Couples often find themselves in arguments that seem to go nowhere, but understanding each other's styles and showing empathy can transform these moments into opportunities for growth.Join Steve and Mary Alessi as they offer practical marriage advice from nearly four decades of experience. They break down common misunderstandings, explain why "repair-rich" marriages thrive despite conflicts, and share ways to express your needs without triggering defensiveness. Learn how simple actions—like genuine apologies, recognizing your partner's strengths, and sharing the responsibility for household tasks—can create a healthier, happier home.Whether you're a newlywed or a seasoned couple, you'll get valuable tips on handling arguments, managing emotions, and supporting each other's value system.Support the showJOIN THE FAMILY BUSINESS WITH OUR NEWSLETTER Sign Up for Our Family Business Newsletter and get more inside news from the Alessis + tips and strategies for a happier family!

IT'S RELEASE DAY!!! Don't Burn Your Own House Down is officially out in the world! For this special day, Jesse asked if he could sit down and interview me about the real story behind the book… and our marriage.  We talk honestly about the habits and patterns that created distance between us. We discuss the stories of others' that are a big part of this book (and the title). This conversation is about the reality that marriage doesn't just happen and stay great on its own. It takes intention. It takes humility. It takes learning how to repair when you've hurt each other. And it takes choosing an eternal perspective, to keep Jesus as the foundation, and choosing one another even when your feelings are all over the place. I also share the core moment that made me feel like I had to write this book, the chapters that were the most personal for me, and what I believe is the one place couples can start if they want to begin reconnecting. This isn't about being the "perfect couple." It's about being two people who are ready to learn how to stop drifting and start building again. About the Book Don't Burn Your Own House Down is about recognizing the small patterns that slowly erode connection in your marriage. I speak on modern issues in modern marriages, like social media, p*rnography, comparison, spiritual disconnection, emotional labor, marital financial struggles, and much more. I give practical tools, along with my own vulnerable stories, to help you to rebuild emotional safety, communication, and closeness in a practical, honest way. Don't Burn Your Own House Down is for new couples who want to prepare their hearts for a godly marriage. Couples who don't want to give up, but know something needs to change. Couples who have been married for 50 years but feel like their love has disappeared. Couples with newborns or a difficult family life who just need some reprieve and support. No matter what season you're in, this book is for YOU.

If you're wondering how much couples are actually fighting, what they're fighting about, and how they're making up – we got you! We conducted surveys to ask these questions, and are also sharing our own experiences regarding conflict (and conflict resolution), makeup sex, the advice of "never go to bed angry," why you shouldn't fight over text, and how toxic relationships take a toll on your health. And we're discussing couples who say they never fight (ahem George Clooney and Travis Kelce). Before we get into the topic, Ashley pops off about the new iPhone feature she feels victimized by, Rayna shares the one thing about traveling she can't get right, and we have a foolproof tip for getting kinkier in the bedroom.

Part 3  In this episode of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches sit down fresh off an intense couples retreat to unpack what really happens when you stop pretending everything is fine and actually do the work. They debrief the weekend, talk about the energy shift created by Peaches' first guided meditation and sound bath, and share behind-the-scenes details from their women's and men's retreats, upcoming couples retreats, and the early stages of building their church and refuge for abused and struggling men and women. If you're into real marriage talk, couples retreats, guided meditations, chakras, psilocybin, spiritual growth, and practical relationship tools, this episode gives you a raw look at how they blend masculine leadership, feminine softness, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional processing to actually create change, not just talk about it. The heart of the episode is a powerful Patreon email series from a husband who went from cheating and poorly managed polyamory to radical accountability, therapy, ADHD awareness, and the hard question, “Are we still compatible as healthy people, or are we just together out of habit?” Chris and Peaches walk through infidelity, open relationships, trauma-bonding, rebuilding trust after betrayal, neurodivergent “spicy brains,” communication breakdowns, resentment, and what it actually looks like for both partners to earn each other again. If you're wrestling with whether to stay or leave, healing from cheating, navigating poly-to-monogamy, questioning compatibility, or trying to understand ADHD and emotional dysregulation in your marriage, this conversation will hit home and give you straight, no-fluff relationship advice you can start using today.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

The #1 thing keeping you from an amazing marriage are walls. Walls that you have toward your partner and walls they have toward you. You won't be able to nurture emotional and physical closeness when one or both of you have walls. In this new episode on the Dr. Wyatt Marriage Podcast, I discuss how walls are build and how to slowly bring them down to save your marriage.

In this Moment, Ramit shares the money truths couples avoid, the biggest conversation most people won't have, and why financial stress in relationships is rarely about the bank balance - it's about psychology, expectations, and trust.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nicole McNichols, psychologist, professor at the University of Washington, and author of You Could Be Having Better Sex, for one of the most honest, research-backed conversations we've ever had about sex, intimacy, and connection in long-term marriage.   This isn't about sex positions, tricks, or "trying harder." It's about why good marriages lose momentum over time, how pressure and expectations quietly kill desire, and why emotional connection is often the real foreplay. Dr. Nicole breaks down why scheduling sex can backfire, how shame and guilt around sex are learned early, and how curiosity—not performance—creates the kind of intimacy couples actually crave. I also share personal stories from my own marriage about connection, timing, and why mediocre sex just to "check the box" no longer works. If you want a healthier, more connected sex life, this episode gives you a roadmap grounded in science and real-life experience.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why this episode isn't about sex positions or tricks [1:26] Introducing Dr. Nicole McNichols and her background [2:09] Why scheduling sex can quietly backfire [2:36] How pressure and expectation kill intimacy [2:58] Emotional connection as the real foreplay [3:36] Why intimacy dates matter more than sex calendars [5:18] How Dr. Nicole became a "sex professor" by accident [6:10] Loneliness, disconnection, and the role of sexual health [7:08] Shame, stigma, and misinformation around sex—especially for women [9:14] Why healthy sex improves forgiveness, health, and longevity [10:25] The failure of shame-based sex education [12:10] Countries with sex-positive education and better outcomes [13:18] Identifying the sources of shame we carry into marriage [15:09] Why sex shouldn't be the first thing sacrificed in busy seasons [16:07] Why conversations about sex should happen with clothes on [17:00] Using curiosity instead of pressure to improve intimacy [18:11] Announcement: Dad Edge Alliance February focus on intimacy and attraction [20:03] Curiosity vs. agenda in hard conversations [21:17] Why scheduling sex alone doesn't work [22:09] Creating the right context and mood for intimacy [23:24] Sexual effort that creates pressure instead of desire [24:55] Emotional lead-up and responsive desire [26:01] Initiation–rejection cycles and resentment [27:23] "Intimacy dates" and reconnecting outside the bedroom [29:11] Larry shares a personal story about connection over convenience [31:26] Choosing quality connection over mediocre sex [33:17] Maintenance sex vs. meaningful sexual connection [35:04] Balancing connection and realistic expectations [37:22] Long-term rejection cycles and rebuilding intimacy [39:00] Hormones, menopause, and why libido changes aren't personal [41:29] Division of labor, resentment, and loss of identity [43:48] Gottman research and why distance doesn't heal intimacy [45:43] Making your partner feel seen and heard [47:23] Listening vs. fixing in emotional conversations [49:13] Resources for better conversations with your wife and kids [49:31] Dr. Nicole's book and New York Times features [50:44] Where to find Dr. Nicole and her work [53:08] Why improving your sex life is a powerful way to start 2026     Five Key Takeaways Pressure and expectation kill desire, while curiosity and emotional safety create attraction.  Emotional connection is often the real foreplay, especially in long-term marriages.  Scheduling sex without context can backfire if couples don't create space to reconnect first.  Sexual shame is learned, and identifying its sources is the first step toward healthier intimacy.  Better sex isn't about frequency—it's about quality, safety, and connection.        Links & Resources 25 Intimate Conversation Starters: https://thedadedge.com/25questions Conversation Cards for Kids (Ages 5–Teen): https://thedadedge.com/kidquestions Dr. Nicole McNichols – Faculty Spotlight (University of Washington): https://psych.uw.edu/newsletter/summer-2020/faculty/faculty-spotlight-on-nicole-mcnichols New York Times – Modern Love Podcast Feature: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/podcasts/modern-love-better-sex-tips.html Book — You Could Be Having Better Sex Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1430     Closing Remark If this episode gave you language, clarity, or hope around intimacy in your marriage, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

In this episode, you're taking a real-time boundaries self-assessment right along with us. We walk through a porous, rigid, and healthy boundaries quiz, you'll hear each question, the A, B, C options, and how to score what type of boundaries show up most in your life, so you can spot patterns fast and get honest about where you're leaking energy or walling people out. Expect blunt, practical conversation about why “boundaries” are rarely one size fits all, and how context matters, especially with your spouse, friends, work, and authority dynamics. You'll hear examples tied to saying no, overexplaining, work stress, social media habits, loaning money, oversharing, asking for help, and taking “no” personally, plus some pushback on black and white quizzes and the gray areas they miss. Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

I've been hoping to inspire you to ask God to give you a vision—so you rise above mediocrity and soar to the heights for which God created you. What does a vision look like? Here are five signs to help you identify your God-given vision: Sign Number 1 – It won't go away. As you pray about it, it gets stronger, not weaker. Sign Number 2 – There is a need for it. Sign Number 3 – God will open doors for you. You will see some small and/or large miracles as God opens these doors. You will be amazed, frightened, awestruck, and excited. Sign Number 4 – Your spiritual leader(s) will encourage you. Sign Number 5 – God will give you the right people to help you. Elsy Riungu was my friend in Nairobi, Kenya. Many years ago, at our conference there I spoke on the topic of asking God for a vision. As always, Elsy took to heart what she heard. She prayed about it and then began a ministry to help save marriages. She rented a venue near her home—with money she didn't have to spare—and started a monthly meeting for couples. She got speakers, planned the programs, advertised and invited, and for several years she continued this ministry. After she began, she wrote: “Couples ministry is running well, as we meet once a month. It is exciting to minister to mostly young couples. I have had three separate marriages, and after counselling, two of them are restored and enjoying their union. My desire this year is to reach families in the rural areas, where the need is enormous. Pray for me.” She had no money, no support system backing her up. God gave her a vision, and she was obedient to it. And she was filled with joy to be doing what God called her to do. Are you willing to ask for a vision? It begins with prayer, but at some point, you must put feet to your prayer. Start walking through open doors and just keep taking the next right step. Remember, when it comes to pursuing your vision: If you don't go for it, it will fade, and you'll miss the blessing. Use it or lose it. The more you pursue God's vision for you, the more ability and gifts you will have to do it. God will stretch you and gift you like you've never dreamed. But this won't happen until you take the first step.

Got some sh!t to say?In this ENCORE episode, Marko and Steve dive into the big leap of moving for love. Is love alone enough to justify packing up your life? What should your future together actually look like once you make the move? And—maybe the most important question—should you get your own place first or move straight in with your partner?

A while back, we shared a video on social media about the importance of making time for intimacy, dating, and connection in marriage. One man responded strongly, explaining that he, and many other husbands, simply did not have the “time” and felt we did not understand the realities of busy life.What followed was a conversation that went back and forth for nearly three hours, centered on his belief that there was truly no time available to connect with his wife. At one point, Amy gently pointed out that while he felt he had no time for his marriage, he had found several hours to engage in the discussion and remain active on social media. The conversation ended shortly after, but the point remained clear.We hear this often. Couples talk about being too busy for date nights, postponing vacations, putting off intimacy, or avoiding deeper emotional connection. Yet we live in a world where convenience surrounds us. Food arrives in minutes, answers are instant, and entertainment is available at the push of a button.Still, many couples feel they do not have time for the most important relationship in their lives, their marriage.The truth is not that time is unavailable, but that it is often unintentionally allocated elsewhere. Screens, distractions, and endless obligations slowly take priority while marriage gets pushed to the margins. When couples begin to look honestly at how time is spent, even small shifts can create space for meaningful connection. Prioritizing marriage is rarely about finding more time, it is about choosing where our time goes.In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we talk about why “too busy” is the ultimate relationship killer and the simple things you can do to reclaim your time, your connection, and your love, even in the middle of life's chaos. If you've been putting your relationship on the back burner, this episode is your wake-up call.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.

Part 2In this episode of the To Be Better podcast, Chris and Peaches dive deep into a raw, unfiltered 20-year marriage story filled with childhood trauma, family chaos, serial infidelity, emotional cheating, open relationships, and failed poly experiments. They read a powerful email from a wife questioning whether she's still compatible with her husband after decades of betrayal, gaslighting, and weaponized empathy, and explore how trauma bonds, chaos addiction, and unhealed wounds keep people trapped in relationships that no longer feel safe. Along the way they tackle topics like alexithymia, ADHD, autism, nervous system responses, hypervigilance, and how undiagnosed neurodivergence can impact communication, trust, intimacy, and long-term commitment. You'll hear blunt, practical relationship advice on rebuilding or finally walking away: when to stop giving more chances, how to protect your peace, what emotional cheating actually looks like, how to set non-negotiable boundaries, and why “life experience over degrees” matters in real-world marriage problems. Chris and Peaches break down victim accountability, people pleasing, choosing stability over chaos, and how to create a truly monogamous relationship after years of betrayal. If you're searching for honest conversations about marriage, infidelity recovery, long-term relationships, couples communication, spiritual growth, and becoming a better partner, this is your episode.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

206 If you've ever read a marriage book, heard some relationship advice that seemed logical, or sat in a therapy session and thought, "Why is this so much harder for me than it seems to be for everyone else?"—there is a biological reason for that.Today we dive into what that is, and why a lot of traditional marriage advice just doesn't work for us as highly sensitive people. The truth is, most marriage advice does not take into account the HSP reality – our highly sensitive nervous systems and brains. So of course it's going to flop for us if we are not first respecting and honoring our physiological differences and needs.To expect traditional marriage advice to work for us is like expecting an orchid to bloom in a desert. It's not going to happen. So tune in to hear the top 5 popular pieces of advice that fail us sensitives, and what actually works instead – all illustrated with HSP-resonant nature analogies (sometimes some good old garden metaphors can really clear things up!)By the end of this episode, you're going to understand why, to thrive in your relationship, you don't need to try harder at traditional marriage advice's top down approach – like communicating with specific phrases– and that nourishing your sensitive system at the root level is what will make the biggest difference–and make the rest come quite naturally. What does that mean?

On this episode of Perpetual mOetion with Dr. mOe Anderson, couples communication expert Raffi Bilek, LCSWC, joins the show to unpack how modern digital life is reshaping — and often straining — our closest relationships. Raffi, author of The Couple's Communication Handbook, explains why in-person connection matters, how social media and texting create tone-deaf misunderstandings, and why difficult conversations rarely go well over screens. Sound Bites "Social media can distort real-life relationships." "Texting is not suitable for deep conversations." "Going to bed angry can sometimes be beneficial." Topics covered include the common communication traps of digital life (tone misreads, avoidance, comparison), the harmful effects of trying to resolve deep issues by text or quick video, and the cultural myth that you must never go to bed angry. Raffi and Dr. mOe discuss why postponing a heated conversation can be healthier, and when returning to the discussion later produces real progress. The episode reframes conflict from breakdown to opportunity: with the right tools, everyday friction can deepen intimacy, build trust, and create lasting teamwork. Rafi also outlines the most common reasons couples seek counseling — chronic communication problems, infidelity, neurodiversity, and life stressors — and how coaching or therapy can guide repair and growth. Listeners can expect concrete, actionable guidance: when to delay a conversation, how to de-escalate, how to listen to understand (not to rebut), and simple exercises to practice connection. Tune in to learn how to stop arguing in circles, regulate your emotional tone, and turn conflict into connection—so you and your partner (or friends and teammates) can feel heard, understood, and closer.   To connect with Raffi and download two chapters of his book for free, visit his website https://www.thecommunicationbook.com/   Would you like to be a guest on this podcast?

This video is a raw update on what it actually means to be a good man today, beyond polite “gentleman rules.” You'll hear a clear breakdown of ten core commitments built on ownership, discipline, emotional mastery, time leadership, and leading your home with real trust and respect, aimed at the man who wants his woman to feel safe with him, his kids to look up to him, and himself to respect the man in the mirror. Expect direct truth, practical examples, and accountability you can't outsource, no victim stories, no motivational fluff. The focus is men's self improvement that holds up in real life, becoming a better husband, a better father, a better leader, and a man who keeps his word, carries weight in his work, chooses solid brotherhood, and lives for purpose and legacy instead of comfort.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

If you're tired of avoiding conflict, walking on eggshells, or losing yourself to keep the peace, this episode is for you. Join me as I explore the real cost of people-pleasing, and a different way forward that doesn't require becoming confrontational. People-pleasing often develops as a way to stay safe and connected, especially when conflict felt overwhelming or dangerous earlier in life. But in adult relationships, that same strategy can lead to disconnection, resentment, and a loss of intimacy. In this episode, we look at why naming your feelings and needs can feel so scary, how fear of conflict fuels people-pleasing, and what helps couples become conflict-confident instead of conflict-avoidant. Using insights from Nonviolent Communication (NVC), this conversation points toward a way of relating where honesty feels safer, connection runs deeper, and you don't have to abandon yourself to keep the relationship intact.   Connect with your host, Ali Miller: Training + Coaching Explore my 9-week private coaching program for couples: Stop Fighting!

On this week's episode of the SheerLuxe Podcast, Hodge is joined by Laura Black and Mia Luckie for a conversation about marriage, modern relationships and the small habits that can make a big difference. The trio kick things off with Hodge's marriage resolutions for 2026 – from committing to one new restaurant a month to finding shared hobbies that don't revolve around food or booze, plus setting couple goals and tackling a challenge together. Elsewhere, they chat fashion finds of the week (hello H&M shoulder-pad polos, Mango knits and ultra-high-waist denim), beauty routines that are actually working right now, and the books, wellness treatments and activewear they're loving. There's also a lively debate on public displays of affection, celebrity couples, tracking apps, Ring doorbells and whether January is secretly the best month of the year. As always, the episode wraps with your listener dilemmas, covering everything from workplace crushes to jealousy among friends...PANELHodge Templeman | @sarahjtempleman | https://www.instagram.com/sarahjtempleman/ Arket Merino Top | https://tinyurl.com/bdexpzau The Frankie Shop Pencil Skirt | https://tinyurl.com/3trrcnf9 George At Asda Bomber Jacket | https://tinyurl.com/4hkkz522 Laura Black | @laurablackedits | https://www.instagram.com/laurablackedits/ Maebe White Shirt | https://tinyurl.com/2mjxczx4 Asos Barrel Leg Jeans | asos.bbgqo9.net/zxZmNO Dehanche Belt | https://tinyurl.com/mrxt5db2 Mia Luckie | @mialuckie | https://www.instagram.com/mialuckie/ H&M White Lace Blouse | https://tinyurl.com/4t9z796u COS Blazer (Similar) | https://tinyurl.com/4zfn9ecf THINGS YOU LOVECharlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter | https://tinyurl.com/4vmubbk7 NYX Glaze Skin Tint | https://tinyurl.com/34zhf6yt Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer | https://tinyurl.com/59f9hkrv Renata Nunes Therapist | https://rkntherapist.com/ FASHION FINDSAlexis Cruz Shoulder Pad Tops |https://tinyurl.com/3jp6bwfk H&M Ultra High Waist Jeans | https://tinyurl.com/84575vs7 EMU Australia Snow Boots | https://tinyurl.com/w8jyj6zh Helsa Faux Fur Coat | https://tinyurl.com/yu7ce57n H&M Shoulder Pad Polo Top | https://tinyurl.com/3p9f4pth Vuori Half Zip Hoodie | https://tinyurl.com/2wcu24p2 Vuori Wide Leg Trousers | https://tinyurl.com/7kxd9sby Mango Quarter Zip Sweatshirt | https://prf.hn/l/ngMPgwX/ Mango Pencil Skirt | https://tinyurl.com/2m8k83xa Agolde White Barrel Leg Jeans | https://tinyurl.com/2hz2vxt3 With Nothing Underneath Brushed Cotton Shirt | https://tinyurl.com/prctshkx Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this thought-provoking episode, Tom sits down with renowned divorce attorney and author, James sexton, for a candid conversation that cuts through the romantic clichés to examine what really makes modern relationships thrive—or crumble. From the opening moments, James sexton challenges some of the most deeply held assumptions about love and marriage, describing marriage as a "technology that fails catastrophically 56% of the time," and emphasizing the practical, even economic, nature of romantic relationships in today's world. Together, James sexton and Tom Bilyeu dive into why the idea of marriage as a simple, timeless institution is not just outdated, but potentially dangerous if entered into blindly. They explore how evolving gender roles, economic shifts, and the explosion of social media have completely changed the game for couples, leading to confusion, higher expectations, and often, disappointment. James sexton brings his unique perspective as someone who has seen countless relationships unravel, and he's not afraid to ask the tough questions—like why we don't treat the most important partnership of our lives with the same strategic care we bring to business or personal growth. Most importantly, this episode is packed with actionable insights. James sexton and Tom Bilyeu discuss the importance of defining roles, setting expectations, and building regular check-ins—treating marriage as not just an emotional bond, but a dynamic, evolving exchange of value. They reveal the often-overlooked rituals, mindsets, and communication techniques that can help couples avoid the common pitfalls and stay connected through life's challenges. Whether you're single, dating, or decades into marriage, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what commitment means, and inspire you to take a more intentional, proactive approach to building lasting love.

This is stand alone content by Chris. Something I am doing on youtube, and decided to put them together here for you as well. Instead of  daily drops like I do there. I am putting it here in quarters. This episode series breaks down the first four principles of Miyamoto Musashi's Dokkōdō and translates them into practical guidance for modern men seeking self mastery, emotional regulation, and leadership in their homes and relationships. Through a grounded and direct lens, these principles explore detachment from unhealthy desire, acceptance of reality, freedom from dependence on pleasure or comfort, and humility in perception. This breakdown connects ancient Stoic and Zen philosophy with modern psychology, Adlerian responsibility, and personal accountability, helping listeners understand how internal discipline shapes external outcomes. If you are searching for content on Musashi, the Dokkōdō, masculine growth, self control, or emotional resilience, this episode offers a clear and applicable framework. The first four principles of the Dokkōdō are presented not as abstract philosophy, but as lived standards that expose ego, victim thinking, and reactive behavior. This podcast episode examines how attachment fuels suffering, how resistance to reality creates chaos, and how unchecked desire weakens leadership in marriage, fatherhood, and purpose. By tying Musashi's teachings to journaling, self reflection, and daily decision making, this breakdown challenges men to own their interpretations and take responsibility for their results. Ideal for listeners interested in personal growth, men's work, discipline, and timeless wisdom applied to modern life, this episode serves as both a mirror and a call to action.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Zach sits down with Glenn and Jodie, a married couple whose relationship has been shaped by cancer, caregiving, entrepreneurship, and a shared commitment to facing life side-by-side. Their story includes an early breast cancer diagnosis shortly after getting engaged, multiple recurrences over the years, and a present-day reality of living with cancer as a chronic condition. Through it all, Glenn and Jodie describe how the illness became something external to their marriage—an adversary they face together rather than a wedge between them. They talk openly about caregiving, helplessness, perspective, and how repeated medical crises stripped away the impulse to sweat small things. Glenn reflects on learning how to show up when he couldn't “fix” anything, while Jodie shares how being cared for reshaped her understanding of partnership and trust. The conversation also explores the everyday friction of working together—different wiring, different priorities, and Glenn's self-identified ADD—along with Zach's reframing of conditions like cancer and ADHD as things couples must externalize rather than personalize. They close by sharing the work they now do together through their businesses and podcast, Couples, Inc., where they help couples who run businesses navigate boundaries, roles, and relationship health. This episode is a grounded, hopeful look at what it means to fight the right thing—and to stay on the same team over the long haul. Key Takeaways Externalize the problem – Cancer, ADHD, and other conditions aren't your partner; they're what you face together. Caregiving is connection – Showing up consistently matters more than having solutions. Perspective changes priorities – Repeated health crises reduced conflict around “small stuff.” Different wiring isn't disrespect – Productivity styles and attention differences require collaboration, not blame. Mindset precedes tactics – Tools only work when used without resentment or superiority. Play the long game – Healthy relationships focus on reducing the same pain points year over year. Being on the same team is intentional – Unity doesn't happen automatically; it's practiced. Guest Info Glenn & Jodie Glenn and Jodie are married partners in life and business. They co-own Living Pink Communications, a marketing firm inspired by Jodie's ongoing experience with breast cancer, and host the Couples, Inc. podcast, which supports couples who run businesses together.

Part 1In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches kick off Season 4 with real talk about what it actually takes to build a regulated, connected life and marriage. They share behind-the-scenes updates on their growing community, retreats, and content, including the upcoming “I Am Whole” women's retreat with seminars on feminine embodiment, devotional motherhood and wifehood, shadow work, nervous system regulation, and self-liberation. If you're craving feminine energy work, women's retreats, self-care, and practical marriage tools from a husband and wife who actually live this, this conversation sets the tone for intentional growth in 2026 and beyond. From there, they dive deep into a YouTube comment about a defensive husband with childhood trauma and unpack what “30 years of conditioning” really means, how reactivity forms, and how to talk to a defensive partner without blowing up the relationship. Using real examples from their marriage and a powerful email from a Patreon member in a 22-year trauma-bonded relationship, they tackle the hard questions: how to stop living in survival mode, how to break generational trauma for your kids, what the roommate phase really is, when you're just not trying versus when it's actually time to let go, and how to rebuild intimacy by choice, not by accident. If you've ever wondered whether to stay, leave, or fight for your marriage, this episode gives you grounded marriage advice, communication scripts, mindset shifts, and perspective on healing trauma in relationships so you can make a clear, conscious decision about your future.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.
