5 Reasons Why You Need a 'Marriage Board'

Marriage Board?  Really?  You might be wondering what that could possible entail.  Well, honestly, so did we when we coined the term.  Admittedly, we got a bit creative but the intent and reality, in this case, is relatively one of the same. 

Marriage can be exciting, rewarding, and loving as well as hard, tough, and challenging.  The journey each couple takes is both unique and undeniably personal.  Opportunities to share experiences with other couples in a candid way are rare.  We aimed to create a safe space to lean on other couples who share like interest and called them “Married Boards”. 

Like corporate boards, members of your marriage board are available to help you navigate the ups and downs of marriage through the lens of their own experience. Boards can be comprised of people you know and select like friends or family. We also have the option of curating member based boards based on you and your spouses interests, demographics, etc. Some call it algorythmic.

Here’s 5 Reasons Why You Need One:

1)    Transparency – it is remarkably refreshing to be able to share a story with other couples in an open and transparent way.  Boards are required to be judgement free zones because everyone has baggage

2)    Connectivity – connecting with couples of similar interests but different generations provides a unique opportunity to both identify and connect.  This connectivity is initially surprising but ultimately familiar and long lasting

3)    Empathy – defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another is beyond applicable in this case.  It’s kind of like kindred spirits…anyone who is married understands other who are...no explanation needed                    

4)    Activity – embarking on virtual or face to face exclusive experiences together, as a board, provides opportunities to get to know each other.  Whether its cooking together, meditating together, or exercising together, marriage boards become a great social refuge

5)    Support – look, we all argue. We all get frustrated and we all often teeter on loosing our minds when it comes to our spouse.  It is human.  Marriage boards include counselors who are there if and only when you need them. They are never intrusive but provide useful tools and techniques
