Marriage Series Part 2A 0-20 y w/ Eric and Cameron Lowe

Fighting fairly

Prioritizing date night 1x/month. Make it a literal appointment on the calendar

Surprise anniversary trips (alternate planning) and choose a long weekend to be able to turn off the noise/work mode

Weekly lunch dates. Some kind of midweek/workday connection. Touching base with each other

If you don’t schedule it it won’t happen

Setting intention with your kids…seasons (early on instilling Biblical values vs do’s/don’ts, focus on character “The Lowes aren’t liars”)

Hang time” each parent takes a child then switch
Bought little books (3 questions for the girls-one silly, one about their life/school, one spiritual). Questions given ahead of time. The girls wrote their answers in the book and then they talked about them).

Early years- children compete for attention so Hang Time helped them put that aside and each parent got to know each individual kid

As they grow, they develop their own identity/interests and it helps them focus on who they’re becoming vs competing for attention. Parents can celebrate them in their own way.

Early - 1:1 time 
Later in life more as a family especially dinner time and drive time (no phone for rides <1 h)

Financial principles -give/save/spend jars

Character posters- The Orange curriculum (Reggie Joyner & Andy Stanley) videos came with it

Monthly budget (line item)- involving your kids for their items
