wished away.
