  • Should I Date Within My Religion? - 12 Week Relationships Podcast #12
    Religion is one of the most common criteria people have when finding a partner. They must share the same belief. However, does that mean the relationship will be healthy?

    Dating and marrying within a religion has its benefits such as an established community and a shared value, but it's important to also consider the deeper motivations for being a part of the religion as well as individual core values. While religion can be a great start, taking it at surface value can lead to major conflict down the road.

  • Are All Relationships Actually the Same? - 12 Week Relationships Podcast #4
    When Pye presented his framework to Doctor Glen, he had a big bold thesis right on the cover. Pye claimed, “outside of romantic intimacy, all relationships follow the exact same patterns.”

    Yeah, if you’re surprised, Doctor Glen thought he was crazy too. But seriously though, do all healthy long-term relationships follow the same patterns? As Doctor Glen dove into Pye’s data and framework, he began to realize the same simple truth. It’s common to view all of these relationships differently, but in reality, every healthy relationship needs the same principles to succeed.

  • From Wedding Photography to... Relationship Coaching?? - 12 Week Relationships Podcast #3
    Nearly 15 years into a broken marriage, Pye Jirsa decided to create a framework for healthy relationships when his counselor said, “You’ve read every book on my shelf, I don’t know how to help you.”

    While photographing weddings, Pye collected anonymous data to help better understand the nature of healthy relationships. Simple points of behavior and interactions between the people that stood in front of his lens. Ten years of anonymous data and well over 500 case studies eventually laid the groundwork for a framework, book, and what we now call CVFT™ or Core Value Focused Therapy.
