When faced with a faith transition and a mixed faith marriage we panic a little and start to assign blame. Blame is often the first thing we reach for in an uncomfortable situation, but it is rarely helpful. Here I teach about blame and offer another option.

Here I offer more detail around the concepts of emotional adulthood and emotional childhood. When you can step into emotional adulthood you can create more space in your marriage for acceptance and connection.

Here I talk with my sister about faith and marriage. She and her husband left the church and have a very different marriage then I do. Here we discuss her marriage and how it’s shifted as their faith shifted.

In this episode I talk about the partnership model versus petitioner model. I provide a definition of partnership and compare and contrast the partnership model with the petitioner model. For years I showed up as a petitioner and it created a lot of frustration. Understanding the two models can help you decide how you want to show up in your marriage.

In this episode I talk about some common obstacles that prevent you from supporting your spouse from love and in a sustainable way.

Love feels so good. Sometimes we limit or put conditions on feeling amazing. Here I talk about conditional and unconditional love and how we limit our ability to feel love.
