Lets Explore What Us Is All About
Hey there! We’re Bradley and Amanda, creators of The Us Equation. If you desire a more fulfilling marriage with less friction, but don’t know where start, this page is for you.
Our belief in helping you grow is simple: To invite you along on our journey, sharing with you what we are doing that is bearing fruit.
What Is “Us”?
The “Us” Equation
Definition
In our experience, what most married couples crave – and what we focus on here at The Us Equation – is the following:
To have a fulfilling marriage, built upon extraordinary unity, that experiences more joy and less frustration.
In other words, we don’t think a fulfilling marriage just happens.
Instead, fulfilling marriages continually do the hard work of building unity in their relationship. They are intentional, knowing the hard work sowed today will grow into a fulfilling marriage.
What an “Us” marriage is not
Let’s Start With
Some Real Talk…
Alright, so some real talk before we go any further. We need to dispel some myths and set the right expectations.
- Building An Us Marriage is NOT Easy. We’re sorry, but Disney lied to you. You don’t get married and then simply enjoy a “happily ever after”. Have you ever heard that old couple giving advice say “marriage takes hard work”? This is what they are talking about. You have to daily build your “happily ever after” brick by brick. Nothing in life is easy, and experiencing a fulfilling marriage built on unity is no different. We won’t sugar coat this because too many newlyweds are getting blindsided when they hit the first bump in the road. We’ll share what we are learning in hopes of helping guide you, but we can’t force you to take action. That’s up to you.
- Building An Us Marriage Doesn’t Happen Overnight. We don’t believe an “Us Marriage” can be built over one conversation or weekend getaway. It’s a life-long journey. Our marriage is still at the beginning, but we are in it for the long haul. We may not always see the results immediately, but each day we are adding a brick until we have the marriage we want. You can too.
- Building An “Us” Marriage Isn’t Impossible. Having a fulfilling marriage may seem out of reach today. But it is possible for you. Amanda and I have already begun experiencing more joy and less frustration in our marriage. We are a far cry from where we want to be, but we know that creating an Us Marriage is totally possible. And we want you to believe it too.
The “Us” Equation Essential #1
A Desire For Unity
A desire for unity is the first essential for experiencing a fulfilling marriage.
Everything we share and write about is focused on creating more unity in your marriage. Whether it is practical tips on how to talk through certain situations, exercises you can do, or sharing our own stories, we want you to experience unity.
In order to build an “Us” marriage, you need to have a desire for unity. Constantly striving to become and continue being unified with your spouse.
The “Us” Equation Essential #2
A Desire To Grow and Experiment
A marriage is never perfect, and you need to be ok with not having a perfect relationship. Being willing to admit that you aren’t perfect allows you to grow and experiment as a marriage.
In order to build an “Us” marriage, you must be willing to grow. The only way for your marriage to grow and become more unified is for each individual to grow. Your marriage will grow in proportion to the amount that you decide to grow as a person.
An important part of growth is the desire to experiment and try new things. You can’t get to a place you’ve never been by doing what you have always done. Experimenting, without knowing if it will work, is needed for you to step out of your comfort zone and commit to something that you don’t usually do.
