Today, we break down why that's a dangerous misunderstanding, using a real listener's story about a mother-in-law who won't stop attacking her daughter-in-law behind closed doors.RESOURCES:Master marital communication: https://speak.fiercemarriage.comTake the 31-Day Pursuit Challenge: https://31daypursuit.comPray for your spouse with intention: https://40prayers.comTo learn more about becoming a Christian, visit: https://thenewsisgood.comThis ministry is entirely listener-supported.

Is comparison quietly damaging your marriage? It's easier than ever to look at another couple—on social media, in your friend group, or even at church—and wonder why your relationship doesn't feel like theirs. But what if you're comparing your marriage to a version that doesn't actually exist? In this episode, we're talking about the unrealistic expectations we've placed on long-term relationships, why healthy marriages still go through hard seasons, and how comparison can make a good marriage feel broken. You'll leave with a healthier way to evaluate your relationship—one that's based on growth instead of perfection. If you've ever questioned whether your marriage is "normal," felt discouraged by what everyone else seems to have, or wondered if you've lost what you once had, this episode is for you.

What if marriage was never meant to be primarily about your happiness? In this episode, Dr. Kim sits down with Randy and Rozanne Frazee, authors of Encountering God's Love from Genesis to Revelation, to explore how God's design for marriage is part of a much bigger story. Together, they discuss how understanding God's love throughout Scripture can transform the way couples view their relationship, shifting the focus from chasing happiness to living out a covenant that reflects Christ's love. Randy and Rozanne share wisdom from their own marriage, practical ways couples can encounter God together, and encouragement for those who feel spiritually disconnected. You'll learn why spiritual intimacy doesn't require grand gestures, how your relationship with God directly impacts your relationship with your spouse, and why counseling can be one of the healthiest investments you make before a crisis ever arrives. Whether you're in a thriving season or feeling stuck, this conversation will help you see your marriage through a wider lens, one that is rooted in God's purpose, sustained by His love, and strengthened through intentional connection. Episode Highlights Marriage Was Designed for More Than Happiness How God's Bigger Story Gives Marriage Greater Purpose Your Relationship with God Shapes Your Relationship with Your Spouse Simple Ways to Build Spiritual Intimacy Together Why Counseling Should Be Preventative, Not Just a Last Resort Practical Steps for Reconnecting When You Feel Spiritually Disconnected Key Takeaway The healthiest marriages aren't built by pursuing happiness first. They're built by pursuing God together, faithfully living out your covenant commitment, and allowing His love to shape the way you love one another. Quotes from This Episode: Randy Frazee Quotes "The closer we move to Christ, the closer we move to each other." "Marriage is really more about sacrifice. God instills this amazing agape love in you, and your job is to pour it out to others—especially your spouse." "The pursuit wasn't happiness. The pursuit was fulfilling our covenant commitment. As a result of that, we received happiness." "When you go after the feeling of happiness, it almost always devastates the relationship you're in. When you go after the responsibility of being like Christ for the sake of others, happiness often follows." "Marriages don't drift toward intimacy—they drift toward chaos. That's why intentionality matters." "The love you have to offer apart from God will eventually get you into trouble. You need God's love flowing into you before it can flow through you." Rozanne Frazee Quotes "I can't put expectations on him because he will always let me down. God will never let me down." "Marriage in Scripture is never presented as a right. It's presented as a responsibility." "The wall of resentment goes up very quickly, but it comes down one brick at a time." "Knowing that God loves me unconditionally gives me the freedom to risk loving another person." "If you want your husband to become more of a spiritual leader, encourage what he's doing instead of criticizing what he's not doing." "As you grow closer to God, you'll naturally grow closer to each other." "Don't wait until the last minute to get help. Go early. Go often. Go preventatively." Dr. Kim Quotes "We can't put our marriage on the back burner for eighteen years while we raise kids and expect it to still be thriving when they're gone." "You'll never regret carving out intentional time for your marriage, but you will regret not doing it." "Your obedience is to God. Keep doing what God is calling you to do, whether your spouse responds immediately or not." "A thirty-second prayer, a verse of the day, a simple step—just start somewhere. God can grow it from there." "What makes the difference isn't doing marriage perfectly—it's continually coming back to God's design for it." "Sometimes the most important thing a couple can do is simply make the time to reconnect." Time to Talk About It: What is one thing you see God doing in me (your spouse) right now that you appreciate and want to encourage? Have there been times when we've expected each other to meet needs that really need to be taken to God first? What's one small thing we could do this week to be more intentional about growing closer to God together? Is there anything we've been putting off talking about that would be better to address now instead of letting it sit?

Cuando nos casamos, la mayoría de nosotros imaginamos una vida plena de conexión y compañía. Sin embargo, cuando uno se siente ignorado, no elegido o decepcionado por la manera en que su cónyuge se presenta —tanto emocional como sexualmente—, el matrimonio puede comenzar a sentirse solitario y aislante.

What if the same framework that helps CEOs find their competitive advantage could help you see exactly where your marriage stands? In this episode of The SavvyCast, I sit down with my husband Zane for another marriage SWOT analysis. The last time we recorded a SWOT analysis on the podcast was six years ago, so we wanted to do an updated marriage self-assessment of our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. From navigating Zane's conversion to Catholicism and my aversion to travel, to the joy of grandchildren and the goal of expanding our marriage ministry, this conversation is an invitation for any couple to do a marriage self-assessment and actually take action on what they find.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a dynamic that exists quietly inside more first responder marriages than anyone wants to admit: the feeling that being fully honest with your spouse is not safe — and the slow, steady damage that silence does to a relationship when it becomes the default response to anything real. This is not about lying. It is about the moments where honesty feels too risky, too complicated, or too costly — and the first responder chooses silence, deflection, or a version of the truth that protects the peace instead of building genuine connection. This episode names what that pattern is, where it comes from, and what it is quietly doing to the marriages of the people who depend on that connection most.

Send us Fan MailA marriage can look fine on the outside while quietly getting torn down from the inside by one habit: a critical inner dialogue. We get honest about what happens when you replay a moment, assume the worst, and start building a case against the person you love. If you've ever thought “What did they mean by that?” and felt the rabbit hole open up, this conversation gives you a better way forward. We talk about what it means to defend your spouse to yourself and why that kind of mental discipline is a form of maturity. We share how fault finding chips away at respect, emotional safety, and physical intimacy, and why attraction struggles often start long before the bedroom, in the thoughts you repeatedly feed. You'll hear our real-life rhythm of praying for each other, why we don't force a “pray together” routine, and how daily intercession shifts your heart from irritation to empathy. We also lay out practical steps you can use immediately: catch the thought, replace irritation with interpretation, separate behavior from identity, practice daily gratitude, stop comparing, and communicate instead of stewing. Along the way, we anchor it with scriptures about love covering offenses and choosing what to focus on. If you want Christian marriage advice that's both spiritual and practical, this will help you build a healthier mindset and a stronger relationship. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

Episode 1153 Are you telling yourself you're too busy, too stressed, or waiting for the right time to work on your marriage? In this episode, Doug Holt sits down with TPM Advisor Ryan Peach to talk about one of the biggest patterns they see in successful men: using life's challenges as a reason not to take action. Whether it's a demanding career, financial concerns, family responsibilities, or feeling overwhelmed, many men convince themselves they'll focus on their marriage later. The problem is that later often comes with consequences they never saw coming. Doug and Ryan break down why waiting rarely works, how small daily decisions quietly create major problems over time, and why taking imperfect action is often the fastest path to saving your marriage and improving your life. If you've been telling yourself that now isn't the right time, this conversation may challenge you to take a closer look at what's really holding you back. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why "I'm busy" is often an excuse that keeps men stuck • How fear disguises itself as logic and planning • The hidden cost of waiting for the perfect time • What high performing men get wrong about priorities • Why small problems become major relationship issues over time • How to take action even when life feels overwhelming The future of your marriage isn't shaped by what you intend to do someday. It's shaped by the actions you take today. Based on insights from Doug Holt and Ryan Peach discussing the common excuses men use to delay working on themselves and their relationships, and why immediate action matters when your marriage is at risk. If you're not sure what's really causing the disconnect in your marriage, start by getting clarity. Get the free training at https://thepowerfulman.com/scales and discover the hidden patterns that may be keeping you stuck. You'll learn how to identify what's not working, why your relationship may feel off track, and the practical steps you can take to start rebuilding connection, trust, and intimacy.

We are so busy with so many things of the world, our family, and of keeping our heads above water, that I wonder if we spend time thinking about who we are - how we want to be remembered by our husband, children, family, and friends.In this episode, I talk about how my mom's recent death made me stop and think about how I would like to be remembered.Take time, today, to commit to the woman, the wife, the mother, the grandmother, and friend that you would like to be.Everything else in life is of little importance. How do you want to be remembered?Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

Most people have heard of the "dark web," but what exactly is it? Is it really a hidden corner of the internet where criminals and bad actors operate beyond the reach of law enforcement? And what about the "deep web"—is that the same thing? These terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean very different things. Understanding the difference offers a fascinating glimpse into how the internet really works. https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/what-dark-web You often hear that fewer people are getting married, that younger generations have lost interest in marriage, or that marriage itself is slowly fading away. The reality is much more interesting. Marriage is not disappearing—it is evolving. People are marrying later, expecting different things from marriage than previous generations did, and redefining what a successful marriage looks like. At the same time, marriage remains one of the most important relationships in people's lives. So what is changing, what isn't, and what does the future of marriage look like? For some answers we turn to Stephanie Coontz, Director of Research and Public Education for the Council on Contemporary Families and author of For Better and Worse: The Complicated Past and Challenging Future of Marriage (https://amzn.to/440TQpK). We've all seen people who seem to possess an extraordinary level of confidence. Elite athletes, military leaders, top executives, first responders—people who perform under enormous pressure yet appear calm, focused, and absolutely certain they can handle whatever comes next. According to Dr. Nate Zinsser, the kind of confidence is a skill that can be deliberately built, strengthened, and maintained. Drawing on decades of experience training soldiers, athletes, executives, and emergency personnel, Dr. Zinsser explains where genuine confidence comes from, and how anyone can develop the mental habits that lead to stronger performance under pressure. Dr. Zinsser is Director of the Performance Psychology Program at West Point and author of The Confident Mind: A Battle-Tested Guide to Unshakable Performance (https://amzn.to/4xAOwqS) Most dog owners believe a hug is a universal sign of affection. Your dog may not agree. While dogs are often expressive about their emotions, humans frequently misread what those emotions mean. Understanding how dogs communicate—and how they interpret our behavior—can help prevent misunderstandings that sometimes lead to stress, anxiety, or even aggression.
