We are not wired to go through this life alone. Story reminds us that our problems are not unique and that others can understand so that we can truly see that healing can happen. Story can be the change that you and others are looking for.

Sex can be something that brings a couple great closeness, or it can bring difficulty and misunderstanding. We believe that talking about sex with your partner can be a great way for you to have a better sex life. How you talk about sex - that is the issue. In this episode, we discuss healthy questions and how these conversations can lead to better marital and sexual satisfaction.

In this episode, Tara rolls her eyes at Broc but later acquiesces that he may be right when he calls empathy the straw to blend a marriage into something where each person feels seen, heard and valued. Join us as we define empathy and share how it can truly be a game changer and set a great tone for all of your married life.

Money can be an extreme source of contention in your marriage, but what if we could give you a few ideas to turn those arguments into understanding? Like other areas in your marriage, money is something you can grow in your relationship into a place of understanding and growth.

It is so easy to isolate. Our experience has shown us that isolation in marriage (or lack of community with others outside of our marriage) doesn't give us the full opportunity to embrace the wholeness that could be gained. Oftentimes community can be that missing thing that brings hope, understanding, healing, and compassion to our marriage. 

Tara helps us understand what codependency is, why it could be a marriage problem, how to begin to understand it, some signs of codependency, and what we can do about it. Codependency can for sure bring some imbalance to our relationships and if not addressed it can lead to feelings that may truly hinder our marriage.

Join us as we complete the discussion on the beauty of connecting with God and navigating if you and your spouse have different definitions of worship.

In this episode, we take a look at an often-overlooked component of marriage - God's presence. Without it, we believe it is going to be super tough to be in a healthy relationship. However, you and your spouse probably have different definitions of spirituality and that can make things frustrating. Join us as we explore a healthy understanding of the two of you connecting with God.

It is so easy to create a script of how things should be when we enter the holiday season. We have expectations about how our family will respond, how we will respond, and how everything will beautifully play out. Unfortunately, we can't control the script, but we can do some things to work on ourselves by being mindful and being present.

In this episode, we explore the quote that "marriage maintains itself linguistically." As a fire needs oxygen to continue to burn, so does your marriage need this vital component to be meaningful and fulfilling. Keep drawing the circle and see how you can enrich your marriage relationship.

When we have great expectations for our marriage it can also lead to great disappointments and frustrations if those expectations aren't handled well. Conversation, compromise, understanding and sacrifice are words that must surround our world of expectations.

When we begin our marriage, typically our definition of love is limited and errors on the selfish side. A healthy marriage needs a broader and more "us minded" understanding of love. It is definitely a journey to truly grasp what it means to love and we hope this discussion is a great guide for your growth.
