Self Discrepancy: Who We Are vs. Who we Want to Be
Happy New Year everyone! In our most recent podcast episode, we discussed a word we felt the Lord had for us this year: discrepancy. The self-discrepancy theory states that individuals compare their “actual” self to internalized standards or the “ideal or ought self.” Self-discrepancy is the gap between two self-representations that leads to negative emotions. Essentially, it is how we deal with the difference between who we think we should be or want to be, versus who we actually are.

January 6th, 2023, will be our 16th Wedding Anniversary. And with that, we wanted to share 16 of the best pieces of marriage advice and marriage tips we have learned along the way. These pieces of marriage advice have revolutionized our marriage in many ways, and some of them even played a large part in saving our marriage from divorce. 

Please let us know which piece of advice was your favorite by leaving us a podcast review.

This world is full fo discouragement, and we personally are really good at feeling shameful, weak, useless, and unworthy. Fill in the blank with all the negative things we think and say about ourselves daily.

We all can use more words of encouragement and affirmation. So let this episode be an encouragement and reminder for you to practice finding things to affirm your spouse with on a daily basis.
