General Conference can be a tense time in a Mormon mixed faith marriage. We used to spend the weekend chilling on the couch and playing bingo with our kids.

Then it became this tense time where everyone was on eggshells.

It doesn’t have to stay that way. In this podcast I walk you though some questions to help take a more intentional approach to conference weekend.

There is a cycle I see where we start to hide things from our spouse because we are afraid of judgment and/or afraid of rocking the boat. This hiding is done to protect the relationship but it doesn’t work out that way. Hiding often creates disconnection. This podcast episode discusses why we hide, its unintended consequences and provides some ways to overcome the tendency to hide.

There are some issues that need to be solved in a marriage and some things that need to be managed.

I think we sometimes want to solve things that need to be managed. Sometimes we resist managing things because we think they should be solved. Being in a mixed faith marriage is often an issue that needs to be managed and not solved.

I offer two things to try to help you manage your mixed faith marriage with more love and gentleness.

In the podcast I share two examples of how we can let future tripping trip us up in a mixed faith marriage.

Let’s talk about sunk costs in a mixed faith marriage.

In this episode I describe a sunk cost fallacy and how it might be showing up in your mixed faith marriage.

The sunk costs fallacy describes the tendency to follow through if we have already invested, time, money or effort into it, whether or not the current costs outweigh the benefits.

I give a few suggestions on how to not let sunk costs stop you from having the life and marriage you want.

In this podcast episode I teach a concept from my online course – Loving and Strengthening Your Mixed Faith Marriage. The concept is that of bringing awareness to the story you are telling about your mixed faith marriage. Often a faith transition can trigger the start of a negative story and then it perpetuates for months and even years if we don’t develop the awareness around our own stories.
