Summary

By the time I met my wife, Amy, I was already 3 times married and divorced.

I had one child, my son, Jax.

I was tapped out on marriage, divorce, and everything that comes with it beyond heartache including financial loss.

Well, to my surprise, when I met Amy, I told her straight up.......

I'm not down with mariage at this point.

But over time, as I got to know her better, I learned she had never been married.

And so as we grew, I came to see there might be a possiblity of me getting married to her.

It's not like I was getting younger.

She's everything I'm not and I figured, I can't go wrong with that.

But I also realized part of the reason my first 3 marriages failed was because I was in them.

Well, when we decided to say yes, we didn't come up with a pre-nup.

We came up with a Marital Operating Agreement.

It words a bit better and there are some hard accountability measures and agreements you have to make in order for the marriage to work.

In this episode, I'm going to break down every single element of our marital agreement from our personal health, raising children, infidelity, managing business, assets and everything you need to consider before you take the plunge.....especially when 62% of marriages are failing.

Lean in close.

Take notes.
