Everybody brings Baggage into the Relationship

This video is about JMA Podcast Video EPI 51 Baggage

Two people marry more than each other – they marry a set of circumstances.Becoming aware of how their two worlds combine on a practical level is essential to making sure they don’t collide on an emotional level.
Booth, A., Johnson, D., & Edwards, J. (1983)

Social- There are four aspects of a couples social world. Friends and Family Support - In- Laws Relationships -Level of Investment - Faith Community
Financial - Money Style(Spender/Saver) - Budget Skills - Financial Fears - Debt

According to a survey by the American Institute of CPAs, more than 27% of people who are married or living with a partner cited money as the topic most likely to cause an argument. That makes it the most volatile topic for couples – far more sensitive than children, careers or friends.

Expectations - Roles
Perhaps the biggest piece of baggage that a person brings into a marriage is their bundle of expectations. Uncovering these expectations – especially the ones that are rarely articulated or even unconscious – is an instant insight for engaged couples.
