The Art of

Love & Business™

7 SECRETS TO GO FROM

PILLOW TALK TO PROFIT TALK

A practical guide for couples navigating love, money, and building together — without losing themselves

or each other.


The Perfect Couple Myth

The idea of the “perfect couple” is a myth.

What most people don’t see are the hard conversations, missteps, role confusion, money stress, and growing pains that come with building something together.

The Art of Love & Business exists to pull back the curtain.


What This Book

Helps Couples Do

Have the conversations most couples keep avoiding

Most couples don’t avoid hard conversations because they don’t care.
They avoid them because they don’t have the words.

This book helps couples talk about:

  • money without shutting down

  • roles without keeping score

  • power without guilt

  • expectations without assumptions

So tension stops feeling personal — and starts feeling workable.

What this fixes:
Avoidance → resentment → misalignment

Stop turning conflict

into a character flaw

A lot of conflict isn’t about someone being “wrong.”


It’s about two people operating from different backgrounds, expectations, and definitions of support.

This book helps couples see conflict as:

  • a design problem

  • not a personality problem

And shows them how to create your own way of operating together.

What this fixes:
“This is just how you are” → “This is how we work”

Build together without

losing the relationship

Whether couples are:

  • building a business together

  • supporting one partner’s ambition

  • or just trying to plan life intentionally

This book helps you:

  • define roles

  • support growth

  • make decisions together

  • and protect connection while building something meaningful

What this fixes:
Growth pulling couples apart instead of bringing them closer

Who is this book for?

Aspiring Entrepreneurs

You’re thinking about building something — maybe together, maybe not — and want to understand what it actually takes to grow without losing alignment.

Couples in Business Together

You already work together and feel the tension between love, money, and responsibility.

You want better communication and clearer roles — not more arguments.

Couples Who Want a

Stronger Foundation

Even without a business, long-term partnership still requires planning, decision-making, and shared vision.

These tools strengthen relationships beyond entrepreneurship.

The Four Areas Every Couple

Has to Learn to Navigate

Communication

Not just how you feel—but how you talk through decisions, disagreement, expectations, and pressure without shutting down or blowing up.

Money

How to talk about income, spending, risk, and financial decisions without tension, avoidance, or one person carrying all the stress.

Roles & Operations

Figuring out who does what, how decisions get made, and how to work together day-to-day without stepping on each other or building resentment.

Love

Staying connected, intimate, and intentional while building something demanding—because the relationship shouldn’t be the cost of success.

How This Book Is Written

(And Why That Matters)

This book is built on our real experiences — the good, the hard, the awkward, and the funny.

We share our real conflicts, real mistakes, and how we worked through them in real time.

You don’t just get one voice — you get his perspective, her perspective, and then how we came back together as a couple to make decisions that moved us forward.

Throughout the book, we include conversation starters and “where to start” exercises so you’re not just reading — you’re actually having the conversations most couples avoid.

Why We Wrote This

We didn’t write this book because we had a perfect relationship. We wrote it because we were living it.

In the same year, we:

  • quit our corporate jobs

  • started a business together

  • and got married

It wasn’t some perfectly timed plan.

It was a decision to bet on each other.

We’ve been together since 2014, and over the years we’ve learned that love doesn’t survive on tradition alone — it survives on honesty, flexibility, and choosing what actually works for your partnership.

Along the way, we learned that trying to force ourselves into traditional roles didn’t make us stronger — it made things harder.

So we stopped asking, “What are couples supposed to do?” and started asking, “What works for us?”

That question changed everything.

FAQ

Got questions?

Do we need to be married to read this book?

No. This book is for couples at different stages — dating, engaged, married, or long-term partners who are thinking about building something together.

Do we have to be in business together already?

Not at all. This book is especially helpful if you’re considering going into business together or trying to figure out if it even makes sense for you as a couple.

Is this a business book or a relationship book?

Both. We talk about love, communication, and connection — but we also talk about money, roles, decisions, entrepreneurship and building a business together in a real way.

Is this book religious or faith-based?

No. This book is not religious or faith-based.

While faith may be mentioned in personal reflections, the book is grounded in real-life experiences, practical conversations, and decision-making tools that apply to couples from all backgrounds.

The foreword was written by our longtime pastor as a reflection on our journey — not as a religious framework for the book.

What makes this book different from other couple or relationship books?

We don’t present a “perfect couple” image. We share real conflicts, different perspectives, and how we actually worked through them — including when we didn’t agree.

Is the book interactive?

Yes. Each section includes conversation starters and exercises designed to help you talk things through together, not just read and move on.

Can I read this alone, or do we need to read it together?

You can do either. Some couples read it together, others read individually and come back to the exercises when they’re ready to talk.

What is the retreat, and do I have to attend?

The retreat is an optional, in-person experience where we bring the book to life through guided conversations and activities. You don’t need to attend to benefit from the book.
