10 Minutes to Save Your Marriage

We've got a doozy this week--and why not?! We're back after a long layoff. Thanks to an alert listener who sent in a great question, we're back in business! Be sure to send your questions so we can get back 100% on track and serve our fine audience.

This week, a listener writes in to ask about the coming out process for members of the LGBTQ community. The writer has concerns because of his family and their background, so Dr Steve and James handle the sensitive topic with a directness that honors the different components in the writer's situation. As per usual, listen in and see if you agree!

This week, a fan of Dr. Steve's writes in to say he has a friend who recently made an ill-advised--major--purchase. Listen in as the entire show unravels when James and Dr Steve get into it about the answer, the question, and the entire premise of the episode!

The title tells the tale--a listener writes in to ask how to initiate boundaries with a mother who seems to require constant attention. Dr Steve takes a rare role as "bad cop" this week, as he details a plan that includes (not surprisingly) therapy for the letter-writer. James doesn't use a softer touch necessarily but tries to slide into the unfamiliar "good cop" role. An interest

A listener writes an and asks a provocative question about parent/child boundaries. As per usual, James and Dr. Steve take different approaches to recommending an answer--but all in all, they are both in agreement. See what YOU think...

A serious episode this week--despite the letter-writer wanting a light-hearted answer. Basically, a listener wrote in and asked advice from James and Dr. Stev regarding a family member who may need to be institutionalized. Try as they might, the co-hosts could not make light of a serious situation. Listen in as the boys put on their "good advice" cas and reply to the question.

A listener writes in with a work-related question. Her "work bestie" has stolen credit for her ideas for some time now--and she wants to know what to do about it! Listen in as James (who is familiar with corporate culture) and Steve (who has only had a real job for the past two months) offer strikingly similar advice...

After what feels like an eternity, James and Dr. Steve are back in the saddle and answering listener questions. This week, we are grateful to get a softball from a listener who is concerned about her relationship choices. You'll rarely hear the two co-hosts agree with each other...but you will this time!

A listener writes in and asks for our advice. It seems her husband has some extraordinary spending habits that have driven the family into debt. The wife has been working hard to keep them afloat, but feels her husband will not listen to her pleas for a better long-term plan. James and Dr. Steve give their opinions--see if you agree with our advice!

This week, a listener writes in because he is concerned about his wife, who does not seem to want to leave their new baby. He wonders about her desire to return to work and expresses some confusion about her work ethic. James and Dr. Steve mash up a technically flawed episode (more phone demons, I'm afraid), but cobble together some basic nuggets of wisdom!
