In this episode, I discuss a LinkedIn post by Marc Randolph, Co-Founder of Netflix, concerning how he chooses to prioritizes his marriage even while maintaining a wildly successful career. This post recently came up in my feed and it thrilled me to read about such a successful man, founder of numerous extremely robust companies, because he feels most proud of achieving his success while staying married to the same woman and being present as a father. To him, this is THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS. What struck me after reading the post were the comments, many of which were negative reactions to what he'd shared. For a relatively sophisticated platform like LinkedIn, I was surprised to say the least. You'll learn today that spending time with your partner is not about the quantity, or even the frequency.

When actress Niecy Nash and R&B singer-songwriter Jessica Betts first met in 2015, they struck up a deep friendship. So when they began to fall in love a few years later, they were both caught off-guard. Niecy was newly divorced and had never been in a relationship with a woman before, and Jessica didn't think she could find love again. But they took the plunge, and when they announced their relationship and marriage publicly in the summer of 2020, they didn't expect the outpouring of love and support. Almost two years into their marriage, they're still learning about each other's habits and quirks, and are just as in love and hot for each other as ever. They joined me from their Los Angeles home to tell me about their love story, how they learned to live together during the pandemic, their faith, and the surprising ways their age difference shows up in their marriage.   Want to hear more Niecy?

In the process they learned the skills needed to have a fantastic relationship and as a result, their marriages are hotter than ever. Before participating in the program they were facing problems like: Wanting more closeness and connection Yearning for the relationship they used to have Lack of having physical intimacy Disconnection resulting from pandemic stress making it hard to reconnect with one another I created this program to serve couples. If you're ready to experience more closeness, more connection, and more intimacy, then the Aligned & Hot Marriage program is for you.   If you're ready to create the deliciousness and joy of a growth-oriented, passionate relationship, visit http://www.alexandrastockwell.com (www.alexandrastockwell.com) ALIGNED & HOT MARRIAGE http://www.alignedhotmarriage.com/ (www.alignedhotmarriage.com) Contact Alexandra https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/contact/ (https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/contact/) Read Alexandra's book “Uncompromising Intimacy”https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl ( https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl) IG https://www.instagram.com/alexandra.stockwell.intimacy/ (https://www.instagram.com/alexandra.stockwell.intimacy/) Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/alexandrastockwellcoach (https://www.facebook.com/alexandrastockwellcoach) Join THE INTIMATE MARRIAGE Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hotmarriage (https://www.facebook.com/groups/hotmarriage)

Today I have a special gift for you. My husband Rodd is here to talk about how we keep our relationship intimate and thriving.  We're very busy people and we don't have a ton of extra time for date nights and romantic getaways, but we do know how to prioritize one another and feed our relationship. We know how to let the erotic energy flow and enjoy our emotional connection.  We used to spend too much energy on mundane things, and end up compromising and holding back with each other when it mattered. This lead to a buildup of resentment and frustration that would inevitably explode and leave Rodd feeling he had to navigate emotional land mines. Using the 6 Keys to an Intimate Marriage has transformed our relationship to one of closeness and intimacy, mutual support, laughter and fun. The communication in our marriage, companionship, and passion are deeply satisfying and we credit our capacity to Cultivate Curiosity, Embrace Honesty, Be Kind, Choose Happiness, Take Responsibility, and Seek Growth.   Program mentioned: ALIGNED & HOT MARRIAGE http://www.alignedhotmarriage.com/ (www.alignedhotmarriage.com) If you're ready to create the deliciousness and joy of a growth-oriented, passionate relationship, visit http://www.alexandrastockwell.com (www.alexandrastockwell.com) Contact Alexandra https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/contact/ (https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/contact/) Alexandra's book “Uncompromising Intimacy”https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl ( https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl) IG https://www.instagram.com/alexandra.stockwell.intimacy/ (https://www.instagram.com/alexandra.stockwell.intimacy/) Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/alexandrastockwellcoach (https://www.facebook.com/alexandrastockwellcoach) Facebook profile https://www.facebook.com/alexandra.stockwell.7 (https://www.facebook.com/alexandra.stockwell.7) Join THE INTIMATE MARRIAGE Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hotmarriage (https://www.facebook.com/groups/hotmarriage)

When children are young, it's fascinating to watch their growth and milestones. It's easy to be excited about watching them learn how to roll over, crawl, talk, walk, and tie their shoes. As we all get older, there's a sameness about us that isn't so exciting.  The sixth and final Key to an Intimate Marriage is to “Seek Growth”. In your marriage, that means: If you're doing the same things over and over, it gets boring and unfulfilling no matter how wonderful it was the first time. You need to check in with yourself and your partner about what you each know about yourselves and each other that you didn't know 10 years ago, 10 days ago, or even 10 minutes ago. What do you desire now? How has that changed? Be clear and intentional about how you prioritize growth. No matter what happens in your relationship, you can see it through the lens of growth. Ask yourself what you can focus on and what there is to learn, so that whatever you are experiencing will be inspiration for you to grow and evolve.

The fifth Key to an Intimate Marriage is “Take Responsibility”. That may be a loaded phrase for some, but hear me out.  Very often among educated, successful couples, we have this idea that everything should be split 50/50, fair and equal. You may be familiar with the phrases, “it takes two to tango,” and “we are both in this together.” While those are true in their context, meeting each other halfway isn't the way to a passionate marriage. The only way all aspects of the marriage will be addressed and taken care of is if you take 100% responsibility for the quality of your relationship. Ideally, your partner will take 100% as well, but when you take all the responsibility you won't be waiting around for your partner to do their part and instead will go ahead and improve things. That does NOT mean that you're 100% a caretaker or nurturer. That doesn't mean you do all the work. It may mean taking the initiative to make some plans for yourself to go to the spa, asking your partner for help with household matters, stepping into the hard conversations, or just being responsible for making interactions feel good and respectful. Basically, it means you stop waiting for your spouse to change before bettering yourself and how you show up in your relationship.

During my studies in college, I took many philosophy courses and one constant all the way from Ancient Greece to the present was that all human beings seek happiness. Based on what I had seen in my life so far, I didn't really believe that was true. Now, after my decades of work with clients and couples, I agree with the wisdom of that assertion. The problem is that most people don't really know how to get the happiness they seek. In my 6 Keys of an Intimate Marriage, the key of “Choose Happiness” ties in with uncompromising intimacy in that you are honoring the truth that lives within you. Listen for a story about a couple I've worked with and how choosing happiness has improved communication in their marriage, reduced resentment, and made them both feel much better as they worked through the keys. I'd really love to hear what came up for you in this episode.

Throughout the world, the most common relationship advice given is to compromise. If you want a bland, conflict-free companionship, then yes, go ahead and compromise. But if you want the spice and spark of an intimate marriage, become uncompromising and make your desires known! As women, we are conditioned to disconnect from our desires. When I came to understand the importance of bringing my feelings into my marriage and started speaking up, it didn't go so well. It actually left me feeling lonely. Turns out the problem wasn't that my husband didn't want me to have my desires; the problem was the way I was speaking to him about it. He wanted me to be kind. Become more aware of your desires and how to make them come true: DESIRES: Awaken the WOMAN within https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/desires/ (https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/desires/) Learning how to be kind isn't as simple as it sounds. That's why there's a module in the Aligned & Hot Marriage program which focuses on precisely on the topic. Many women have gotten used to speaking with a sting or acidity, and it's beautiful to evolve into a more connected way of communicating. I'd really love to hear what came up for you in this episode.

The second key to an intimate marriage is Embrace Honesty. In this episode I won't be addressing the major dishonesties such as infidelity, hidden bank accounts, and finding out paternity wasn't what everyone thought. Instead, I am addressing the small moments where you avoid stating your truth because you think it's more convenient when actually it's doing harm. Whenever you answer “how are you?” with “I'm fine,” (and you're not fine), it builds a wall between you and your spouse. By dampening your response you're training your partner to be less responsive to your subtle signals and less sensitive to what is happening in your soul.  In order to be honest at this level, it takes a lot of bravery, self-awareness, and willingness to express what is happening. It also takes letting go of resentment. I got rid of my resentment “straight jacket” in 2 ways: I learned to clear my resentments, (something I cover in detail in the Aligned & Hot Marriage program). I learned how to speak up so I wasn't building resentment in the first place. Begin with embracing honesty with yourself. Then make a point of making the seemingly small communications with your partner honest too. It will transform so much more than you can imagine.

Oftentimes, when we ask our spouses for something, it can lead to disappointment, frustration and feeling that your spouse doesn't care about your wants and needs. On this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, I'm sharing four steps to use to improve communication when asking your partner for what you want, using the example of couples coaching.

Share specific things that you enjoy about your spouse and your marriage. Transition to asking how your marriage could be better. Share specific areas that you think need attention or improvement, and ask your spouse if they agree. Share that couples coaching is a good way to create positive change. If your spouse still says no to couples coaching, try asking if they will participate in a 15 minute call with me. Oftentimes, a quick call will show them that I'm not committed to doing things the way you've described.

As entrepreneurs, our natural inclination is to want to put our best foot forward on social media, but building an authentic following is often about being as vulnerable as possible. Today on the show my guest is Jamie Otis, and she joins me to talk about her journey toward vulnerability as a TV personality and social media influencer, and how this connects to her process as an entrepreneur. Jamie is a dynamic American TV personality, registered nurse, entrepreneur, and TV host, having been on shows such as The Bachelor, Bachelor Pad, and Married at First Sight. In this episode, Jamie shares the story of how she ended up being selected to appear on these widely viewed shows and the shame she felt about admitting that she grew up in a trailer park on them. She talks about meeting her husband on Married at First Sight and building a career based partly on their relationship involving the podcast they co-host together – Hot Marriage. Cool Parents. Our conversation covers the inspiration Jamie became to other women after she shared about her background and how this helped her build an audience connected by authenticity and vulnerability. We also get into Jamie's processes during pregnancy and motherhood, moving toward accepting her body, and how she is helping others do the same through her course, Become Body Positive. Be sure to tune into this great conversation all about using your story for a purpose and a business!

Welcome back to Hot Marriage. Cool Parents! In this week's episode, we catch up with both Doug and Jamie. We are currently still in Cortland, New York visiting Jamie's family, and have had to recover from an unfortunate bout of illness that's been doing the rounds! Life is still crazy and we are both very much looking forward to being in one place for more than a few days! After a quick rundown of how our family has been doing, we spend some time on feedback from our listeners. Doug gives a shout-out to an awesome review and shares why he's so grateful when fans connect with him. We also hear a voice note from one of our listeners, who shares a painful story of ectopic pregnancy, and Jamie takes the time to unpack the issue and empathize with how difficult it can be to deal with.

Here at Hot Marriage. Cool Parents. we love finding guests to motivate us to be better spouses, partners, friends, parents, and the list goes on. We are always looking for people with who we really resonate, and Nate and Kaley Klemp are definitely one of those couples! Nate Klemp, Ph.D, and his wife Kaley have impressive education degrees behind their names. Nate received a Ph.D. from Princeton University and Kaley has a Masters in Sociology from Stanford University. Nate is a founding partner of the company, Mindful, and Kaley has been featured on TedX. Despite their skills in education, they often find themselves disagreeing about fairness in marriage, so they worked together to come up with a new model that is grounded on radical generosity and shared success and put those ideas in a book called The 80/80 Marriage. We sometimes struggle with this idea of fairness, especially with Doug becoming a stay-at-home dad, which is why we are SUPER excited to talk to Nate & Kaley allll about this! Before Nate & Kaley come on, Doug tells a crazy story about their day at the circus museum and gives an update on their plans to go back to New Jersey. 12:35 - Welcome to HMCP, Nate & Kaley! Can you share how you met? 13:40 - You talk about in your book and in interviews that there was a sort of "breaking point" in your marriage. Could you tell us a little bit about that and the point where you decided something had to give or something had to change? 16:23 - Is it as easy as a mathematical percentage? 23:07 - What were some of the steps that you guys took to get back on the right track? 24:38 - Could you share a little bit about radical generosity? 29:35 - During your research, was there anything else that was sort of eye-opening for you guys? 36:18 - So if there's a spouse that wants change, they recognize this change, but their partner is kind of selfish and refuses to see any of the issues - what advice do you have for that person? 39:46 - What's some advice that you would give to help couples improve on that control or if someone is struggling with letting go of control? 43:16 - What are some of the things that you guys recommend for couples that are just getting annoyed with each other? 48:59 - For any couples that are listening and realizing that they have some work to do, what would be a good 1st practical step forward? 50:50 - What was the radical gratitude that worked in your relationship moving forward? 53:11 - What are some of your favorite challenges to do live?

A marriage that's holy and undefiled -- without any stain or mark of sin -- is a marriage that will be exhilarating, exciting, and anticipated. Contrarily, expectation, performance-mentality, disappointment...all these are sinful thought-patterns and habits , stemming from selfishness, that poison intimacy in marriages. Here's how you can remove this kind of sin from your marriage and fortify your intimacy with holiness. David Grams Ministries webpage (find resources here too): https://valiantmi.com/store
