One year ago, we ended 2023 with an episode expressing some disappointment over how much effort we put into our goals but weren't seeing the results. BUT at the end of 2024, we ARE seeing the results we had worked towards. In this final episode of the year, we share what we're proud of and what we credit our progress to. 

We explore our understanding and relationship to sex in marriage by making 12 accurate, creative, and humorous analogies. 

We know everything costs money...but consider what ELSE our desires, goals, impulses, and decisions may also be costing us. 

When we think about it, many of the most significant aspects of who we are stem from relatively small, forgettable, quirky things we might not even notice. Today we recognize the unrecognized and reflect on those quirky things we usually leave off our Thanksgiving Day gratitude lists. 

Even though we'd rather avoid agony and find ecstasy, these two experiences are interwoven. Today we talk about how we might appreciate - even lean into - the agony in pursuit of those ecstatic moments of life. 

We take so much in our lives for granted, assuming they'll always be there and telling ourselves we'll appreciate them "tomorrow." But taking something for granted means that we don't actually appreciate it until it's gone...and too late. This episode is about not waiting until we lose something - or someone - to fully appreciate it. 

What are you hungry for in life, and how are you feeding those hungers?

There are a lot of things we think only children do...but we adults do them, too. Sure, we think we're justified, or that it's different when we're all grown up. But is it? This episode is all about what it means to grow old, and to grow up.

There is not a lot that we think of as sacred, but our body is the vessel of our soul and the union of the physical and divine. Today we consider what "sacred" means and how we might treat ourselves differently if we thought of our bodies that way.

Don't wait for a problem to arise before you think, "We should work on our marriage!" Problems will arise, but if you work on your marriage when things are good, then you will be ready to confront, together, whatever life throws at you.
