What if some of the marriage advice you've always believed is actually hurting your relationship? In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy reveal the most common marriage advice they were given (or that they have heard) before and after getting married, advice that sounded wise, was widely accepted, and was often shared with the best intentions, but ultimately did more harm than good.From popular relationship clichés to long-held beliefs about what makes a marriage successful, they unpack the advice they discovered was actually creating frustration, misunderstanding, and disconnection instead of strengthening their relationship.You may be surprised by how many of these marriage "rules" you've heard, or even followed yourself. Tune in and see if you agree with their list! We would also love to hear anything you have heard and include them in a future episode.

What it takes to lead as a communicator and communicate as a leader.Leadership isn't just about making decisions — it's about how you communicate them. As Matt Abrahams puts it, “Communication is operationalized leadership.”At a recent Me2We event, in connection with Stanford GSB's Executive Education LEAD program, Abrahams held a live discussion with four of the podcast's most popular guests: Celine Teoh, facilitator of the GSB's famous Interpersonal Dynamics course; Huggy Rao, organizational behavior professor and co-author of The Friction Project; legendary Stanford basketball coach Tara VanDerveer; and Dave Dodson, lecturer and author of The Manager's Handbook.In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, the panel shares frameworks and lessons for leading and communicating more effectively. From Teoh's five A's for inviting dissent to Rao's warning against “jargon monoxide,” from VanDerveer's relationship-first approach to Dodson's case for leading like a teacher, this conversation explores what it takes to communicate as a leader — and lead as a communicator.Episode Reference Links:Celine TeohTara VanDerveerHuggy RaoHuggy's Book: The Friction ProjectDavid DodsonDavid's Book: The Manager's HandbookEp.194 Live Lessons in Levity and Leadership: Me2We 2025 Part 1 Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (04:18) - Encouraging Dissent (06:40) - The Addition Bias (09:57) - Coaching Through Encouragement (12:12) - Leadership in the AI Era (16:24) - Teaching vs. Managing (17:46) - Making People Feel Appreciated (19:06) - Slowing Down Decisions (21:24) - Listening More (24:24) - Avoiding Jargon (26:31) - Giving Better Feedback (28:53) - Preparing for Communication (29:44) - Using Communication Frameworks (31:15) - Skills for Future Leaders (37:47) - Conclusion

Every conflict in your marriage gives you a choice: will you use it to deepen your connection and grow closer, or will you let it drive you further into resentment and disconnection? In this episode, we explore why genuine apologies are one of the most important repair tools in marriage. You'll learn the science behind why apologies work, what happens when we refuse them or give fake ones, the negative feedback loop that can trap couples in disconnection, and a practical four-step apology process you can start using immediately.We discuss John Gottman's research on repair, the difference between Masters and Disasters of relationships, Terry Real's losing strategies, and how small, sincere repairs can build a rich “culture of repair” in your marriage.Key Resources & Studies Mentioned:Apologies in Close Relationships: A Review of Theory and Research (2015) by Jarrett T.

The LSE Middle East Centre hosted the launch of Richard Barltrop's paper, 'Sudan's Current War: A Longer View on Peacemaking and Prospects'. This hybrid event launched a new paper examining the ongoing war in Sudan, which broke out in 2023. Drawing on lessons from the history of peacemaking in Sudan and comparative insights from other civil wars, the paper reflects on pathways toward ending the conflict, including the urgency of de-escalation, the need for sustained, long-term peacebuilding efforts, and the importance of Sudanese leadership and ownership in shaping a durable peace process. Richard will be joined by discussants Raga Makawi and Abdel Salam Sidahmad, and the event will be chaired by LSE's Laura Mann. Meet our speakers Richard Barltrop is a Visiting Senior Fellow at the LSE Middle East Centre researching contemporary approaches to peacemaking and peace processes.

Dr. Sidahmed brings over two decades of international human rights experience, including nine years with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, where he served as Regional Representative for the Middle East (2013–2021). Prior to that, he spent ten years at Amnesty International (1995–2005) as a Researcher and later Program Director for the Middle East and North Africa. In academia, he served as Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada (2005–2011).

Donna Hicks spent three decades at the world's hardest conflict tables and found one hidden injury beneath them all: a violation of human dignity. From the Middle East to Northern Ireland, she watched negotiations stall not over policy, but over something no one in the room had named. This episode is the word that changed everything, and the model she built around it.Dr Donna Hicks, author of Leading with Dignity and Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, spent her career as a third party in unofficial diplomacy across the Middle East, Sri Lanka, Colombia and Northern Ireland. She co-facilitated the BBC series Facing the Truth alongside Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and her earlier book, Dignity, reshaped how the world understands conflict, connection and leadership. This one runs close to home for me. As a young boy from a Pied-Noir family — French people of European origin who had left Algeria after its independence — newly arrived in Nice, I was once told by a schoolmate to “get out of here.” I came home devastated. My father's answer, that I should be proud of where I came from and that I had something real to give, was dignity restored long before either of us had a word for it.In our conversation, we explore: → Why respect is earned but dignity is not, and how leaders who confuse the two quietly damage their teams → The ten elements of dignity, and the single one that 80% of employees say is violated most at work → What happened when the BBC sat victims and perpetrators face to face, and why healing did not require forgiveness → Why Donna now teaches dignity to eight-year-olds, and her advice to young leaders entering a harder world → Mandela consciousness: the three connections that rebuild dignity in any team, family or boardroom"I don't believe we need to find common ground. I believe we need to find higher ground." - Dr Donna Hicks, Harvard UniversityIf you have ever watched a meeting derail over something that was never really about the agenda, this conversation hands you the missing word, and a practical model for what to do next.

How Resentment Quietly Builds In this episode of The Liberated Life Podcast, Robin Keehn opens a new conversation about what happens underneath our relationships — especially when something needed to be said, but wasn't. Resentment does not usually arrive all at once. It accumulates. A tone. A look. A changed plan. A moment of being overlooked. A “yes” that should have been a “no.” None of these may seem dramatic on its own, but together they begin to form a story. Robin shares how resentment often grows in the space between what happened and what was never spoken. She introduces the idea of an Open Loop — something unfinished, incomplete, or outdated that continues draining your time, energy, and peace — and an Unspoken Broken, a relational loop that stays open because it was never named. You'll hear why resentment is not always proof that the other person is bad. Sometimes it is a signal that something remains unfinished. In this episode, Robin talks about:  How resentment quietly accumulates over time Why small moments can carry a surprising amount of weight The difference between truly releasing something and simply not bringing it up How “always” and “never” stories begin to form in relationships Why unspoken moments become Open Loops What an Unspoken Broken is and why it matters How to begin with “Here's what I've noticed” instead of an accusation The two questions to ask before having a hard conversation: Why am I sharing this?What do I actually want here? Why closing one loop can begin to restore your time, energy, and peace “Resentment is interest on a debt nobody named.” Where have you gone quiet — and what has that silence been costing you? Want a place to start? Download Robin's free tool, Close One Loop, and walk through one open loop from start to finish in just a few minutes. Go to: closetheloopsnow.com/tool You'll also be the first to hear about Robin's upcoming five-day challenge at the end of June.

From emotional connection and communication to support, intimacy, and strengthening your relationship, this episode is filled with insights that can transform your marriage.If you want a deeper connection, a happier relationship, and practical ways to strengthen your marriage, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

It can feel easy to tote up the costs of having a difficult conversation about something important. It can seem overwhelming. It's tempting to decide that we should just live with the status quo. We should add up the costs of doing nothing.  And then compare the costs.  Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

When those expectations go unspoken or unmet, disappointment, frustration, and resentment can quietly creep into the relationship, creating distance between couples who deeply love each other.In this episode of The Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy dive into the realistic vs. unrealistic expectations couples bring into marriage, from communication and intimacy to roles, romance, and emotional connection. They share practical ways to uncover hidden expectations, communicate openly, and get on the same page so you can build a stronger, happier, and more connected marriage.If you've ever felt let down in your relationship or wondered why your spouse “just doesn't get it,” this episode will give you powerful insights to help transform your marriage.

How do you and your spouse handle conflict? Greg and Erin share insights from Dave and Ann Wilson today. They discuss common conflict styles (e.g., yielding, defending, resolving) and emphasize that conflict is often driven by deeper emotions and desires, requiring an open heart, slowing down, listening, and sometimes choosing to “solve or sleep” when exhausted. In the Q&A, they advise a listener to describe behaviors without labeling, using “I feel” statements. It's like a free counseling session when you listen to Crazy Little Thing Called Marriage!

May 17, 2026 - Kyle Rye - Conflict Resolution by Buford Church of Christ

Pastor Bear Morton | 2 Corinthians 6:11-13; 7:2-4

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday, an episode of Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones explores what's really happening underneath those emotionally charged moments when your child says things like, “This is all your fault.”Rather than seeing these exchanges as signs of failure or disrespect, Melissa helps parents understand how big emotions often reveal a child's unmet needs, overwhelm, or struggle to communicate what they're truly feeling. She shares how easy it is to react defensively in the moment—and why learning to pause before responding can completely shift the direction of the conversation.With compassion and practical insight, Melissa encourages parents to meet frustration with calm presence instead of immediate correction. By approaching difficult moments with curiosity rather than control, parents can create more emotional safety, deeper connection, and fewer power struggles over time.Tune in to discover: Why your child's hurtful words are often more about emotion than blame  How pausing before reacting can change the entire tone of an interaction  What calm presence communicates to a dysregulated child  Why curiosity creates more connection than defensiveness  How challenging moments can become opportunities for growth and understanding  Practical ways to respond to big feelings with empathy and confidence This episode is a reminder that conflict doesn't have to create distance. Even the hardest parenting moments can become opportunities to strengthen trust, deepen connection, and better understand what your child truly needs.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

The spaces we spend time in either stress or calm us. Or maybe they feel fully neutral. Our day-to-day setpoint in the environment where we live our lives sets us up for conflict prevention and resolution “readiness”.  We can easily overlook the environment we are in precisely because we live in it.  Taking a moment to step back and really think about the spaces we inhabit can help reduce stress and encourage a sense of calm. When we do that, we are helping ourselves to be better equipped to avoid unnecessary conflicts and to more easily handle those that appear. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Welcome back to Raising Confident Girls. In this episode, Melissa Jones explores one of the most emotionally charged moments in parenting—when your daughter blames you for something that didn't go the way she hoped.In those moments, it's natural to want to explain, correct, or defend yourself. But Melissa encourages parents to look beyond the words and respond to the feelings underneath them instead. When a daughter feels disappointed, hurt, or frustrated, blame is often less about the actual situation and more about the emotions she's struggling to process.This episode offers a compassionate reminder that empathy can calm tension far more effectively than defensiveness. By acknowledging your daughter's emotions first, you create safety, reduce escalation, and make space for a more meaningful conversation later on.In this episode, we explore: Why your daughter's blame is often rooted in emotion, not logic  How responding with empathy can prevent power struggles  The importance of separating feelings from the actual situation  Why defending yourself too quickly can shut down connection  How validating emotions helps your daughter feel seen and understood  Ways to approach difficult conversations with calm and compassion Join Melissa for a thoughtful conversation about staying grounded in emotionally charged moments—and how leading with empathy can strengthen trust, connection, and resilience in your relationship with your daughter.Download the Quick Tips PDF of today's episode for future reference.If you know a parent who could benefit from this conversation, share this episode with them!

Send us Fan MailWhat should parents do when a child's friend starts making unhealthy choices? When kids open up about what their friends are watching, saying, or experimenting with, many parents instinctively want to immediately end the friendship. But reacting too quickly can shut down communication and teach a harsh kind of “cutoff culture” instead of wisdom, discernment, and healthy boundaries. In this episode, we share five practical ways to help kids navigate risky friendships with both love and truth. We talk about how to respond when friends introduce inappropriate language, pornography, vaping, hookup culture, and other unhealthy influences—and how to help your child process those situations without fear-based parenting. You'll also learn: Why there is no perfect friend  How to avoid “level four” reactions to “level one” problems  Biblical conflict resolution from Matthew 18  The difference between inner-circle and outer-circle friends  One-way vs. two-way friendships  How your own friendships model relationship habits for your kids  This episode will give parents practical language and biblical tools to help kids build healthy relationships, set wise boundaries, and navigate friendships in today's culture. RESOURCESTeach Red Flag Reporting - nextTalk Develop Moral Compass and Default to Love - nextTalk Look in the Mirror - nextTalk Build a Safe Place - nextTalk Adopt a No-Secrets Family Policy - nextTalk Your family is the most important team you will ever lead. - nextTalk Parenting Advice with Pastor Robert Emmitt - nextTalk A kid is confiding in me.

Early in our marriage, communication was one of our biggest struggles, and honestly, it nearly led to divorce. We misunderstood each other, handled conflict poorly, and spent too much time reacting instead of truly listening.Everything began to change when we learned how to communicate in a healthier way… but even more importantly, when we started genuinely hearing each other's feelings, needs, and perspectives.That transformation didn't just improve our communication, it completely changed our marriage, intimacy, connection, and friendship.In this episode of The Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we're sharing the communication tools that made the biggest difference in our relationship and the skills we believe EVERY marriage needs. Plus, Nick shares a very recent personal experience that brought these lessons into real life in a powerful way.If you've ever felt misunderstood, disconnected, frustrated, or stuck in the same arguments over and over, this episode is for you.

In life, we become what we consistently consume. The content we take in whether from social media, movies, music, or TV gradually shapes the way we think, feel, and interpret the world around us.For example, if someone regularly scrolls through social media filled with posts promoting distrust in relationships or extreme views about the opposite sex, it can slowly influence how we perceive our own spouse even our their real-life relationship is healthy and strong.In the same way, if a person repeatedly consumes content that objectifies others, it can distort how they view relationships and intimacy, potentially impacting how they treat their spouse.The bottom line is simple: what we consume influences who we become or how we view our spouse and marriage. That's why it's important to be intentional about the media we allow into our minds.This idea is also supported by research. A study published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology found that individuals who spend more than 30 minutes a day on social media report higher levels of depression and anxiety.In this episode, Nick and Amy discuss the importance of being mindful about what we consume, and how choosing healthier, more positive influences can lead to a more fulfilling life and stronger relationships, whether in marriage or in preparation for one.

One of the biggest perks of having a large audience is that we hear everything—and we mean everything. Every day, we get flooded with messages from couples sharing what's really going on behind closed doors.And one theme shows up again and again:Wives expressing why they're not interested in sex… and husbands feeling confused, rejected, and frustrated by the lack of intimacy in their marriage.So in this powerful episode, Nick and Amy sit down with special guest Austin, a certified sex therapist, to unpack one of the most requested topics we've ever received:The 7 real reasons wives often lose interest in sex within marriage.This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and packed with insight that could change the way you see intimacy in your relationship.If you're in a marriage where sexual connection feels strained, distant, or just not where you want it to be—or if you're a wife wondering why your desire has faded—this episode is for you.

We've been encouraged to embrace active listening. Sure. But we need to be genuine, not engaging in actions or behaviors that aren't ours.  It's not helpful to adopt gestures that we have been told to use, yet feel foreign to us.        Not only do you run the risk that I will see through your acting, but some of your focus will be devoted to the acting – not to the actual listening.        What should we do?        Of course, look at someone when they are speaking, but don't stare them down.         Of course, listen – with patience. With the right level of eagerness.         Yes, nod your head when you are understanding the point someone is making.  (Which is not necessarily the same as agreeing.) But don't fake it. Faking positive body language is similar to faking an apology. Neither is a good idea.   

In this special episode of The History-Politics Podcast, we share a recording of LCHP's recent event, “Borders in Times of Instability: A Cross-Disciplinary Conversation with Luwei Ying and Hiroshi Motomura.” This conversation is a continuation of our previous episode where political scientist Luwei Ying drew upon her work as an LCHP grantee to discuss her co-authored paper "Historical Border Insecurity and the Rise of Populism." In this event, David Myers welcomes legal scholar Hiroshi Motomura to join Luwei and explore the complex role of borders in shaping politics, conflict, and belonging. Ying explains how historical border instability, especially in regions like Alsace and Eastern Europe, have had long-term effects on the populations of these regions, including decreased trust in the government and greater support for populism. She also examines modern border fortifications, showing that while walls may reduce nearby cross-border violence, their overall effectiveness is mixed, as militant groups often adapt their strategies. Motomura expands the discussion by reframing borders as more than physical lines, emphasizing their legal and social functions in defining inclusion and exclusion. Hiroshi Motomura is the Susan Westerberg Prager Distinguished Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law and the Faculty Co-Director of the UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy. He is a scholar of citizenship and immigration, influencing across a range of academic disciplines as well as federal, states, and local policy making. He has written multiple award-winning books including Americans in Waiting: The Lost Story of Immigration and Citizenship in the United States (Oxford 2006) and Borders and Belonging: Toward a Fair Immigration Policy (Oxford 2025). He is also the co-host of the podcast series: Unsettled: Immigration in Turbulent Times. For his collaboration on an overview of U.S. immigration law, see The Try Guys Try Immigrating to America.Luwei Ying is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles. She received her Ph.D. in political science at Washington University in St. Louis in 2022. She received the 2022 Peace Science Society Walter Isard Award for the best dissertation in Peace Science. Her work has been awarded the Best Paper in International Relations Award, the Pi Sigma Alpha Award for the best paper presented at the 2019 MPSA Conference, and the Best Poster Award at the PolMeth XXXVII Summer Meeting. Her published work has appeared in American Political Science Review, Political Analysis and the Journal of Conflict Resolution.

In this powerful episode, Nick and Amy dive into a bold and insightful quote they read."By God's good design, a man's sex drive is strong. If it is harnessed and intensified within marriage, it can be an incredible force fastening a man's affections and passions to his wife. I believe that it is right and godly to claim your husband's sexual desire as a potent source of influence in your marriage. This power was intended for you and for no one else. Unfortunately, if you don't claim it, someone or something else will."Nick and Amy unpack the deep truth behind these words, not only about sexual desire but also about the emotional intimacy in marriage as well. They explore how neglecting to intentionally claim your spouse's affection, emotionally and physically, leaves your marriage vulnerable to distractions, temptations, or outside influences.If you want to strengthen your marriage and guard the precious bond between you and your spouse, this episode is a must-listen.Tune in now and discover how to claim what's yours to protect, cherish, and celebrate your spouse like never before.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

If you can make conversation, you can make your own luck.Good communication isn't passive. And good luck, says Tina Seelig, is the same. There's “what the world gives us,” and then there's “how we respond to it.”Seelig is executive director of the Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program at Stanford University and author of What I Wish I Knew About Luck. For her, good fortune doesn't find us, we find it. “Opportunities for lucky things to happen are ubiquitous. But they're invisible and most people don't see them,” she says. In the same way that communication requires active listening, making our own luck requires presence to the people and possibilities that come our way.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Seelig and host Matt Abrahams explore how communication creates luck. From curious listening to resolving the conflicts that block opportunity, Seelig offers practical ways to respond to what life offers — and turn everyday interactions into the foundation for good fortune.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Tina SeeligTina's Book: What I Wish I Knew About LuckEp.111 Rethinks: How to Spark Creativity in Your CommunicationEp.159 Earn Your Audience: You Can't Lead If No One's Listening Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:46) - Luck vs. Fortune (03:55) - The Idea of Making Luck (04:40) - Building Your Luck Framework (05:49) - Listening Creates Opportunity (06:56) - Focus on Others (09:57) - Staying Connected to Others (11:09) - Appreciation as a Habit (12:04) - How Conflict Blocks Luck (13:35) - Apologies Create Opportunity (14:33) - Ask, Don't Assume (16:26) - Communicating for Your Audience (18:13) - Prepare Your Stories (21:46) - The Final Three Questions (26:16) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Ep 199: Conflict Resolution explores how architects manage tension, stay useful under pressure, and move hard conversations toward better outcomes.

Have you ever wondered if your partner is gaslighting you? You're not alone. Many people wonder this, especially during conflicts. In this new episode on the Dr. Wyatt Marriage Podcast I unpack what gaslighting is, when it's occurring, and when it's not occurring. You definitely want to listen to the end so you become more informed on this hot topic.

Feel like you and your partner are ships passing in the night lately? Or keeping a quiet mental scorecard over things like laundry and garbage duty? Maintaining a strong relationship while raising kids isn't easy—and it's one of the biggest challenges couples face. So if you've ever felt the strain of growing responsibilities, misaligned priorities, or resentments creeping in, you're not alone.  In this episode, we're joined by Eli Weinstein—licensed clinical social worker, host of The Dude Therapist Podcast, and author of From I Do to We Do. As a father of two (with a third on the way), Eli offers thoughtful, actionable insights on staying connected, communicating effectively, and navigating the evolving dynamics of partnership during the parenting years. Conversation topics include: • Navigating the shifting dynamics of marriage after becoming parents, and how priorities naturally change • The inevitability of resentment in relationships when needs go unspoken and the importance of open, direct communication • Creating team unity with your partner—adopting an “us versus the chaos” mindset instead of “me versus you” • Tangible tools couples can use to defuse tension and process conflict • Letting go of the past and choosing, together, how to write the next chapter of your relationship story • Recognizing the necessity of self-care in order to better support your partner and family • And more!

Ian Leslie joins James Smith to unpack the uncomfortable truth about honesty: we can't actually handle it. A bestselling author and host of the Where Shall We Meet podcast, Ian argues that lying isn't a bug in human nature but an evolutionary feature — the very thing responsible for our big brains, our creativity, and our capacity for art.

This solo episode is going to explore a fear that many of us carry inside our intimate relationships but rarely say out loud: the fear of settling. What is it? Where does it come from? And most importantly, what does it cost us? Dr. Alexandra will offer you a reframe that is both clarifying and hopeful. We are going to reimagine what acceptance actually means – not as a passive giving-up, but as one of the most powerful and underrated tools available to us in love.  In this episode, you will hear about: The cost of comparison and how to shift from external comparison to internal reflection. How the word “settling” is working against you. What Acceptance is and is not, and how to determine whether you are acting in the spirit of acceptance or resignation. How to tend to the grief that is often built into Acceptance. Grab a pen and paper! Dr. Alexandra has included a writing exercise in this episode, designed to guide you towards acceptance - both of yourself and your partner.
