  • Balancing Marriage and Parenting

    Many couples face the challenge of one partner feeling sidelined due to the other’s intense focus on parenting. It’s not uncommon for a spouse to feel abandoned, labeled as "needy," "immature," or "selfish" for simply wanting quality time together. Yet, this struggle is real—when one partner becomes consumed by the demands of parenthood, it can put a tremendous strain on their marital bond.This imbalance can take a toll on the family in the long run. We can't just press pause on our relationship and function solely as co-parents until the kids are off to college, hoping to seamlessly switch back to being a couple once the nest is empty. Nurturing our partnership is essential, both for our own well-being and for the health of our family as a whole.

  • Dont't be a Creepy Guy

    There’s socially awkward, and then there's creepy! You might be surprised and how often guys get in trouble with their spouse for acting creepy or how often guys who are on dating sites or in singles groups get classified as “creepy.” Not socially awkward—creepy!

    This issue has kept popping up in counseling sessions over the years, so I thought I would address it.

    Some times it appears the guy knew what he was doing, but thought somehow he would get away with it or maybe that it was acceptable to someone on some level. Then at other times, I think the guys were just clueless, perhaps they felt they were being cool or funny or what they were doing or the way they were behaving was acceptable. Generally speaking, It was not!

    So, whether you're married or not, whether you're in a social setting or you're at work, what makes a guy seem creepy?

  • What Men Want

    As in our podcast discussing the theme of "what women want," we are once again speaking in broad terms. Just like women, men have diverse preferences regarding what matters to them, influenced by their personality, age, life circumstances, upbringing, values, and numerous other life factors.

    In this episode, our goal is to highlight basic needs men have in general that helped them to thrive in their relationship, relationships, and life.

  • What Women Want

    The notion that women and their needs are enigmatic is both inaccurate and unjust. It's far too simple to portray a woman as the issue—when in truth, we simply haven't invested the time to engage in essential discussions and truly understand them.
