What Turns Her Off — and What Godly Husbands Do Instead Have you ever wished you could just…get inside your wife's heart for a moment? Not to manipulate, but to genuinely understand her. To love her in a way that makes her feel safe and wanted—not pressured or confused. My husband Darrow and I sat down to talk through something men rarely get honest insight about: Her biggest turn-offs. And not because we want to shame or scold—but because clarity brings freedom. When you finally understand what shuts her down, you also discover what opens her heart. So take a deep breath.You're not in trouble.You're learning—and that already makes you a good man. Let's walk through these turn-offs together, with God's kindness leading us all the way. 1. When Affection Feels Like a Transaction One of the most common complaints I hear from wives is this: "Every time he does something sweet, it feels like he's trying to get sex." A back rub, a coffee, a hand on her waist, a date night—beautiful gestures—become tainted when she senses they come with an expectation. When affection is only a bridge to the bedroom, she feels: Used Not loved for who she is Like her worth is tied to her sexual availability God never intended marital intimacy to be a negotiation.Love her without a scoreboard. Bless her without an agenda. 2. Grabbing, Pinching, or Smacking Her Body When She's Not Comfortable Yes…wives talk about this. And I know many husbands mean it playfully.But if she doesn't feel safe—emotionally, spiritually, or physically—this kind of touch feels like entitlement, not affection. Her body is not something to be "snatched."She needs room to open, not pressure to surrender. When she feels cherished—not grabbed—she wants to share her body freely. 3. Taking "Not Now" Personally If she says she's tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or simply "not right now," it's almost never about you. But when a husband interprets it as: Rejection Lack of desire "She doesn't love me" …it puts enormous emotional weight on her shoulders. Instead, respond with: "No worries, sweetheart. Another time would be wonderful." That confidence and peace will draw her toward you—not away. 4. Moping After She Says No Emotional sulking is not harmless. Moping communicates: "You disappointed me." "Now I have to punish you with sadness." "You're responsible for my emotions."   This shuts her heart down.Fast. Your steadiness and joy—even when she's not available—makes her feel safe. And safety is the soil where desire grows. 5. Punishing Her for Not Wanting Sex This is one of the deepest wounds wives carry. Punishments include: Silent treatment Withholding affection Moving to another room Being cold or distant Only being "nice" when you want intimacy These behaviors feel manipulative and honestly frightening. Your wife is not the enemy. She is the assignment God entrusted to you. Lead with love, not consequences. 6. Lack of Playfulness Playfulness is essential to intimacy. If everything feels heavy, serious, structured, pressured…then her nervous system never relaxes enough to enjoy being sensual. Silliness is holy ground for a woman's heart. Laughter lowers her guard.Playfulness creates connection. If you want her to be playful in the bedroom, she needs to experience playfulness outside the bedroom. 7. Not Feeling Emotionally Safe Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. I'll say that one more time. Women cannot separate emotional connection from physical intimacy. When she feels emotionally unsafe, her body shuts down. Emotional Safety looks like: Listening Compassion Being slow to speak and quick to understand Responding gently Supporting her heart, not "fixing" immediately  When she feels heard, she opens. 8. Being a "Negative Nellie" (or Negative Ned!) Constant complaining is exhausting and not attractive. It pulls the atmosphere of the home downward and makes her feel like she has to carry your emotional weight. There is space to process hard things—but constant negativity drains the joy God wants in your marriage. Rejoice. Notice blessings. Bring hope into the home. 9. Bitterness and Resentment Long-term resentment is a marriage-killer. Bitterness communicates: "I haven't forgiven you." "You owe me." "I'm still keeping score." This is the opposite of Christlike love. Your wife cannot relax into intimacy with a man who holds her mistakes over her head. Forgiveness clears the ground for closeness to grow again. And if you need a little extra inspiration, let us turn you to Matthew 6:15 (NIV): "But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." 10. Being Too Serious All the Time Intensity has a place—but not every moment. When a man is always stern, rigid, perfectionistic, spiritual-but-heavy…it makes her feel like she can never fully exhale. If she can't be herself around you, she won't be vulnerable with you. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit—not an optional extra. 11. Using Slang or Sexual Words She Doesn't Like Words matter. Some husbands use slang affectionately or playfully.Some wives love it.Others absolutely don't. If slang or sexual language makes her uncomfortable, embarrassed, or unsafe, it becomes a turn-off—not a turn-on. Honor her preferences. You're not losing freedom—you're gaining connection. Final Thoughts: So What Do You Do with All This? If reading this stirs conviction…good. Conviction is not condemnation.The enemy heaps shame.God invites repentance—and repentance leads to freedom. Your wife is God's daughter. And He entrusted her to you. Every shift you make toward loving her well brings you closer to His heart and closer to hers. We're rooting for you!   Blessing, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - If you want help walking this out in real life—not just head knowledge—that's exactly why our coaching and in-person training programs exist.

I also told her about our [IPT] program that same day. Up until then, I had said I was attending a men's bible study. All praise be to God."

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Laughter in the Snow: Capturing the Perfect Christmas Card Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-12-01-23-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Julen nærmede sig, og Niels og Mette var ude på en lidt kold eventyr i København.En: Christmas was approaching, and Niels and Mette were on a slightly chilly adventure in København.Da: De stod foran Den Lille Havfrue, der sad ensom på sin sten ved Langelinie, med havet bølgende bag sig i den klare vinterluft.En: They stood in front of the Den Lille Havfrue, who sat alone on her rock by Langelinie, with the sea rolling behind her in the clear winter air.Da: Et let lag sne dækkede både havfruen og jorden omkring dem.En: A light layer of snow covered both the mermaid and the ground around them.Da: Niels, iført en gigantisk nissehue, prøvede at holde telefonen i den perfekte vinkel.En: Niels, wearing an enormous Santa hat, was trying to hold the phone at the perfect angle.Da: Men det var svært.En: But it was challenging.Da: "Kom nu, Niels," grinede Mette, mens hun trak sin egen hue længere ned om ørerne for at beskytte sig mod kulden.En: "Come on, Niels," Mette laughed as she pulled her own hat further down over her ears to protect herself from the cold.Da: Hun var vant til at tage billeder som fotograf, men Niels insisterede på selv at få det perfekte selfie.En: She was used to taking pictures as a photographer, but Niels insisted on getting the perfect selfie himself.Da: Omkring dem summede andre turister.En: Around them, other tourists buzzed about.Da: Alle havde travlt med at fange øjeblikket af den berømte statue.En: Everyone was busy capturing the moment of the famous statue.Da: Niels blev hurtigt distraheret, da nogen gik lige ind foran hans billede.En: Niels was quickly distracted when someone walked right in front of his picture.Da: "Åh, beklager!"En: "Oh, sorry!"Da: sagde han, mens han forsøgte at ændre vinkel.En: he said, as he tried to change the angle.Da: Mette sukkede, hendes næse var blevet lidt rød af det kolde vejr.En: Mette sighed, her nose had turned slightly red from the cold weather.Da: "Skal jeg ikke bare tage det?"En: "Shouldn't I just take it?"Da: foreslog hun.En: she suggested.Da: Men Niels rystede på hovedet.En: But Niels shook his head.Da: "Det her er vores julekort, jeg vil gøre det rigtigt."En: "This is our Christmas card, I want to do it right."Da: Han tog et skridt tilbage for at få mere af statuen med.En: He took a step back to get more of the statue in.Da: Det næste øjeblik skred hans fod på den glatte sne, og kameraet faldt lige ned i en hvid dynge.En: The next moment, his foot slipped on the slippery snow, and the camera fell right into a white pile.Da: Mette kiggede overrasket, og dernæst brød hun ud i en varm latter.En: Mette looked surprised, and then burst into warm laughter.Da: "Det er okay, vi kan tørre det af," sagde hun, stadig grinende.En: "It's okay, we can wipe it off," she said, still laughing.Da: Niels rejste sig fra sneen, lidt flov men også befriet af øjeblikkets skønhed.En: Niels got up from the snow, a bit embarrassed but also relieved by the beauty of the moment.Da: Efter de havde tørret kameraet nogenlunde af, stillede de sig igen foran havfruen.En: After they had wiped the camera off as much as possible, they stood again in front of the mermaid.Da: Niels, nu også smittet af Mettes latter, knipsede et billede, mens de begge lo som små børn i sneen.En: Niels, now also infected by Mette's laughter, snapped a picture as they both laughed like little kids in the snow.Da: Det perfekte uperfekte billede.En: The perfect imperfect picture.Da: Niels betragtede resultatet.En: Niels looked at the result.Da: "Det her er det," sagde han med en stor smil og tilføjede, "De bedste øjeblikke er de uventede."En: "This is it," he said with a big smile and added, "The best moments are the unexpected ones."Da: Mette nikkede og lagde en arm om ham.En: Mette nodded and put an arm around him.Da: "Ja, du har ret.En: "Yes, you're right.Da: Det er perfekt."En: It's perfect."Da: Med fælles enighed gik de væk fra Den Lille Havfrue, hånd i hånd, klar til at bruge deres ærlige, spontane billede til at sprede julestemning blandt familie og venner.En: In mutual agreement, they walked away from Den Lille Havfrue, hand in hand, ready to use their honest, spontaneous picture to spread Christmas cheer among family and friends.

Send us a textLooking to laugh your way into 2021? You've found the perfect remedy for the chaos of 2020! This special episode of "Stand-Up Comedy, Your Host and Emcee" showcases four legendary comedians who all share one thing in common—they were headliners at Laughs Unlimited before some achieved national fame. Host Scott Edwards brings together a fantastic comedy cocktail of different styles, voices, and approaches to humor that demonstrates the incredible diversity of stand-up comedy.First up is Jeff Jena with his brutally honest reflections on turning 40 and realizing certain dreams will never happen. His observations about finances—how we're all just "cash redistribution centers" who always need "$40 more bucks a week"—will have you nodding in recognition while laughing out loud. Next comes a rare treat: Jay Leno appears both in a vintage TV commercial promoting his Laughs Unlimited appearance and in a segment from David Letterman's show where he plugs his upcoming Sacramento shows. His masterful delivery about American cars and 80s television shows reminds us why he became a household name.Steve Smith follows with political comedy that remains surprisingly fresh nearly thirty years later. His comparison of presidents to the Seven Dwarfs and his breakdown of airline travel anxieties showcase his talent for finding humor in everyday experiences we all recognize.Closing out the showcase is Dennis Miller with one of his trademark intellectual rants about daytime television from his 2000 recording "I Rant, Therefore I Am." His vocabulary-rich takedown of talk shows demonstrates why he carved out such a unique space in comedy.Whether you prefer observational humor, political commentary, or highbrow rants, this episode delivers something to make everyone smile—exactly what we need to start a new year.

 This week's theme music is my original composition, Murderous Biker Escapes to Mexico, and in keeping with that tradition, we discuss our Thanksgiving celebrations as well as Kelly and Danny's time in New York City. What does that have to do with bikers or Murder? ...Listen and find out! Maybe nothing.

Creating a full season of Oakbridge takes dozens of hours in the recording booth—multiple takes, intense scenes, unexpected improvisations, and occasionally… complete chaos. And whenever you put a cast through that much sci-fi suspense and supernatural tension, hilarious things are bound to happen. As a special Black Friday gift to our listeners, we're opening the vault and sharing the moments that didn't make it into the final cut of Season 2. Enjoy a full reel of line flubs, timing misfires, character collapses, uncontrollable laughter, and those beautifully human mistakes that happen when you're trying to record horror at 11 p.m. Sit back, take a break from the Black Friday madness, and enjoy the lighter side of the shadows of Oakbridge. Note: May contain mild language and light spoilers from Season 2. #Oakbridge #OakbridgeAudioDrama #AudioDrama #FictionPodcast #SciFiHorror #HorrorPodcast #SciFiPodcast #BlooperReel #Outtakes #BlackFridaySpecial #97toNowProductions

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Healing Through Laughter on La Rambla: A Family's Reunion Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2025-11-28-08-38-20-ca Story Transcript:Ca: Martí caminava amb pas decidit per La Rambla.En: Martí walked with a determined step along La Rambla.Ca: Al seu costat, les fulles daurades i rovellades de tardor li feien companyia.En: Beside him, the golden and rusted autumn leaves kept him company.Ca: El sol de finals d'octubre escalfava suaument l'ambient, i l'alegria de les veus de turistes i barcelonins omplia l'aire.En: The late October sun gently warmed the surroundings, and the joy of the voices of tourists and barcelonins filled the air.Ca: Martí se sentia responsable.En: Martí felt responsible.Ca: Era l'hora de reunir la família.En: It was time to gather the family.Ca: Al final del carrer, una taula de pícnic els esperava.En: At the end of the street, a picnic table awaited them.Ca: Martí va veure Laia, la seva germana, que havia tornat fa poc de viatjar pel món.En: Martí saw Laia, his sister, who had recently returned from traveling the world.Ca: A prop, el més jove, Nil, remenava els papers de l'esmorzar amb gests incòmodes.En: Nearby, the youngest, Nil, awkwardly shuffled through the breakfast papers.Ca: Martí sabia que aquest retrobament no seria senzill, però calia intentar-ho.En: Martí knew that this reunion wouldn't be easy, but it had to be tried.Ca: Laia somrigué, una mica nerviosa, mentre preparaven els entrepans.En: Laia smiled, a bit nervously, as they prepared the sandwiches.Ca: "És bonic veure'ns tots tres un altre cop", va dir, trencant el silenci, però Martí va notar l'ombra d'antic desig de reconciliació a la seva veu.En: "It's nice to see all three of us together again," she said, breaking the silence, but Martí noticed the shadow of an old desire for reconciliation in her voice.Ca: Nil, assegut a la cadira de plàstic blanc, mirava el terra.En: Nil, sitting on the white plastic chair, stared at the ground.Ca: Martí sabia que el seu germà petit encara sentia la fredor de les discussions passades.En: Martí knew his little brother still felt the chill of past arguments.Ca: Però era moment de sanar velles ferides.En: But it was time to heal old wounds.Ca: A mesura que passava el temps i el sol anava baixant, La Rambla es vestia de llums i colors.En: As time passed and the sun started to set, La Rambla dressed in lights and colors.Ca: L'aroma de castanyes torrades es barrejada amb les rialles dels vianants.En: The aroma of roasted chestnuts mingled with the laughter of passersby.Ca: Tot semblava sortir bé fins que Laia, amb veu tremolosa, va tocar el tema que havien evitat.En: Everything seemed to be going well until Laia, with a trembling voice, touched on the topic they had been avoiding.Ca: "Recordes aquell cop, Martí?En: "Do you remember that time, Martí?"Ca: ", va preguntar, fent al·lusió a una antiga baralla que havia dividit la família.En: she asked, alluding to an old fight that had divided the family.Ca: Nil va aixecar els ulls, preparat per intervenir, però Martí el va aturar.En: Nil lifted his eyes, ready to intervene, but Martí stopped him.Ca: "Sí, ho recordo", va admetre Martí.En: "Yes, I remember," Martí admitted.Ca: "Però avui no es tracta de veure qui tenia la raó.En: "But today isn't about seeing who was right.Ca: Es tracta de deixem-ho enrere i crear records nous".En: It's about leaving it behind and creating new memories."Ca: Laia, amb els ulls humits, va assentir.En: Laia, with moist eyes, nodded.Ca: "Tens raó", va dir.En: "You're right," she said.Ca: "Estic cansada de viure en el passat.En: "I'm tired of living in the past.Ca: Vull que siguem una família de nou".En: I want us to be a family again."Ca: Nil va respirar profundament.En: Nil took a deep breath.Ca: Finalment va trobar la seva veu.En: He finally found his voice.Ca: "Jo també vull això", murmurà.En: "I want that too," he murmured.Ca: Amb els cors més lleugers, les rialles es van tornar naturals.En: With lighter hearts, the laughter became natural.Ca: Laia va explicar històries de l'Índia, Nil va parlar de l'últim partit de futbol i Martí va esmentar plans de futur.En: Laia recounted stories from India, Nil talked about the latest football match, and Martí mentioned future plans.Ca: La conversa va canviar, deixant el passat enrere.En: The conversation shifted, leaving the past behind.Ca: Quan el sol es va amagar darrere de les cases de Barcelona, Martí ho va saber: enfrontar els problemes era millor que evitar-los.En: When the sun hid behind the houses of Barcelona, Martí knew: facing problems was better than avoiding them.Ca: Els germans van prometre, allí mateix, trobar-se més sovint.En: The siblings promised, right there, to meet more often.Ca: I així, entre el bullici de La Rambla i l'aire fresc de la tardor, aquesta família va començar un nou capítol de la seva història.En: And so, amidst the hustle and bustle of La Rambla and the fresh autumn air, this family began a new chapter in their story.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: The Unplanned Magic of a Spa Day: When Chaos Brings Laughter Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-11-28-08-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A napsütés a Gellért Gyógyfürdő gőzölgő vizein táncolt, miközben az őszi levelek aranya tükröződött a medencék felszínén.En: The sunshine danced on the Gellért Gyógyfürdő's steaming waters as the gold of the autumn leaves reflected on the surface of the pools.Hu: Katalin már régóta várta ezt a napot.En: Katalin had been waiting for this day for a long time.Hu: Végre egy szünet a naptárak és határidők világától.En: Finally, a break from the world of schedules and deadlines.Hu: Bence, az örök vidám barát, vele tartott.En: Bence, the eternally cheerful friend, accompanied her.Hu: Úgy gondolta, hogy egy kis móka és nevetés segít majd Katalin-nak kiengedni a gőzt.En: He thought a bit of fun and laughter would help Katalin let off steam.Hu: „Hé, próbáltad már a különleges fürdőpakolást?” – kérdezte Bence, miközben egy kis brosúrát forgatott.En: “Hey, have you tried the special bath wrap?” asked Bence, flipping through a little brochure.Hu: Zoltán, a csendes fürdőalkalmazott, odalépett hozzájuk.En: Zoltán, the quiet spa attendant, approached them.Hu: Egy kis papíron pakoló kezeléseket ajánlott.En: He offered some wrap treatments on a small piece of paper.Hu: Épp hogy csak a fülledt levegő kissé elpirította az arcát.En: The humid air barely flushed his face.Hu: Bence gyorsan akart választani, és talán kissé elhamarkodottan jelentkezett az „ókori iszapkezelésre.”En: Bence wanted to choose quickly and perhaps somewhat hastily signed up for the “ancient mud treatment.”Hu: Katalin, aki szeretett mindent előre tervezni, aggodalmasan nézte ezt a hirtelen döntést.En: Katalin, who liked to plan everything in advance, watched this sudden decision with concern.Hu: „Rendben, akkor az ókori iszapkezelést választjuk!” – mondta Bence lelkesen, és Zoltán bólintott egy kis habozás után, majd eltűnt a kulisszák mögött.En: “Alright, then we choose the ancient mud treatment!” said Bence enthusiastically, and Zoltán nodded after a slight hesitation, then disappeared behind the scenes.Hu: Percekkel később Katalin és Bence feszülten, mégis izgatottan ültek a kezelőszobában.En: Minutes later, Katalin and Bence sat tensely yet excitedly in the treatment room.Hu: A levegő édesen illatos volt a különféle olajoktól.En: The air was sweetly scented from various oils.Hu: Zoltán azonban némi zavarodott arckifejezéssel érkezett vissza, kezével egy apró kanalat fogva, amelyhez némi fehér krém tapadt.En: However, Zoltán appeared back with a somewhat confused expression, holding a small spoon with some white cream sticking to it.Hu: „Ez a pakolás... van valami különleges?” – kérdezte Katalin, próbálva megőrizni nyugalmát.En: “Is this wrap... something special?” Katalin asked, trying to maintain her composure.Hu: Zoltán azonban csak zavartan bámult rájuk, majd megszólalt: „Ó, ez a... modern pakolás, bocsánat, összekevertem.En: But Zoltán only stared at them in confusion before speaking: “Oh, this is the... modern wrap, sorry, I mixed it up.Hu: A másik pakolás már foglalt volt.”En: The other wrap was already booked.”Hu: A szituáció komikus fordulópontjához érkezett, amikor a szomszédos kezelőszobából felhallatszott egy másik vendég nevetése.En: The situation reached a comical turning point when laughter from another guest in the neighboring treatment room was heard.Hu: „El szeretném hagyni a tervezést ma!” – jelentette ki vidáman Bence.En: “I'd like to leave planning behind today!” declared Bence cheerfully.Hu: Katalin ekkor nevetésben tört ki.En: Katalin then burst into laughter.Hu: Ahogy az édesen illatos krém a bőrükön pihent, a hangulat egyszerre oldódott.En: As the sweetly scented cream rested on their skin, the atmosphere relaxed.Hu: Katalin megengedett magának egy mély sóhajt, és rájött, hogy néha a tökéletes nap azzal kezdődik, hogy hagyjuk a sorjákat megborulni.En: Katalin allowed herself a deep sigh and realized that sometimes the perfect day begins with letting plans crumble.Hu: Ahogy hazafelé indultak, Zoltán kedvesen integetett utánuk.En: As they headed home, Zoltán waved kindly after them.Hu: Katalin szívében melegség volt.En: There was warmth in Katalin's heart.Hu: Az apró hibák varázsolták igazán különlegessé ezt a napot.En: The small mistakes made this day truly special.Hu: A fürdő előtt az őszi szellő puhán vonta be a várost, és Katalin úgy érezte, hogy a világ színei ma még ragyogóbbak.En: In front of the spa, the autumn breeze softly enveloped the city, and Katalin felt the colors of the world seemed even more vibrant today.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Santa Suits and Icecapades: A Day of Laughter in Stockholm Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-11-27-08-38-20-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en kylig hösteftermiddag i Stockholm.En: It was a chilly autumn afternoon in Stockholm.Sv: Utomhusrinken var fylld med skratt och rop från glada människor som njöt av den friska luften.En: The outdoor rink was filled with laughter and shouts from happy people enjoying the fresh air.Sv: Ljusslingor glittrade ovanför isen, och det fanns en förväntan i luften inför den kommande julsäsongen.En: Strings of lights twinkled above the ice, and there was an anticipation in the air for the upcoming Christmas season.Sv: Oskar stod vid kanten av isen, en smula nervös men fast besluten.En: Oskar stood at the edge of the ice, a bit nervous but determined.Sv: Hans stora, röda tomtedräkt svajade i vinden.En: His large, red Santa suit fluttered in the wind.Sv: Lena var där, skrinnande graciöst över isen, med ett varmt leende som fick Oskars hjärta att slå snabbare.En: Lena was there, skating gracefully across the ice, with a warm smile that made Oskar's heart beat faster.Sv: Medan Oskar justerade sin tomteluva, tänkte han att detta skulle vara dagen han äntligen imponerade på henne.En: As Oskar adjusted his Santa hat, he thought that this would be the day he finally impressed her.Sv: Hans vän Johan, klädd i en grön alvkostym, stod bredvid honom och skakade på huvudet.En: His friend Johan, dressed in a green elf costume, stood next to him and shook his head.Sv: "Är du säker på det här, Oskar?En: "Are you sure about this, Oskar?"Sv: " frågade Johan tveksamt.En: asked Johan hesitantly.Sv: "Nästan," svarade Oskar med ett stolt flin.En: "Almost," replied Oskar with a proud grin.Sv: "Jag måste visa Lena mina trick.En: "I have to show Lena my tricks."Sv: "Oskar tog ett djupt andetag och klev ut på isen.En: Oskar took a deep breath and stepped onto the ice.Sv: Men han insåg snabbt att dräkten hindrade honom mer än han trott.En: But he quickly realized that the costume hindered him more than he had thought.Sv: Synen var begränsad bakom det stora vita skägget, och tyget kring benen gjorde det svårt att röra sig smidigt.En: His vision was limited behind the large white beard, and the fabric around his legs made it difficult to move smoothly.Sv: Men han bet ihop och började sin skridskotur, vinklande modigt mot Lena.En: But he gritted his teeth and started his skate, bravely gliding towards Lena.Sv: Först gick det bra.En: At first, it went well.Sv: Han glidade fram med hyfsad säkerhet, men när han försökte närma sig Lena med en snurr, gick det snabbt utför.En: He glided forward with decent confidence, but when he tried to approach Lena with a spin, it quickly went downhill.Sv: Det fluffiga skägget täckte hans ögon, och han tappade balansen.En: The fluffy beard covered his eyes, and he lost his balance.Sv: I desperation tog han tag i Johan, och de ramlade båda med ett brak, glidande kors och tvärs över isen.En: In desperation, he grabbed Johan, and they both fell with a crash, sliding across the ice in a criss-cross.Sv: Lena, som hade sett allt från sitt hörn av rinken, kom springande mot dem.En: Lena, who had seen everything from her corner of the rink, came running towards them.Sv: Hennes ansikte var förvånat men snart övergått till ett hjärtligt skratt.En: Her face was surprised but soon turned into a hearty laugh.Sv: "Åh, vad gör ni för något?En: "Oh, what are you two doing?"Sv: "Oskar, nu rödare än sin dräkt, kämpade för att komma på fötter.En: Oskar, now redder than his suit, struggled to get to his feet.Sv: "Jag.En: "I...Sv: jag ville bara visa hur bra jag är på skridskor.En: I just wanted to show how good I am at skating."Sv: ""Det gjorde du verkligen," fnissade Lena och hjälpte honom upp.En: "You really did," giggled Lena and helped him up.Sv: "Men vet du, det roligaste är att ni vågade försöka.En: "But you know, the funniest part is that you dared to try.Sv: Ni är riktigt modiga.En: You're really brave."Sv: "Johan reste sig och skakade snön från sina kläder.En: Johan got up and shook the snow from his clothes.Sv: "Kanske ska vi fira överlevnaden med lite varm choklad?En: "Maybe we should celebrate surviving with some hot chocolate?"Sv: ""Ja," sa Lena, "och nästa gång kanske vi alla glömmer dräkterna.En: "Yes," said Lena, "and maybe next time we'll all forget the costumes."Sv: "Oskar log, fortfarande lite generad men glad över att Lena verkade road.En: Oskar smiled, still a little embarrassed but glad that Lena seemed amused.Sv: De tre gick tillsammans till caféet vid rinken.En: The three of them went together to the café by the rink.Sv: Det var inte tricks eller konstiga dräkter som hade imponerat på Lena, utan Oskars humor och äkthet.En: It wasn't tricks or strange costumes that had impressed Lena, but Oskar's humor and authenticity.Sv: Medan de smuttade på varm choklad, kände Oskar att detta kanske var början på något speciellt.En: As they sipped on hot chocolate, Oskar felt that this might be the beginning of something special.Sv: Och det viktigaste av allt, han hade lärt sig att det var viktigare att vara sig själv – med lite extra mod och mycket skratt kan vem som helst lysa upp någons dag.En: And most importantly, he had learned that it was more important to be himself—with a little extra courage and a lot of laughter, anyone can brighten someone's day.

#199: Holiday gatherings can be beautiful and brutal at the same time, and that's exactly where we spend our time: the messy middle. We unpack a practical, compassionate playbook for handling family dynamics, nosy questions, culture clashes, and the emotional whiplash of going from work mode to “be festive now.”We start with a smarter runway into the season: how to preload gratitude, rest, and realistic expectations so you're not forcing cheer the morning of. From there, we explore the power of duality—holding grief and joy in the same room—and simple ways to honor a loved one who's gone without letting the entire day collapse into sadness. Meeting a partner's family for the first time? We talk about releasing comparisons so different traditions, food, and communication styles don't feel like personal slights.Boundaries are the backbone of peace, so we share clear scripts for when relatives pry about dating, marriage, fertility, money, or your body, plus the best respectful exit line when someone keeps pushing. You'll also learn how to own your triggers before you arrive, why that reduces reactivity, and how to regulate in the moment with quick grounding: feet on the floor, ten slow breaths, and a calm tone that defuses heat. For those navigating loneliness—shared custody, single seasons, or timelines that haven't panned out—we reframe stories that create suffering and show you how to turn empty hours into care, connection, or genuine rest.This is a warm, real, and useful guide for anyone who wants a saner holiday. If you found it helpful, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a pregame pep talk, and leave a quick review to help others find us. What boundary or reframe are you trying first?You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you!

Today we are so excited to share a session from this year's Restore Gathering with Mallory Everton. Mallory is best known for her work on the sketch comedy show Studio C, and in this session, she asks a question she says she's been asking her whole life: do Latter-Day Saints have a problem with laughter? She explores how in the context of spirituality, humor sometimes gets sidelined—dismissed as loud, irreverent, or frivolous. But she really pushes back on that assumption, flipping the idea on its head. Laughter, she argues, isn't a distraction from spiritual life—it's a spiritual practice in its own right. One that roots us in the present, binds us to each other, and softens us toward the divine.She walks us through what actually makes us laugh—and invites us to consider that when Jesus said to become like little children, he may have been pointing us toward a life that's playful, open, and easily delighted. And yes, she tells some unforgettable stories that had the whole room in tears of laughter.This session is available to watch on YouTube, and we definitely recommend checking it out there. If you attended Restore in person, you can rewatch all the sessions for free. Otherwise, recordings are available for purchase at faithmatters.org/restore. And if you'd like to hear more from Mallory, she also co-hosts another Faith Matters podcast called The Soloists—we think you'll love it.Become a paid subscriber to Wayfare Magazine before December 1 to receive Issue 6, the prophecy issue, in the mail!
