In today's episode, I am joined by my husband Aaron Dutcher. This podcast is partially named for him, so today I wanted to explain what Going Dutch means to me. Aaron speaks about his tips for rebuilding relationships and we both discuss the way in which partnering with God led us back to each other.
For me, Going Dutch has many meanings. To most people, it means going it alone in some way. I tried that. I went it alone in our marriage and I went it alone as a single woman. Now, Going Dutch reminds me that we brought our family back together. When I rely on God, I thrive and I want to be in a partnership with Him. For Aaron, it now means commitment and going in it together.
Aaron and I have been married, divorced, and re-married but have been in each other's lives since 1995. He is an organized man and that compliments my creative brain. I keep a list called the Aaron Truth List that I refer to, to keep me grounded. He has what he calls the Randa Playbook.
When we rebuilt our relationship, we started from the ground up. Aaron takes us through his 3 tips for rebuilding that he used during that process. A big takeaway is to let go of the victim mentality, the what-ifs that you have been carrying around and begin to understand that you are in your purpose.
It is a long and difficult road to rebuild, but we can tell you from experience that we are grateful for the hardships and the lessons we learned. Without them, we would not have found each other again.
