Peter sits down with Julie, a wonderful mother, grandmother, social worker, and non-profit CEO. Julie was married for 22 years living together and 6 years separated. Peter and Julie discuss generational observations, early marriage, transitions and support systems, struggles and challenges, stress, chemical dependency, and mental health. She is absolutely lovely, and we hope you enjoy her story!

Welcome to the Positive Connection/Interaction Generator. A simple list of things you can do for your spouse in order to increase your positive interactions. Sit back and allow the list to wash over you, creating reminders and insight into how you may pursue your spouse today. WARNING: the P.I.G. may cause stress or feelings of overwhelm if it elicits reminders of things you or your spouse are not doing. Please proceed with caution and instead be encouraged to simply choose 1 thing to pursue your spouse with. Marriage is the best!

Peter and Becca discuss their third year of marriage. The third year was fraught with stress, struggle, and overwhelming emotions. It is a story of overcoming, commitment, and many many supportive people coming in to meet us in our moments of need. Thank you to everyone who has ever stepped into those moments for us or in any other marriage. Marriage is the best!

Peter talks about marriage counseling and a tool that he is enjoying using for couples to improve their communication as well as their intimate knowledge and understanding of one another. It is really fun and you should listen to it and then share it with other people who may, or may not, want to hear it!
