How do you measure connection in a marriage? What exactly is it and how do you get more of it when it’s missing?

In today’s episode of the Secure Marriage Podcast you’ll get to enjoy listening to Shannon do her best trying to explain how it all works and eventually come to a clear understanding of how to get more connected to your spouse.

Has it ever felt like your husband wasn’t truly listening to you or your ideas and no matter how hard you tried you couldn’t convince him of your perspective?

In today’s episode of the Secure Marriage Podcast we’re looking at the damage this behavior can cause and why it’s so important for husbands (and wives) to be open to influence.

It’s easy to feel trapped and discouraged if your husband doesn’t think he needs to do marriage counseling. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

In today’s episode of the Secure Marriage Podcast we’re exploring a variety of options you can choose from that will help you personally and, eventually, your relationship overall.

Physical health. Weight gain. Dress sizes. These are very common points of insecurity and conflict for a lot of couples. Shannon and I can clearly remember a time when these issues were front and center in our relationship.

In today’s episode of the Secure Mariage Podcast we’re looking at the underlying factors that make this topic so difficult to discuss between husbands and wives.

When you get really good at doing marriage, not all misunderstandings will lead to conflict. Sometimes they’re so ridiculous and absurd, the only thing you can do is laugh at yourselves.

In today’s episode of the Secure Marriage Podcast, you’ll get to hear how a random text conversation led to some pretty hilarious moments for Shannon and I.

Did you know you can talk to your wife in such a way where you stay emotionally connected and both of you feel heard and understood even when you completely disagree about the topic you’re talking about?

If this sounds nearly impossible or too good to be true then you need to listen to today’s episode of the Secure Marriage Podcast. Shannon and I break down a few of our recent conversations and show you step-by-step how to make it happen in your relationship.

Does your husband get defensive whenever you need to talk about something important? Does it feel like he shifts the blame or tries to avoid the conversation altogether?

In today’s episode of the Secure Marriage Podcast, we’ll show you how you can begin a conversation without triggering your husband’s survival brain and get him to listen and understand you better.

I didn’t want to record today’s podcast, but Shannon made me. I was in no mood to think about marriage stuff. I wasn’t in the mood to think about anything important. But she dragged me to the table, made me sit down and talk about my feelings.

Honestly, I’m sorta glad she did. Even though I’m in a bad mood, I’m still responsible for treating my bride (and the rest of the family) with kindness and patience. In today’s episode of the Secure Marriage Podcast, we look at what it takes to regulate your emotions even when you’re not at the top of your game.

“I’m at the point in my marriage where I feel so ignored, neglected, and numb that I’m ready to start the process for divorce.” This woman posted this to a marriage forum hoping to find someone that can give her a clear path to a happy marriage.

We know she’s not alone. So many couples are hurting and looking for a clear path to a better marriage, but they don’t know where to turn or how to find it. That’s why we’re talking about the Relationship Roadmap today. It will show you exactly where you’re at and what you need to do to change the direction of your miserable marriage.

What was the last stupid thing you and your spouse had a fight about? For us, it was hamburgers. But like all ridiculous arguments, it’s never about hamburgers. It’s always about deeper, more important things that can either make or break your marriage.

In today’s episode of the Secure Marriage Podcast, we’ll break down the deeper issues in our own conflict and show you how to easily and quickly get connected to your spouse again.
