Summary
Or what about the reasons you parent the way you do? Why you treat your spouse the way you do?
Genograms can reveal so much about our family history. In this episode, we talk about genograms and how they can help us discover more of who we are and where we come from. We also discuss practical ways we can learn from our family history to stop negative generational patterns and embrace the positive ones.

| 0:00.0 | What decision can you make right now in this situation so that your children don't have to make the same decision when they're in your shoes? |
| 0:09.8 | Like, what can you do right now to make sure you're not repeating the same patterns for your children? |
| 0:17.2 | You're listening to the In This Together podcast with Dr. Josh and Christy Straub, a podcast dedicated to helping you live, love, and lead well as a spouse, a parent, and a human being. |
| 0:28.9 | Because no matter where you're at in your journey, you're not alone. We're in this together. |
| 0:44.5 | Welcome back to the In This Together podcast. We today are talking about a topic I brought up on the episode a few weeks ago about Gino Grams. And I think one of the reasons we're talking about |
| 0:51.3 | it is because it is so powerful. It's such a powerful look into our family history and why we are the way that we are. |
| 0:59.0 | So you hear us talk about becoming parents, becoming adults that we want our kids to become. |
| 1:07.0 | And in Exodus, Moses writes that the sins of the fathers are passed from the third |
| 1:11.3 | to the fourth generation, but blessing to the thousandth generation of those who love me and seek |
