In this powerful episode, we unpack the top predictor of marital success based on brand-new research shared by Les Parrott at a recent marriage conference: perceived partner commitment. What does that mean, and how do you build it?We break down the difference between commitment busters and commitment builders—everything from separate bank accounts and secrets to road trips and red lipstick moments. We share insights from 30 years of marriage, including personal stories, scriptures, and the hard lessons we've learned the long way. Whether you're just starting out or decades in, this episode will encourage you to build the kind of marriage that lasts—one built on intentional, everyday commitment.

I first got to know Les and Leslie when they moved to Seattle in the late 80s. They became important friends and mentors for Debbie and me while we were dating and in our first years of marriage. Like me, Les is a pastor's kid and he was a significant influence and source of encouragement for me as I considered pursuing an advanced degree. Deb and I are both deeply thankful for our friendship with both Les and Leslie and are incredibly grateful for the way God has used them both and the platform God has given to themLes and I have a conversation about SYMBIS – how it came to be and how it is still shaping couples today. We also talk about two or three of my favorite books of his. Creating this podcast has been a great opportunity to make some new friends, but it has also been delightful to catch up with some long-time friends too. I have learned a lot from Les across the years, and he has helped me help several couples get off to a good start together. I think you will enjoy and be blessed sitting in on this conversation between two (increasing) old friends.

“If you try to build intimacy with another person before you've done the difficult work of getting whole on your own, all your relationships become an attempt to complete yourself.” – Dr. Les Parrott Your relationships with other people are only as strong as you are. In this episode, Brian talks to best-selling author and relationship expert Dr. Les Parrott about his new book, “Healthy Me, Healthy Us,” and discovers why the single most important thing you can do to improve your relationships is to become a whole and healthy individual yourself. Topics discussed include how Les and his wife Leslie have worked together for decades to help improve people’s relationships, including cofounding the dating website eharmony.com; the importance of humility and getting feedback from others; and the value of conflict and fighting fair.   YOU WILL LEARN: Why profound significance is so vital.

So, when it comes to honoring the relationships in your life, how do you speak the truth and be loving instead of harsh? Here’s a rule of thumb I like to use in my relationships: the Golden Rule. Treat others as you would want to be treated. It's so simple, right? But it's so hard to do because you can't control how someone treats you. What you can control is how you treat them. You can do unto others as you would have them do unto you. To break it down even further, here are three really simple and tactical things you can do to put the Golden Rule into practice when it comes to your relationships: Appreciate everything. Believe the best. Communicate everything.   Here’s the Real Problem With Your Relationships with Les Parrott Today on the show, I’m chatting with my good friend and bestselling author Les Parrott. Les just published a new book called Healthy Me, Healthy Us. I’m loving it, and I know you will too. Les and I talked about his new book and what it looks like to honor your relationships. Here are a few highlights: Our relationships can only be as healthy as we are. Every one of us has a choice to change. Instead of finding the right person, we need to focus on becoming the right person. We have to overcome the “disease to please.” It’s essential that we learn to live with empathy.   Are You Getting This Right? “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” — Matthew 7:12 (NIV) We've been talking a lot about honoring your relationships. We know we can't control other people, but we can control ourselves. So, I want to ask you a few questions to help you put this into practice: When is it really hard for you to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you?” What type of person do you want to be? What are the characteristics that you want to display? Write down five. How can you practice those qualities (even when it's hard)? Write down some different things that are going to help you actually live that out. What are some ways you see God shaping you?
