Many of us have experienced childhood trauma that, unbeknownst to us, affects our marriage. Today's guests, Javier and Christina Llerena's marriage fell apart after a few years due to unresolved pain, unforgiveness, and a bout with depression. The Llerena's realized quickly that in order for their marriage to heal, they would need to do some real, internal work and surround themselves with a community of faith . . . specifically, other married couples who could support them in their dark season. 

On this episode, we discuss the value of premarital counseling and what the red flags the Llerena's missed before getting married. There is also a cultural nuance in their marriage . . . Javier just became a U.S. citizen recently, and having a very different upbringing than Christina, the two struggled to connect. It all came to a head one fateful evening when Javier and Christina realized they needed help. Through making the choice to fight back and experience a breakthrough in their marriage, they have now helped hundreds of couples to overcome in marriage. 

The Llerena's have written a book called Boundless Love, and serve premarital and marital couples in the California area primarily. To find out more about the Llerena's or to purchase their book, visit http://boundlesslove.us.

This episode is for single moms and single dads who are dealing with custody issues of children. Today's guest, Eric Carroll, founder of Dad Talk Today, shares with us some a very important perspective on the truth about "dead beat dads" and what's known as parental alienation. His commitment to see more dads be able to actually parent their kids is refreshing and his story, at times, is heartbreaking. Take a listen and see if you believe absent fathers have rights, and if so, what we can do to help them.

Learn what you can do to have a better sex life today! Join me and licensed sex therapist, Dr. Jessica McCleese, as we have a conversation around building sexual intimacy in marriage. Sex shouldn't be a taboo topic in marriages nor should it illicit shame and anxiety. From a Christian perspective, Dr. McCleese shares about the value of having open and honest conversations with our children about their body parts, having the courage to tell your spouse what you do and do not like in the bedroom, and how to maximize the often forgotten about "afterglow" experience. This is an important conversation that will yield powerful and pleasurable results in your marriage.

Welcome to Real Relationship Talk, a podcast about marriage, family, dating, friendships, and all things relationships. I'm so glad you're here!  I am your host, Dana Che (pronounced Day-na Shay). I have been preparing this show for years, and I have been being prepared just as long. I wanted to create a show where real people with real issues could find real solutions to their real relationships.

I want our times together to be fruitful, joyful, and mutually beneficial. To that end, I carefully choose the relationship experts I have on the show with you in mind. No fakers allowed. And, you can trust that I will ask the questions you are thinking. 

Relationship podcasts abound, so what makes this one different? We will address relationships holistically. For example, you can't really have a solid marriage if you're still wounded from childhood. You can't have fulfilling friendships when you haven't learned how to love yourself. I want you to feel confident in the episodes I share. And, of course, we will always keep it real! 

So be sure to click that SUBSCRIBE button, SHARE, and RATE this podcast. Your support means the world!
