The holidays can be a very stressful time of the year for a whole host of reasons. Many couples say that navigating the expectations of their extended family is on or near the top of the list of reasons for experiencing stress! Why is this so prevalent? Do your attempts to please grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and other extended family members hijack some of the "Merry" in your Christmas holidays, or, worse yet, prevent you from creating your own family traditions? 

Today we talk about how to navigate the touchy subject of creating your own family holiday traditions when the extended family members mentioned above have other plans or expectations in mind. This episode will help you and your spouse create a plan that you can both feel great about!

After all, it is perfectly natural to establish holiday traditions that will make every year something to look forward to for everyone in your family! It is possible to feel less stress and more MERRY this holiday season... we are sure of it!

One of the most common complaints spouses have is that their partner won't talk about their feelings. The absence of sharing feelings frequently leaves couples wondering if there is more to married life than simply managing the mundane day-to-day, having sex once in a while, and taking a vacation every year.

We want you to know you CAN have so much more!

Today we talk about the "why" and the "what" of this common complaint. That is, WHY it is that couples struggle to talk about their feelings, and WHAT you (as a couple) can do about it.

This episode has the potential to help you and your spouse change the old story of emotional disconnect! You will learn how you can create a culture in your marriage that makes sharing feelings commonplace, and thus, create a marriage that feels safe even when those feelings are difficult to express or hear!

Have you ever watched a child play and wondered why they have so much joy? Perhaps their joy and zest for life come from the play itself! Couples who are intentional about play tend to describe their marriage as life-giving (at least most days)!

Many couples who get caught up in the day-to-day hustle and bustle forget the powerful positive effect "play" has on their relationship. Play is one of those hidden secrets to a profoundly intimate marriage.
 
Today we discuss some of the amazing benefits for couples who are intentional about making play a priority. We also give examples in our own marriage story of ways we have made play essential even while navigating all the "busyness" that life brings our way.

This episode has the potential to help you have a profound life-giving impact on your sacred marriage!

Why is it that the topic of sex catches almost everyone's attention? Perhaps it's because sex is linked to such a huge bag of emotions... some good and some not-so-good.

For many couples, there are very positive associations like emotional and spiritual connection, bliss, deep joy, exclusivity, and physical pleasure. Yet for others, the associations are not so positive. Feelings of shame, anxiety, resentment, and fear (to name a few) can hijack what was intended to be sacred for those who said: "I Do!"
 
Today we discuss perhaps a new way to think about sex in marriage. We also discuss ways to bring new energy to physical intimacy between you and your spouse. Make sure to listen as we answer the question of Is It Sex or "Love-Making?" You may be surprised to hear our answer!

This we know for sure... you have the power to write a marriage story full of physical and emotional connection that will bring great joy to the heart!

Everyone's authentic marriage story is powerful and sacred! Is it possible that there is a Greater Author to that story, and we are invited to "co-author" it with Him?
 
Today we discuss our own marriage story, both the wonderful and not-so-wonderful. We hope it encourages you to discover ways to create a marriage that offers restoration to each other, fueled by Love & Grace. We also shed light on what it means to "submit one to another" in marriage.

You have the power to write a new chapter to your marriage story! A chapter full of connection, romance, forgiveness, play, grace, and restoration.

Have you ever tried to address a conflict within your marriage, but resorted to trying desperately to change your spouse? Or perhaps a better question... have you ever felt frustrated, hopeless, or even angry because your spouse won't do or act in a way that seems so right or logical to you?

My guess is yes! We have all been guilty of trying to do the impossible... change something about our spouse. Changing our spouse is impossible because it is way above our pay grade. So does being powerless to change our spouse (or anybody else for that matter) mean we should just live with it and experience conflict forever? Absolutely not!

There is hope for all couples who want peace, joy, and connection in their marriage. Today we discuss how to navigate conflict in your marriage without attempting to do the impossible task of changing your partner, but instead by helping each other become the best versions of yourselves. We believe this episode will give you tremendous hope and practical tools to grow deeper in your marriage as you live out God's Best together.

This is a can't-miss episode!
