We get asked for good marriage resources daily, yet we struggle to give good healthy recommendations. We discuss how you can evaluate different marriage resources and try to take the good out of some (and talk about a few just to throw away!)

Your story matters. What does that even mean? Why is it essential that we get to know our own story? I mean, I lived it; shouldn't I already know my story? These are just a few of the questions we hear when we discuss story work in coaching. Today we will give you the why, and what of story work and a small taste of why we think it is so important. For more information visit our website, Still Becoming One and The Allender Center.

When was the last time you went away with just your spouse? No matter the answer, that question brings up many thoughts and emotions. Whether it’s uncertainty on how to make this a priority or excitement for the next getaway. Friends, we get it. Getting away is not an easy thing to do, but it is a significant priority to have in your marriage.

That sacred time alone makes space for relaxing, connecting, and recharging, not to mention dreaming, laughing, and snuggling. Join us as we explore why getting away at least once a year, just the two of you, needs to be a priority and bring to light the challenges many couples face with getting away together. Also, stay tuned for a special event announcement later this year with our good friend J Parker from Hot Holy Humorous

"We are so different," "We married so young," "I don't even know myself" These are all statements we hear from individuals and couples who are in desperate places in their marriages. They feel like they have changed so much that they don't even know their spouse anymore.

What is happening? Is the 7-year itch a real thing? How can marriages last as couples both grow? We take a hard look at this crazy dynamic and give some ideas on how your marriage can survive the 7-year itch! Hint it isn't about 7 years. It is about finding growth and change in your marriage, not outside of it! Let's work on building up ourselves and our spouses so that they will find new hobbies, not new spouses!

Kids are a wonderful challenge in every marriage. We love them dearly, and yet it is hard to juggle what they need and the needs of your marriage too. We often hear from couples who put their marriage on hold because their kids need them.  

We believe that kids raised in a marriage-positive home don't feel the lack of time nearly as much as they feel the positive effects of a healthy marriage. We decided to take a risk in this episode and put our theory to the test. 

We invited our oldest son to be our guest on the podcast and share his raw and honest thoughts about what it was like to live through our marriage challenges, changes, and, eventually, us starting our marriage ministry! Does having a marriage-positive approach to parenting change things? You be the judge.

Life transitions in marriage are unique and challenging times for any couple, and yet life throws those transitions at us quite frequently. Getting married, having children, losing a parent, moving, changing jobs, and having kids move out, all of these can be challenging times of transition for any couple. 
We share what major life transitions we are making in 2023 and how we are trying to navigate them well in our marriage. Join us, and maybe you'll get some ideas on how you can make your next life transition easier in your marriage too.
