In Episode 84 of Operation: Thriving Marriage, Bryon and Jen Harvey dive into a trending concept from Gen Z culture: “Main Character Energy.” Bryon kicks off the conversation by sharing how he came across the term and what it means—seeing yourself as the central figure in every situation. Jen offers insight into how this mindset can subtly affect relationships, especially in the context of marriage. In marriage, “main character energy” often shows up as self-centered responses to your spouse's honest communication. For example, one spouse might express a want or need, only for the other spouse to spiral into self-doubt, guilt, or defensiveness. Instead of hearing the concern for what it is, the response becomes about personal failure—how they aren't measuring up. Bryon shares how he used to feel inadequate when Jen needed to talk to her friends, misinterpreting her need for community as a sign he wasn't enough. But the truth is: It's not always about you. Sometimes your spouse just needs to express themselves, and it's not a reflection on your performance as a husband or wife. Bryon and Jen discuss how even negative self-focus is still a form of pride—it centers the conversation on you, rather than your partner. Jen highlights Philippians 2:3 (NET): “Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.” They also quote Rick Warren's famous line: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself. It's thinking about yourself less.” This mindset shift is essential for healthy, God-honoring communication. When your spouse shares a concern, the most loving response is to listen without reacting defensively. Practice active listening without trying to fix the problem right away. In many cases, your spouse may just need a listening ear. And when your spouse is asking for a change in attitude or action, view it as a gift—not a criticism. They're giving you a clear way to love them better. It's also important not to spiral into insecurity. Remind yourself: your spouse loves you, chose you, and continues to say yes to you daily. Trust that if they need something specific from you, they'll communicate it directly. And for the spouse who's expressing a concern—don't drop hints. Be clear and direct. Marriage isn't a guessing game; it's a safe, sacred space to speak openly and specifically. The episode wraps up with this truth: Main character energy destroys many relationships. Yes, you are vitally important to your spouse. But not everything is about you. When your spouse shares a concern, let it be their concern. Support them, listen, and trust that love grows when we stop making ourselves the center of every story. Operation: Thriving Marriage continues to help couples build stronger, Christ-centered relationships—together. Don't forget to subscribe and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it!

In Episode 84 of Operation: Thriving Marriage, Bryon and Jen Harvey dive into an important truth: there are no perfect marriages. While we often focus on communication and addressing issues, today's episode explores why unpacking every problem can sometimes do more harm than good in your relationship.   Many couples fall into the trap of thinking they need to discuss and fix every little irritation. But over-unpacking issues can create unnecessary friction, add pressure to be “perfect,” and even bury the good parts of your marriage under a mountain of complaints. Instead of helping, this approach often decreases authentic communication. Usually, one spouse brings up the majority of the concerns, while the other feels overwhelmed and eventually shuts down. Even if the conversation continues, real communication often stops. Over-processing can also turn into a subtle form of control—an attempt to mold your spouse into someone they aren't—and creates unrealistic expectations for what a marriage should look like.   Bryon and Jen are honest about how even Operation: Thriving Marriage might unintentionally contribute to this mindset by encouraging open conversations. While talking through important things is crucial, talking about everything will eventually mean fixing nothing.   The solution? Focus on connection over correction. Jen shares a personal story about talking to her friend Bev during a stressful time when Bryon wasn't meeting her expectations around housework while she was pregnant. That experience highlighted a key insight: the goal of marriage isn't to fix each other—it's to stay deeply connected.   When couples focus on building connection, they find their relationship becomes naturally stronger and healthier. In high-connection marriages, daily tasks like doing the dishes, feeding the cat, or walking the dog don't spark arguments. Instead, spouses step up to help without being asked, and responsibilities even out over time. One partner may handle more chores inside the home, while the other takes on more outside responsibilities—but there's a spirit of teamwork rather than scorekeeping.   Bryon and Jen encourage listeners to maximize small moments of connection throughout the day: holding hands, sharing a quick touch, doing chores side-by-side, or running errands together. Sometimes, the best way to “fix” a small annoyance is simply to take care of it yourself—whether that's wiping up toothpaste, putting away a glass, or hanging up the keys—without making it a battle.   Importantly, this doesn't mean ignoring major problems in your marriage. Serious issues should absolutely be addressed. But it does mean prioritizing wisely, and not allowing minor annoyances to grow into major conflicts simply because they were overthought or over-discussed.   Bryon and Jen close the episode with a powerful reminder from Scripture. Ephesians 4:1-3 (NET) says:   “I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”   Although Paul originally wrote these words about relationships within the church, the principle is vital for marriage too. By approaching each other with humility, gentleness, patience, and love, couples can work together to maintain the unity and peace that God designed marriage to reflect.   If you've ever felt like you had to fix every small frustration to have a great marriage, this episode is for you. No Perfect Marriages offers practical, faith-based advice for focusing on what matters most—building a marriage filled with connection, grace, and peace.   Be sure to subscribe to Operation: Thriving Marriage for more real, encouraging conversations about how to build a marriage that not only survives, but thrives

In Episode 82 of Operation: Thriving Marriage, Bryon and Jen Harvey tackle a topic that hits close to home for nearly every couple: how mishandling money can sabotage your marriage. Bryon begins the conversation by asking Jen, “You deal with a lot of different family issues as a lawyer. What do you see as the biggest contributor to strife in marriage?” Drawing on both professional and personal experience, Jen explains that while financial stress is a common challenge, it's really about how couples connect—or fail to connect—through that stress. Money is emotionally charged. It touches everything: our goals, our upbringing, our values, and our sense of security. When couples don't know how to talk about money or approach it as a team, the consequences can be devastating.   Referencing a 2024 Fidelity study, Bryon and Jen note that 45% of couples argue about money at least occasionally, and 25% say money is the number one challenge in their marriage. Clearly, finances are a serious issue. But rather than focusing on surface-level fixes, this episode digs into the root causes of money-related tension in relationships and offers biblical, research-backed solutions for building financial unity in marriage.   One of the biggest takeaways from the episode is the importance of combining bank accounts. According to multiple studies, couples who combine their finances report higher levels of satisfaction in their marriage. It's not just about practicality—it's about unity. When you have a shared account, you're forced to communicate, collaborate, and create financial goals together, whether that's saving for a home, planning for retirement, or managing everyday expenses. On the flip side, keeping separate accounts can breed suspicion, secrecy, and division. Bryon sums it up with a powerful statement: “If you can share a bed, you can share a bank account.”   Another major factor that undermines financial harmony is what Bryon and Jen call “unexpectations”—the unspoken beliefs, habits, and assumptions we bring into marriage without ever realizing it. These come from our families of origin, our experiences before marriage, and even what we absorb from media, television shows, podcasts, and celebrity financial advisors. When couples don't talk about these expectations, they become invisible barriers that block trust and intimacy.   The episode also reminds listeners that expenses will inevitably increase over time. Whether it's the cost of raising children, adjusting to a higher standard of living, or dealing with inflation, planning ahead is essential. Couples who don't anticipate financial changes often find themselves overwhelmed and reactive, which only adds to the strain.   One of the more sensitive but critical points Bryon and Jen address is the role extended family can play in sabotaging financial unity. While it's perfectly okay to seek wise counsel from parents or friends, your financial decisions should be made by you and your spouse alone. It's crucial to establish boundaries, especially with in-laws, and to never share financial information with anyone your spouse isn't comfortable with. Financial privacy and unity go hand in hand.   As the conversation draws to a close, Bryon and Jen bring it back to a biblical perspective. Money is one of the greatest competitors for our loyalty to God. Jesus said, “You cannot serve both God and money” (Matthew 6:24), and Paul warned that “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). The goal of marriage isn't just happiness—it's holiness. God gives us marriage as a way to grow more like Christ, and learning to manage money together is a key part of that journey. When couples are faithful with the little they've been given, they position themselves to be entrusted with more—and to one day hear those words from Jesus: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”   Whether you're newly married or decades in, this episode offers valuable insight and practical steps for cultivating financial unity in your relationship. If you've ever argued about money, kept financial secrets, or felt misunderstood by your spouse about money matters, Episode 83 is a must-listen. Bryon and Jen combine biblical wisdom, real-life experience, and research-backed advice to help you avoid the common traps that sabotage marriages—and to build a thriving relationship grounded in trust, transparency, and shared purpose.   Subscribe to Operation: Thriving Marriage on your favorite podcast platform and share this episode with someone who could use a fresh perspective on faith and finances in marriage.

In this second part of our HHN 32 celebration, the pod squad goes through the twisted task called "choose thy rank." We made some dark deals and offerings to narrow down, and though at times we thought ranking these killer houses would be the last of us, we believed, we saw it through, and now we're ready to unmask our top 10 houses of the event. We have our ultimate run counts, just for chuckles!

In the first part of our celebration of Universal Orlando's HHN 32, the pod squad looks back and ranks the scare zones this year. Together these zones told the twisted origins of this year's icon, Dr. Oddfellow, and brought forth unique terrors, killer vibes, and icons of their own. Could it be our favorite year of scare zones?
