This is my first episode back after taking a break and spending some much needed quality time with my favorite humans on the planet. I give an update on my family and make some announcements about cool things that are coming soon.

My favorite announcement is that the Intimacy Level Quiz that I've been working on all summer is finally ready for you to take! Did you know that there are 4 levels of intimacy a couple can acheive in their marriage? Take this quick 3-minute quiz to find out what level you are at. You'll be so glad you did!

Once you have your quiz results, come tell me on Instagram what level you are at, so I can create some fun resources to help you raise your intimacy level, even if you are at the highest level. There is always room for improvement, right?

You will notice this episode has no intro or outro. It's because I started using new equipment to improve the audio quality of my episodes, and I don't know how to use it yet. I decided to lauch the episode anyway and figure out the fancy stuff later. I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you will come back each week for brand new, amazing episodes every Thursday.

In today's episode, I'm chatting with my friends, Greg and Rachel Denning of Extraordinary Family Life about expectations in marriage and love. We quickly come to the conclusion that husbands don't get hints. All joking aside, unrealistic expectations are the breeding ground for lots of unnecessary disappointment and resentment.

Our conversation covers how to start becoming aware of our expectations and their effects of our relationship, what to do instead and how to communicate so our partners don't have to guess what we are thinking.

In honor of Valentine's Day, we are working together to bring you a very special bundle which includes the Offensive Playbook Challenge for husbands together with Greg's Be the Man Workshop for one low price. You can check out that deal here: https://offensiveplaybookchallenge.com.

In this week's episode, I'm chatting with Seth and Melanie Studley of Anatomy of Marriage about how to stay intimately connected during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. The Studleys began their journey 11 years ago when Melanie gave Seth a black eye for lying and looking at pornography. That was when their search for raw, helpful and authentic marriage resources came to a dead-end and they nearly gave up. After scraping and clawing their way back to marital health they decided to create the marriage resources that they wish they had had during those tough times.

As the holidays approach, issues such as finances, family of origin and family roles and responsibilities come up for almost every married couple. In this interview, we talk about the importance of being proactive in setting intentions and creating a shared vision for holiday activities and events. As stress and emotions arise, these are opportunities to connect more deeply as opposed to withdrawing and disconnecting.
