I am a Gen X father of two Gen Z teenagers. My wife and I have experienced the travel sports/activities grind and maintained a healthy marriage in the process.  It seems like we are in the minority based on what I’ve experienced.  In this episode, I will give you personal details and lessons (good and bad) I’ve learned surrounding travel activities.  If you are a parent and often say “I wish there were more hours in the day” this episode is for you.  Time management, reasonable expectations, and finding balance in family life are the keys to happiness!

When was the last time you saw an example of a happy marriage in the media? I discuss the negative portrayal of marriage in modern media and the cultural shift away from positive representations. Happy marriages are common and the lack of similar narratives in popular culture is painfully obvious. I talk about the psychology behind this phenomenon and why I think marriage is portrayed in such a negative light. _____________________________What Is Marriage Isn’t Dead?Marriage Isn’t Dead is an organization focusing on practical self-improvement advice for marriage, dating, career, work/life balance, entrepreneurship, parenting, and a healthy lifestyle.

Infidelity is complicated and one of the most painful things anyone can go through.  I’ve heard many stories from people over the years and after a while you start recognizing similarities.  In this episode, I break down the differences in men and women when it comes to infidelity. I discuss the statistics surrounding cheating, common motivations, and the emotional and sexual factors that contribute to infidelity. Ultimately, I want you to have healthy relationships so you can avoid cheating and perhaps learn why someone in your life cheated.

In this episode, I share five personal habits that helped a small-town Iowa kid become a millionaire by age 30.  I’m STILL that same kid and always will be.  My content is centered around marriage and relationships, but I mainly focus on self-improvement as the vehicle of true happiness.  This episode is devoted to helping you achieve financial freedom.  Success can be defined by monetary worth, but I tend to think “success” is simply living a happy and fulfilling life.  I want you to share the same success I’ve had while enjoying yourself along the way!

Desperation can be a dangerous and costly problem for some! Over the course of my online experience, I’ve seen many examples of coaches and organizations trying to take advantage of others. In this episode, I discuss the challenges and pitfalls of seeking relationship advice online. It’s important to be cautious about high-priced self-help programs and the need for a critical approach to advice. I share insights on navigating the online relationship landscape and highlight the value of readily available resources._____________________________What Is Marriage Isn’t Dead?Marriage Isn’t Dead is an organization focusing on practical self-improvement advice for marriage, dating, career, work/life balance, entrepreneurship, parenting, and a healthy lifestyle.“Marriage Isn’t Dead” on all podcast platforms!Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/marriageisntdead/⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555370507017⁠YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarriageIsntDead?sub_confirmation=1 Email: ⁠[email protected]⁠

After 20 years of happy marriage, interacting with thousands of people online, and coaching hundreds one on one, I recognize many common traits in happy (and miserable) couples. In this episode, I talk about THREE critical things happy couples have in common. These three traits can be achieved by anyone. You don’t have to be super successful or look like a model to have a happy relationship!

My wife and I recently celebrated our 20th Anniversary at a Sandals Resort in St. Lucia.  I share some relationship-related observations we noticed while we were there. If you’ve ever been to a Sandals or spent some time in the Caribbean, these observations will sound very familiar.  I share various tips about health, fitness, relationships, cultural differences, and the importance of making the most of life in general.
