Podcasts about good marriage

Stéphanie welcomes Ann and Dave Wilson, the hosts of global ministry and syndicated radio show FamilyLife, to discuss key insights from their decades of marriage and ministry. The title of their new book says it all: "How to speak life to your husband when all you want to do is yell at him." What if one small shift—like choosing encouragement over criticism—could change the tone of your whole marriage? Real people in real relationships have real problems, but with God's help, you can heal and sustain your marriage for a lifetime. The Wilsons, through vulnerability and wisdom, highlight how Christian spouses—particularly wives, though the lessons are universal—can profoundly impact their marriages by transforming their mindset and the words they speak. Recognizing Shifting Cultural Dynamics Ann shares that over 45 years of marriage and ministry, she's observed a cultural shift. Dissatisfaction and unrest in marriages seem more common, with a tendency for spouses—especially wives—to see their partners as adversaries or projects for improvement. Ann notes the escalation of negative speech and a belief that critiques or reminders will motivate change. In reality, frequent criticism often demotivates the other partner. The Power of Words A pivotal story shared by Ann involves her realization that her well-intended feedback sounded like constant “booing” to Dave. Ann genuinely believed her critiques would help Dave become a better husband, father, and man. However, after an honest conversation and prayer, Ann discovered that her negative words were discouraging him more than anything. This revelation led her to a critical self-examination and a commitment to use her words to encourage rather than to correct. The Path from Critique to Affirmation Ann's journey involved asking God for conviction—not condemnation—and humbly examining her attitude. She confronted her own pride, recognizing the difference between thinking "I failed" (which God forgives and restores) and "I am a failure" (which is condemnation and shame). With this shift, she chose to focus on what was good and praiseworthy in Dave, believing that God calls spouses to be each other's chief encouragers. The Science Behind Positive Illusion Ann references Dr. Helene Fisher's research, which found that happy, long-term marriages are characterized by a “positive illusion”—focusing on what you like about your spouse, intentionally rewiring your mindset to notice and affirm the good. This is supported by brain science and aligns with biblical instructions about renewing your mind. Practical Outworking and Challenges Practically, Ann began to express gratitude and appreciation—starting with simple thanks for Dave's hard work. Dave testifies that these words of encouragement were more powerful than any affirmation he received elsewhere. This shift motivated him to grow into the person Ann saw in him. A Revolution of Respect and Gratitude Ann frames this approach as a “rebellion” against a culture that devalues respect. By choosing respect and gratitude—whether verbally, in writing, or through a daily journal—wives can breathe life and hope into their husbands, families, and homes. Dave affirms that authentic encouragement, rather than critique, draws men toward home and transforms family culture. The God-Given Power of Influence Through Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, any spouse can become a speaker of life in marriage. This transformation is not about being passive or suppressing truth but about courageously choosing love, hope, and affirmation as radical acts of faith—ultimately reflecting God's heart for us. How might shifting from critique to encouragement change the atmosphere in your closest relationships? What step can you take today to practice the “positive illusion” in your marriage or family? ABOUT THE BOOK “HOW TO SPEAK LIFE TO YOUR HUSBAND WHEN ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS YELLE AT HIM” Discover the marriage you've always hoped for. With practical tools to help you communicate more effectively, you'll learn to speak the language of love and grace that will encourage and strengthen your husband at every turn. Buy the book here: https://shop.familylife.com/product/how-to-speak-life-to-your-husband-when-all-you-want-to-do-is-yell-at-him/  Ann Wilson spent more than a decade longing for a better marriage and for her husband to be more attentive, more involved, more helpful, and just all-around better. And every chance she got, she told him so. Where she thought she was being helpful, she was instead badgering him with constant critiques until all he heard was, “Boo! Boo!” when they were together. It almost broke their marriage. But Ann discovered the power that God has given wives. No matter how long you've been married, you don't need to spend another minute hoping and wishing for things to be different. They can! And the power is in your hands. In this motivating, honest new book, Ann–marriage coach and bestselling author with her husband, Dave–shares how she breathed new life into her marriage by stewarding one of the most powerful gifts believers inherit from the Creator: encouragement. God has given wives a superpower to influence their husbands and homes, and you can use that power to build up and encourage your man to be a better husband, father, and man of God while still speaking truth to him. Relatable, encouraging, biblical, and funny, Ann shares stories from her own life, as well as valuable insights from Scripture, to help you: ·         Address the ways you process and justify your communication patterns ·         Seek spiritual and relational (re)alignment with both your husband and God ·         Learn to exercise self-control and demonstrate radical grace in conversations with your husband ·         Begin to cheer more than boo–in a way that isn't put on, fake, or inauthentic ·         Learn to speak truth in a way your husband can really hear you ·         And, ultimately, cultivate a grace-based marriage that thrives ·         Real people in real relationships have real problems, but with God's help, you can heal and sustain your marriage for a lifetime.

In this episode, Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by Nicole Modic, a food blogger and cookbook author, about her journey from being a lawyer to embracing her passion for food and wellness. They discuss Nicole's struggles with eating disorders, the challenges of her marriage, and the decision to prioritize her happiness and well-being. The conversation delves into the complexities of divorce, the stigma surrounding it, and the importance of self-acceptance and support from friends. Nicole shares her insights on overcoming shame and finding strength in vulnerability, ultimately leading to personal growth and empowerment. In this conversation, Michelle and Nicole explore the complexities of navigating life changes, particularly in midlife and during divorce. They discuss the importance of healthy coping mechanisms, the joy of rediscovering creativity in work, and the significance of intentional co-parenting. Nicole shares her personal journey of transformation, emphasizing the need to let go of the past and embrace new beginnings, while also highlighting the emotional challenges that come with these transitions. Together they will cover: Talking about the "guilt" to alleviate any shame Letting go of what no longer serves you to focus on new possibilities Knowing it is okay to always choose yourself AND MORE Nicole Keshishian Modic, aka “Kalejunkie”, is a proud Armenian and full-time food blogger and recipe developer based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Nicole started her food blog almost 9 years ago onInstagram, as a hobby, while she was on maternity leave from her job as a lawyer. She used Instagram to document food she was eating as she began healing from a 15 + year eating disorder that no one knew about. At the time, she was a practicing lawyer, using food to cope with the stress and demands of her chosen career. At the time, Nicole's definition of “healthy” was a diet consisting solely of plain salads, bland chicken breast, green juice, and KALE—and so, the name “Kalejunkie” was born. But over time, her relationship with food began to shift. Nicole realized that within the definition of “healthy,” there is room for all foods, way beyond just salads and green juice and kale, and that limiting entire food groups was not sustainable. It was SAD! And so, her love affair with recipe development began. Nicole spent hours upon hours in the kitchen creating easy, accessible, and super flavorful recipes, with lots of healthy desserts included. In October 2022, her first cookbook, Love To Eat, was published with Ten Speed Press/Penguin Randomhouse. This book served to inspire others heal their relationship with food and love to eat. These days, Nicole is serving up vibrant, elevated dishes to her social media community of over 3M combined and is regularly featured on Good Morning America, Feed Feed, Tastemade, and other large media outlets and publications.

Chassidus Morning Class: This class was presented on Monday, 26 Tishrei, 5784, October 28, 2024, Parshas Noach, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. This text-based class is the first one on the Maamar by the Alter Rebbe “Ki Ka'asher Hashamyim,” in Torah Or Bereishis. This discourse was said by the Alter Rebbe on Shabbos Vaeira, Rosh Chodesh Shevat, 5567, 1807, beginning on a verse from the Haftorah of Shabbos Rosh Chedesh. It explores the creation of heaven and earth, and the creation of a new heaven and earth during the time of redemption. The Maamar delves into the dance of Rotzo and Shuv, tension and resolution, today and during the time of the redemption.

We often link success at work or financial stability with getting more love, admiration, and security from our partners. But here's the kicker: despite all our hard work, many of us see our relationships suffer.We get so caught up in chasing career milestones or money targets that we forget about tending to our relationships. It's like we're on autopilot, focusing solely on work and neglecting our connection with our partners. Sure, we might hit those career or financial targets eventually, but it often comes at the expense of losing touch with ourselves and our relationships.Even though we start off with good intentions, aiming to work hard for the sake of our relationships, we end up feeling distant from our partners. We've let the emotional and mental bonds slip away while we were busy climbing the ladder. It's crucial to strike a balance between our professional ambitions and prioritizing our relationships to avoid the sad reality of achieving success while losing what truly matters in life.Support the Show.Set yourself up for relationship success and get the best marriage advice.

Debbie and Tommy welcome the fabulous Frances Mayes back to the podcast! The international bestselling author behind the now-classic Under the Tuscan Sun is back with a new book, and her third novel, A Great Marriage. When a perfect wedding is called off just days before the big event, it sends two people—and their families—reeling, in this poignant novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Under the Tuscan Sun and Women in Sunlight. Dara Willcox, in New York for a weekend, meets Austin Clarke at an art gallery. If love at first sight can happen, it happens to them. These two vivid, ambitious people are on different courses—he's British, working temporarily in New York. She's from North Carolina, set on law school. They don't care. They will make their lives together happen. At their April engagement dinner at Dara's family home, her mother, Lee, sets a beautiful table, and the family and close friends gather to celebrate. Rich, Dara's father, raises a toast. Suddenly, Lee spills the wine, a brilliant red stain splashing onto the tablecloth and onto Austin. Days later, Austin hears unsettling news from London that wrecks their plans. Dara abruptly cancels the wedding. She refuses to reveal the reason, not even to her best friends or her parents or grandmother, disrupting their family tradition of openness. As everyone knows, Lee and Rich have a great marriage, and Charlotte, her grandmother, had a colossal one, to the late Senator Mann. Charlotte literally wrote the book on the subject: She's the author of international bestsellers on what makes a good or possibly a great marriage.  While Dara escapes to California and Indigo Island, South Carolina, Austin, back in London, faces a major tragedy, the consequences of which are life-altering. But it's Lee, Dara's mother, whose impulsive visit to London alters their fate. With her signature warmth, humor, and incisive style, beloved author Frances Mayes creates a multigenerational probe into the complexity of love and the great mystery ride of marriage. A novel of casual choices and fateful consequences, A Great Marriage introduces two unforgettable families and the arrival of a stranger who rearranges their futures. Her other international bestsellers include Bella Tuscany, Everyday in Tuscany, A Year in the World, Women in Sunlight, and Bringing Tuscany Home, among others. She has written six books of poetry and The Discovery of Poetry. Debbie and Tommy also discuss her most recent cookbook, Pasta Veloce: Irresistibly Fast Recipes from Under the Tuscan Sun. Her books have been translated into more than fifty languages! She and her husband divide their time between North Carolina and Tuscany. Get A Great Marriage, a new novel by Frances Mayes HERE.

This is all an inside job.The thing to hold in mind is that a boundary requires YOU to uphold and execute the consequences to, but does not mean that the other person has to adhere to them.With a narcissist, having a boundary can feel like an impossible task because any boundary you express is also you admitting you are worthy of having your needs met, disrupting their pre-exiting concept of relational dynamics involving a heirarchy.Your boundaries might be rejectected in the form of gaslighting or blackmail.And so you do not negotiate the boundary.You need to remain secure and self-assured in your own needs, prioritise these, and recognise that the rejection is a lesson you are learning about them.Support the Show.Set yourself up for relationship success and get the best marriage advice.

Here are the top five risk factors that make you prone to entering a trauma-bonded relationship:Insecure Attachment Style: Many of us, including you and me, might have an insecure attachment style, which can lead to difficult relationship patterns. Feeling unworthy of love, fearing rejection, and oscillating between wanting love and avoiding rejection are common issues. This insecurity can lead us to seek validation from unhealthy sources, reinforcing our feelings of unworthiness.Low Self-Esteem: Low self-worth often manifests in our inability to set boundaries and express needs. Boundaries are crucial for healthy relationships, but if you or I don't feel worthy, we might not enforce them, leading to a cycle of neglect and unmet needs. In toxic relationships, our self-esteem can plummet, causing us to neglect our own needs and boundaries.Achiever or Perfectionistic Traits: High achievers and perfectionists often have a strong inner critic and believe they must continuously prove their worth. This can attract partners with narcissistic tendencies who criticize and devalue us, reinforcing our inner doubts and pushing us into a cycle of trying to earn their approval.High Empathy and Sensitivity: If you're highly empathic or a people-pleaser, you might be at risk. You might overemphasize a partner's good traits, even if they treat you poorly most of the time. This overempathy leads you to make excuses for their behavior, seeing only the good and ignoring the bad. This can create a cycle of self-sacrifice, where you feel responsible for their happiness and overlook your own needs.History of Childhood Abuse or Neglect: Childhood trauma significantly impacts adult relationships. If you faced neglect, you might normalize this treatment and work harder to prove your worth in adulthood. If you experienced abuse, you might always walk on eggshells, aiming to please others and maintain peace. This makes it difficult to recognize and express your needs and emotions, leading to relationships that echo these harmful patterns.Recognizing these risk factors can help you heal and create healthier relationship patterns. It's important to ground yourself in your own worth and set clear boundaries. Your worth is infinite, and you deserve relationships that reflect that.

14.07.24 Leo B "Good Marriage Bad Marriage" by Maretul Har UK

Again, The Blind Rage Podcast says good-bye to one of horror's most iconic voices, as Stephen King Month 2.0 comes to an end. With this fond farewell, we'll be discussing A GOOD MARRIAGE, a seemingly overlooked adaptation of a novella, which appeared in the 2010 collection FULL DARK, NO STARS. Heavily inspired by the BTK case, Joan Allen stars as Darcy, an ordinary suburban housewife, who discovers that her husband of 25 years is a sadistic killer, preying on women long before their paths even crossed. With his ability to read her better than anyone, Bob (Anthony LaPaglia) immediately knows she's stumbled upon his secret. However, rather than killing her to keep that secret safe, Bob tells her that she can go to the authorities if she so desires, he'll do nothing to stand in her way. But this revelation will not only ruin her life, as no one will believe Darcy hadn't known of his crimes, but it will also ruin the lives of their adult children, whose perception of their kind and loving father will be forever shattered. That was a far too long and clunky sentence, but then again, I'm no Stephen King. Clearly. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blindragepod/message

NOTES: So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:33 (NLT) THE COMMAND: Husbands LOVE your wife. Husbands: Love your wives through SACRIFICE. Husbands: Love your wives by OVERLOOKING FAULTS. Husbands: Love your wives by PRIORITIZING HER WELLBEING. THE COMMAND: Wives RESPECT your husband. Wives: Respect your husband's LEADERSHIP. Wives: Respect your husband's NEEDS. Wives: Respect your husband by FORGIVING mistakes and being PATIENT with him. BOTTOM LINE: Your marriage will be as good as BOTH of you WANT it to be. THE CHALLENGE: What is ONE need I can meet this week?

You can always tell how important something is by the priority placed on it. In Genesis, the very first chapter of the first book of the Bible, God establishes a family, Adam and Eve. The very first thing God does in the New Testament is the merging of family between Mary and Joseph in the birth of Christ. And the very first miracle Jesus performs is at a wedding, the wedding at Cana. It is now officially wedding season, in the month of June more weddings will take place than at any other time of the year. But how do you ensure that a beautiful wedding with all the pomp and pageantry creates a strong marriage, where husband and wife move forward joyfully in whole-life oneness? Enter Fr. Nicholas Louh and Dr. Roxanne Louh. Fr. Nick is a Greek Orthodox Priest who's presided over the nuptials of scores of couples. His wife Dr. Roxanne Louh is a clinical psychologist and family therapist who sees many of those couples after the luster has worn off the glitz of the wedding and a life of children, careers and financial strains complicated their "happily ever after". On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, the Louhs talk about how to overcome difficulties in marriage, even some of the worst things that could happen, like an adulterous affair. But more importantly, how God's design for marriage is the key to a strong marriage, one that truly is, "for better or for worse." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In preparing one’s children to be married, the most important inheritance parents can give them is not money, but the example of a faithful marriage, based on God’s Word, lived out before them. While didactic training is necessary, the age-old adage is true—there’s more “caught than taught.” In this podcast, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm discuss seven good marriage habits that couples should embrace that not only honor God, but that will prepare their children for strong marriages, one day, as the Lord blesses. First, learn how to talk. Second, get reconciled quick. Third, don’t always have to do things your own way. Fourth, think the best of one another. Fifth, accept shortcomings. Sixth, deal with disappointments in a healthy way. And, seventh, create a happy home life. To boil it all down— make sure your marriage is a happy marriage, rooted in Christ, that creates a happy home.

Today, joined by Dr Matt Slavin, we delve into the question: "Would you erase your trauma if you could?" Exploring both big and little traumas, we acknowledge their impact on shaping us. Trauma isn't just about life-threatening events but also repeated feelings of betrayal or neglect. Our experiences, good and bad, mold us, propelling us towards achievements or influencing our relationships. Trauma often dictates our choices and behaviors, affecting how we navigate life's challenges.Through stories like Sir Edmund Hillary's, we see how past wounds can drive us to remarkable feats. Yet, trauma can also trap us in toxic patterns, blurring our perception of reality and hindering growth. Acceptance becomes pivotal, acknowledging the past while embracing the present. It's about radical acceptance—recognizing what we cannot change and focusing on self-improvement.In a study, 99.9% of respondents, despite enduring severe traumas, opted not to erase them, understanding that doing so would alter their entire life's trajectory. It's a testament to the complexity of human experience, where trauma isn't solely a burden but also a catalyst for growth. By embracing our multifaceted selves and seeking love and safety, we embark on the healing journey, empowering ourselves to choose connections that nurture our well-being. Ultimately, we are observers of our lives, wielding the power to shape our narratives and find solace in love and acceptance.Contact details for Matt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmattslavin/Support the showSet yourself up for relationship success and get the best marriage advice.

In the discussion about high achievers and their challenges in relationships, Sarah and Matt highlight the common issue of being overly focused on goals and rationality, neglecting emotional connection. They emphasize that success in relationships relies heavily on emotional and mental connection, which accounts for 80% of relationship longevity. Sarah stresses the importance of prioritizing meaningful values over achieving specific goals in relationships. Matt introduces a practical exercise involving a "values dartboard" to align actions with values. They underscore the need for intentional presence and effort in fostering emotional connection, even when lacking emotional intelligence. The conversation emphasizes the power of showing up for one another and discusses research showing that attunement in relationships leads to brainwave patterns akin to meditative states. This highlights the profound impact of emotional connection on overall well-being. They caution against the endless pursuit of tasks and goals, advocating for prioritizing and committing to nurturing relationships. Ultimately, they assert that genuine commitment, effort, and willingness to understand and support one another are crucial for relationship success, fostering a deeper emotional bond and overall fulfillment.Support the showSet yourself up for relationship success and get the best marriage advice.

The most important decision you will in your career EVER make is the person with whom you choose to have a relationship.Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with Kelly Roach, an 8 figure entrepreneur, owner of 6 businesses, who successfully balances career and family. Kelly emphasizes the importance of prioritizing relationships and structuring business around personal values. Starting her business part-time while working full-time taught her discipline and time management. She stresses the significance of quality time with family, leaving distractions like phones aside during these moments. We discussed the challenge of maintaining balance in relationships, especially when one partner is highly invested in their career. Open communication about values and roles is crucial for harmony. Kelly advises aligning business with personal values to create a fulfilling life rather than fitting life around work. Prioritizing family and creating space for meaningful connection fosters a healthy balance between personal and professional life.Contact details for Kelly Roach and her team:https://kellyroachcoaching.com/Support the showSet yourself up for relationship success and get the best marriage advice.

She emphasizes the importance of making peace with the past and being radically honest about one's emotional awareness.Neeta reflects on her pattern of seeking validation externally, a common trait among high achievers, and how it led to attracting toxic partners.

She stresses the importance of healing oneself before seeking validation in relationships, advocating for radical self-honesty and introspection.Both Neeta and Dr. Sarah share their experiences with unhealthy relationships, emphasizing the journey of self-discovery and healing.

What a long dark night it's been on this trip through Stephen King's 2011 collection Full Dark, No Stars. After traveling back to 1922 and taking a detour through Big Driver, Losers Justin Gerber, Rachel Reeves, and Jenn Adams make a pit stop in Derry for a nasty little tale of schadenfreude and revenge, “Fair Extension.” Then it's full speed ahead through the collection's final novella A Good Marriage. Inspired by the horrific crimes of BTK, King's story follows a happily married woman who finds a life-altering secret buried in her garage. Topics range from the ethics of True Crime storytelling, the fine line between art and exploitation, and the lies we tell ourselves to get through the day.  Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon Learn more about your ad choices.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.
