  • Why This Communication Style Changed Our Marriage (Reacting to Therapy in a Nutshell)

    Send us a voicemail to tell us what you think!

    In today’s episode we react to therapy in a nutshell. What if we told you that communication was deeply influenced by an unseen cultural force - 'Ask Culture' versus 'Guess Culture'. This concept changed our marriage for the better and allowed us to build a foundation of understanding that we never had experienced. We’re so happy you’re here with us! Let’s jump in!

  • When Should Wives Submit? Part 1

    Send us a voicemail to tell us what you think!

    How should married couples understand submission in marriage? Is it an outdated practice or a misinterpreted piece of Christian wisdom? In this episode we react to Fr. Mike's video and explore the true essence of submission in marriage. Drawing from ideas of Pope St. John Paul II along with our experience in marriage, we challenge the false dichotomy of Ephesians 5 that is often presented. We highlight the importance of mutual submission and the role that trust and complementarity play. And at the end we realize we have so much more to say! Stay tuned for part 2, We're so happy you're here with us, let's jump in!
