Podcasts about couples

In Season 4, Episode 8 of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches sit down for a real, no fluff relationship and life advice Q and A, reading listener emails and responding with direct coaching, hard truths, and practical next moves. Recorded on New Year's Eve, this episode is built for men and women who want stronger marriages, better communication, and more personal accountability, without the sugar coating.You'll hear them tackle a painful co parenting situation with an absent father and addiction, including how to set boundaries that protect kids emotionally, and what court and custody decisions really do and do not fix. They also dig into a workplace crush and whether to make a move, intimacy issues tied to body insecurity and weight gain after kids, starting a business when fear of failure is loud, and a marriage crisis involving an emotional affair, porn addiction, and accountability, plus a boundary conversation about “playful” touching that crosses the line.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

The pressure cooker explodes in Married At First Sight Australia Season 13 Episodes 9–12.This week we break down:• The first full Commitment Ceremony fallout• Dinner party tensions escalating• Attraction score consequences• Couples beginning to emotionally check out• New alliances forming• And the red flag behaviour becoming impossible to ignoreFrom passive-aggressive digs to public humiliations and expert grilling on the couch, Episodes 9–12 mark the shift from honeymoon optimism to real compatibility testing.We analyse:

"[A couple state of mind] is the capacity to be subjectively involved with both individuals, but then importantly, to be able to step back, find a third position, and try to understand what the couple are creating together. Although it's kind of obvious in a way, because surely, that's what a couple therapist is doing, they're trying to understand the couple relationship. It can have quite a powerful effect on the couple coming for help, because very often they're coming with a different state of mind. They're coming with a state of mind where the other one is felt to be the problem. Quite often, one partner feels brought by the other for treatment, and it's very much a kind of two-person interaction - 'You know, if you weren't this way or if you did this for me, then I would be happy'. What perhaps the couples don't  have is the capacity themselves to step back and observe what they're creating together - that's the couple state of mind. The couple state of mind is initially in the therapist. It's the couple therapist's analytic stance, if you like. But what I'm suggesting is that over time, this gets identified with and internalized by the couple into their relationship."    Episode Description: We begin by describing the nature of the 'couple state of mind' as it exists in the mind of the therapist and as it grows in the couple allowing them to reflect on their 'coupleness'. We consider the similarities and differences between this and the familiar analytic self-reflective capacities that develop in intensive individual treatment. Mary presents clinical examples of her countertransference inclinations that are evoked in working with those who are initially 'likable' or 'unpleasant', i.e., "I can't understand why they're together" and how that evolves into a deeper understanding of the nature of their 'togetherness'. She discusses fixed unconscious fantasies and projective identifications that are both defensive and creative. We also discuss how "curiosity is the opposite of narcissism" and how that vital ability lives in the therapist and in the couple. We close with recognizing that the couple's capacity for their own 'couple state of mind' is an indication of readiness for termination.   Our Guest: Mary Morgan, is a Psychoanalyst, Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, and a writer.

Is your marriage running on the wrong fuel?In Part 2 of ☎️ Let's Talk..., Pastor Josh breaks down one of the biggest myths in relationships: that couples "fall out of love." The truth? You don't fall out of love. You run out of fuel.Using 1 Corinthians 13 and the Greek words for love, this message reveals why feelings alone can never sustain a marriage and what it looks like to build your relationship on agape, the unconditional, covenant love that never fails.You'll discover the three warning signs that a marriage is running on the wrong fuel (disappointment, decay, and disconnection), why your spouse is your partner, not your provider, and how to change your source so you can love your spouse all the way to the finish line.Whether you're newlywed or have been married for decades, this message will challenge you, encourage you, and give you practical steps to fuel your marriage with something that won't run out.

In this episode of 2 Be Better, Chris and Peaches break down what self validation actually means, why your own voice matters, and how chasing approval keeps you stuck in reaction mode, people pleasing, and shaky confidence. You'll hear a straight talk walkthrough of the emotional fallout that comes from ignoring your inner compass, over apologizing, decision paralysis, self betrayal, and losing your sense of identity, plus how external validation and social media “likes” can quietly hijack your self worth and choices. You can expect practical, repeatable tools for building self validation and self care into daily life, pausing before you look outward, naming feelings without shame, rewriting harsh inner talk, celebrating effort, and creating simple rituals like journaling prompts, mirror work, anchoring phrases, micro breaks, breathwork, meditation, sound baths, and boundary choices that help your nervous system feel safe. If you're working through codependency, anxiety, guilt, burnout, or relationship patterns that make you abandon yourself to keep the peace, this conversation gives you language, examples, and a clear path to reclaim agency, hold your no, and live with more clarity in your marriage, family, and life.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

It's Thursday, February 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British preacher challenges buffer zones around abortion mills A preacher in Britain is challenging the country's abortion buffer zones which effectively censor the Bible. Officials arrested, charged, and convicted Stephen Green for holding a sign with a Bible verse near an abortion mill in 2023. The verse was Psalm 139:13 which says, “For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Green stated, “As a Christian, I should be able to preach freely all over the land. Psalm 139 is about how we all belong to God from conception. Buffer zones and this conviction [are] a direct attack on the Bible and free speech.” Elon Musk endorsed new conservative political party in England Billionaire Elon Musk endorsed a new conservative political party in Britain last week. On Friday, Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe launched the Restore Britain Party. Musk shared the launch video on X which has received nearly 40 million views.  The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and the creeping Islamification of Britain. Rupert Lowe also stated the party will openly recognize the country's Christian heritage.  Listen. LOWE: “Restore Britain will openly recognize the Christian heritage that shaped this country's moral and civic foundation. (applause) Duty, restraint, forgiveness and, most importantly, fairness. These values created a high trust society. “Restore Britain will end the creeping Islamification of Britain. (applause)  Unfettered immigration from Islamic countries will end. (applause) Britain is a Christian country, and under Restore Britain government, it will remain a Christian country.” (applause) Church of England votes against blessing homosexual couples Last week, the Church of England  voted against proposals to allow blessing services for homosexual couples. The General Synod did not shut the door on the issue though, voting to investigate it in the future.  The move keeps the church from performing marriage services and blessing services for people living in unnatural relations. However, the Church of England's rules already allow blessing prayers within regular Sunday services for such couples.  Proverbs 25:26 says, “Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.” Franklin Graham preached in world's southernmost city Evangelist Franklin Graham  preached in Ushuaia, Argentina. It's known as the southernmost city in the world. Listen. GRAHAM: “What makes Ushuaia so special are the people. We love the people. If you can't remember anything else tonight, remember this: God loves you. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take our sins. We deserve death. We're guilty of sin. “Bartimaeus had no hope. There are many of you here tonight. You have no hope. Now, Bartimaeus cried at the right time. Jesus was passing by. The Bible says that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but he should have everlasting life.' “Will you invite Christ into your heart? Will you trust Him? Come. Come to Jesus.” Hundreds of people turned to Christ through the evangelistic outreach event. Graham wrote on X, “We give God the glory for each one who responded to the invitation to repent of their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.” Eighty-two percent of South Americans identify as Roman Catholic, but evangelicalism has been growing in recent decades.    Graham also plans to visit Peru next month. 21 states challenge mail-order abortion kill pills In the United States, 21 states and 60 members of Congress are challenging mail-order abortion drugs. Louisiana initiated the case, challenging a Biden-era rule from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The rule removed the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion drug mifepristone.  Erik Baptist with Alliance Defending Freedom stated, “The Biden FDA's unlawful authorization of mail-order abortion drugs was meant to be a loophole around states that choose to protect life.” 41-year-old mother Olympic bobsledder wins gold (audio Olympic theme song) American Olympic bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor  won her first gold medal on Monday. The 41-year-old mother triumphed in the women's monobob event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.  She is now the oldest gold medalist in an individual Olympic event. After the victory, she said this on Instagram: “The moment we prayed for. Glory to God.” Norway has won the most gold medals Nearly 2,900 athletes from over 90 countries are competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics.  So far, Norway has won the most gold medals and the most medals overall. In the medal count, Norway is followed by Italy and the U.S. A podium finish can mean big prize money for athletes. A gold medalist from the U.S. can win $38,000. Athletes from Singapore can make the most for winning an individual event at $792,000.   Christian missionaries sharing Christ & Bibles in Olympic crowds And finally, Evangelicals are sharing the Gospel at the Winter Olympic Games this year. Hundreds of Southern Baptists alongside International Mission Board missionaries are joining the crowds to share Christ and distribute Bibles. Karen Herfurth is in Italy with a group from Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama. She said, “This is a chance for Southern Baptists to reach more people and impact more lives! We may never know the difference this makes until we are in Heaven.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

In this episode, Kim Olver continues her conversation about couples by exploring the quiet ways we unintentionally hurt our relationships — and what we can do to repair and strengthen connection.Most relationships don't fall apart because of dramatic betrayals. They erode in subtle ways: defensiveness instead of empathy, withholding small acts of kindness, quiet scorekeeping, control disguised as concern, and unspoken unmet needs. Over time, these small moments create emotional distance — inch by inch.Drawing from decades of counseling experience and the principles behind Choice Theory, Kim unpacks:Why explaining can feel like dismissingHow small daily kindnesses protect intimacyThe hidden fear beneath controlHow keeping score damages emotional safetyWhy naming your needs builds connection instead of criticismIf you've ever thought, “We don't fight — we just feel distant,” this episode will help you understand why distance happens and how to close it.If you'd like to explore these ideas more deeply, Kim's book Secrets of Happy Couples: Loving Yourself, Your Partner, and Your Life is currently available while remaining copies last. Originally published in 2011, this edition reflects the language norms of its time. A thoughtfully revised edition is planned for the future. You can learn more or order a copy here.Because love rarely collapses from one catastrophic event — it fades through small, unaddressed moments. And it rebuilds the same way.

Couples rarely fall apart overnight. They drift—moving from walking together to walking parallel. Distance is formed in small moments of turning away.In this episode, we explore how to break cycles of self-protection, renew our minds, and build emotional safety by choosing connection over control and presence over performance.The question isn't what the trail brings. It's how we walk it—together.

Should you stay in touch with an ex, or is that automatically disrespectful? Does your new partner get a say in whether you keep that connection?

What does Valentine's Day have to do with autoimmunity?In this episode, Denise and Alastair begin with stories of love in homeopathy — from Hahnemann's marriages to the many professional partnerships that have shaped the field — and move into a deeper discussion about chronic disease and clinical responsibility.Using autoimmune cases as a lens, they explore:What it means to “know what needs to be cured”Why not every remedy acts on the same depthThe difference between acute intervention and long-term chronic managementWhen to prescribe — and when doing nothing is the right decisionThe risks of superficial training and casual prescribingThey also reflect on the evolution of homeopathic education, accreditation, and why serious clinical training matters.At its heart, this episode is about loving homeopathy enough to practice it safely.Strange, Rare & Peculiar is a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.This season, we're focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today. From Hahnemann's original insights to the realities of modern practice, research, and education, Denise and Alastair bring over 50 years of experience to conversations that challenge assumptions and invite curiosity.

Welcome back to another episode of The Writing Community Chat Show, recently ranked number 3 in the top 10 writing podcasts in the UK for 2025. In this special “eve of Valentine's Day” edition, hosts Chris and the team dive into the messy, complicated, and wonderful world of intimacy with the internationally recognized sexologist and best-selling author, Dr. Trina Read. Trina Read With over 25 years of experience helping people navigate the world of pleasure, Dr. Read joined us to talk about her journey from a syndicated sex columnist to a pioneer of the “self-help fiction” genre. Her latest novel, The Taboo Show, is set to challenge perceptions and make us laugh while rethinking what we know about pleasure.Trina answers the questions we want to know. How much sex in a relationship is normal? What should couples do after 10 years of marriage, and much more. Plus, listen to CJ reading Chris Hooley some ai generated suggested sext texts. From Non-Fiction to “Self-Help Fiction”Dr. Read's transition into fiction was born from a desire to reach women who might find traditional non-fiction a “slog”. After the success of her bestseller Till Sex Do Us Part, she developed a five-step program that she eventually wove into the lives of four fictional characters in The Sex Course.Her new book, The Taboo Show, continues the journey of these four women as they explore the “Taboo Sex Show”—a trade show experience Dr. Read knows well from her years as a mainstage speaker. From tantric skepticism to “Wiccan sex magic,” the story uses relatable characters to demystify complex topics.Expert Advice for Writers and Couples.One of the most enlightening parts of the episode was Dr. Read's advice on the craft of writing intimacy. She admits that writing sex scenes is “incredibly difficult” and requires a delicate balance. Her top tip? Edit out the “darlings.” To keep fiction engaging, she often removes up to 80% of the educational content to focus on the character's emotional reaction rather than the instruction itself.Advice for couples at every stage:* New Couples: Slow down and enjoy the courtship; don't rush the buildup.* The 6-Month Mark: This is when bad habits form. Start having conversations now before the “newness” wears off.* The 10-Year Veterans: Focus on “erotic threads” outside the bedroom—small acts of kindness and desire throughout the day to help bridge the “delayed sexual response”.Demystifying the “Taboo.”Dr. Read also breaks down the common misconceptions around Tantra, describing it simply as an exchange of energy and a way to build pleasure through connection. She encourages couples to lean into the awkwardness of talking about sex, noting that most people can share their bodies for decades but still struggle to share their words.Final Thoughts & Pre-Order Info.Whether you're looking to spice up your Valentine's weekend or looking for tips on writing authentic, “classy” intimacy in your next novel, this episode is a must-watch.Dr. Trina Read's new novel, The Taboo Show, is available for pre-order now and officially launches on February 28th.

If you're trying to improve marriage and it feels like you're doing it alone, this is for you. When your spouse is checked out and every “we need to talk” goes nowhere, it's exhausting. Maybe you've asked for date nights. You've suggested couples therapy. You've tried to discuss communication problems and you're met with “I don't know,” “No,” or silence. In this episode, we're talking about why that happens… and what actually helps. Feeling lonely in your marriage can make you question everything. You may be wondering what to do when you're the only one trying in a relationship, or whether your partner is emotionally checked out for good. It's easy to assume that if your spouse refuses couples counseling, there's nothing left to work with. But relationships are systems. When one part changes, the system shifts. I'm joined by Dr. Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D., author, pastoral counselor, life coach, and creator of the Save the Marriage program. With more than 30 years of experience helping couples in crisis, Lee specializes in situations where one partner is resistant or disengaged. Together, we unpack the pursue-withdraw cycle, why chasing your partner often backfires, and how small, invitational shifts can begin rebuilding connection. We also talk about the myth that “it takes two to tango,” the three levels of connection in marriage, and how to approach a partner who seems emotionally unavailable without escalating pressure. And we explore the harder question: when do you stop trying? How do you know you've done what you're willing to do?

Clarity doesn't come from another argument. It comes from one grounded conversation with someone who understands relationship systems and can help you sort through what's possible and what your next step needs to be. If that would feel helpful, I'd love to invite you to schedule a free consultation with me or someone on my team at Growing Self. You'll answer three quick questions so we can help you find the right support for you. It's private, secure, and only takes a couple of minutes. Let's find the right support for you—whether that means couples counseling, discernment work, or individual coaching to help you stop chasing and start feeling steady again. You deserve clarity.

If you've ever looked at your partner in the parenting trenches and thought, “Wait… who are you—and what happened to us?” this episode is for you. Dr. John sits down with Eli Weinstein—therapist, no-BS truth-teller, and author of From I Do to We Do (out March 2026)—to unpack why couples drift after kids… and how to rebuild the “we” without buraning the whole house down. You'll hear the real stuff:  why new dads can love their kids but not always like them (and why that doesn't make you a monster),  how men get trapped between “be strong” and “be emotional,”  and what happens when a partner asks for feelings… then punishes vulnerability.  John and Eli also dig into the heavy reality therapists carry—especially with suicidal clients—and the skill of caring deeply without being crushed by it. The practical gold is Eli's “holy trinity” for relationship peace: expectations, perceptions, and reality—plus a simple daily check-in that prevents 90% of avoidable fights (Listen to discover this cheat code!). Add in “assume positive intent,” “treasure hunt” for what your partner does right, and a mindset shift toward rewarding effort over outcome—and you've got a blueprint for staying connected when life is chaos. Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control?
