80. Is Your Spouse Controlling?

Mar 14 2024 25 mins

"My spouse is so controlling." I hear it a lot. And honestly, it happens more than we want to admit. Control tactics are easy to see. What's not so easy is knowing what to do about it. We discuss our thoughts about what someone can try if they have a controlling spouse, as well as what you might try if you recognize yourself as the one trying to control. If you enj

79. The Real Reason Your Marriage is Lonely

Mar 07 2024 20 mins

So many people are lonely, even though they are surrounded by people. Why is that? It's because they are not thinking relationally. It's easy to get caught in a competitive stance in any relationship. It's especially easy in your marriage relationship--because there's so much to lose! Individualism is competitive, limited thinking, and separates you from the other.

78. Shields Up! Protect Your Marriage

Feb 29 2024 32 mins

Infidelity. It doesn't always mean the end of a relationship, but I don't know anyone who doesn't find it hurtful. Betrayal in any form is traumatic. So, how do you protect your marriage from infidelity? To be clear, this episode is not about how to prevent your spouse from cheating. That's not really possible. But the two of you can work together to infidelity-pro

77. You DON'T Have to Get on the Same Page

Feb 22 2024 15 mins

I can't tell you how many times I've heard people talk about not being "on the same page" with their spouse. I've asked myself--before I knew better--if my husband and I were even "in the same library." The good news is, you don't have to be on the same page. In fact, collaboration REQUIRES two different opinions or points of view. We talk abou

76. How to Choose the Perfect Gift

Feb 15 2024 14 mins

I know it's not Christmas time. But we give gifts all the time. If we include acts of service, we give something to our spouse or family (hopefully) nearly every day. There are different ways we can approach gift giving. We can --give what we want to give --give what we want to get --give what we think the other would give to us --give what we think the other would want t

75. When Your Spouse Hates Valentine's Day

Feb 08 2024 20 mins

This is a more lighthearted episode--so don't take it too seriously! Monte doesn't like Valentine's Day. In fact, he outright hates it. Andelin, on the other hand, likes to celebrate the day. What better time to show your spouse how much you love them? How do they manage this difference of opinion? Listen in to find out. If you enjoyed this episode, please subscrib

74. Truth and Love

Feb 01 2024 20 mins

What do truth and love have to do with each other? As it turns out...a lot. Can you have one without the other? Can you speak truth without love? If you are hiding your truth, or not standing up for yourself, is that loving? We strive to help others have stronger, healthier marriages. Good communication, healthy boundaries, and deep intimacy are all part of every healthy relatio

73. Is "Forgive and Forget" Good Advice?

Jan 25 2024 22 mins

We have all heard the phrase, "forgive and forget." But what does this actually mean? Not all actions are equal. Some are harder to forgive than others. Some are a breach of trust, others are simply an annoyance (and everything in between!). We share our thoughts about what it takes to forgive, when forgetting might be the better option, and when it might not be. Forgi

72. Consent

Jan 18 2024 18 mins

You've probably heard about consent when it comes to the physical body. But I doubt you've heard about it talked about in this context. Back in episodes 48 and 49, we talked about the 4 C's for having a hard conversation. But we realized that we missed one, a REALLY important one. This episode adds a 5th "C" to this list. If you find yourself avoiding conv
