Connection Without the Cost: Saving Your Marriage (and Wallet) from Holiday Stress | Ep. 353 Does the holiday season feel like you're looking at a fancy restaurant menu where everything has "$$$$" next to it? You aren't alone. In Episode 353 of the Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies tackle the "Financial Hangover" that ruins January for so many couples. We discuss why consumerism often masquerades as connection and how mismatched expectations (and credit card bills) create deep resentment that explodes once the decorations come down. We dive deep into Love Languages—what happens when one spouse loves giving gifts but the other hates clutter? We also share the "Wrap It Yourself" hack that saves husbands from panic-buying blenders, and why saying "Maybe" is the most dangerous thing you can do in a relationship. On a serious note, we discuss why divorce filings spike in January. It isn't just about the money; it's about the lack of genuine, unplugged time. Tune in for practical, low-cost ways to date your spouse again—from bringing back the "Coupon Book" to conducting "Hallmark Movie Research" on the couch. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The "$$$$" Holiday Trap: How to stop the cycle of spending money you don't have to impress people who don't care. Love Language Clashes: Navigating the friction between a partner who loves "Gifting" and one who prefers "Acts of Service." The "Maybe" Red Flag: Why clear communication ("Yes, I want this" or "No, let's save money") saves marriages. The Divorce Spike: Why lack of face-to-face time is the root cause of recent separations in our circle. Dr. Skip's Best Gift: The story of the signed Bo Jackson bat and thoughtful gifting.

Raising children in the same home doesn't mean raising them the same way. In this episode of Naked and Unashamed, we talk about loving our children loudly—but differently—according to their individual needs. Same values, same foundation, different expressions of love. Because parenting isn't about sameness, it's about seeing, understanding, and responding to each child as the individual they are.

On this beautiful Thanksgiving Day, Dr. Gary Chapman, beloved counselor and author of the Best-Selling 5 Love Languages, sits down with Dr. Zach to explore the deeper work required to build and repair relationships God’s way. This conversation moves beyond the basics of love languages and dives into healing, communication, confession, and forgiveness from a biblical and clinically informed perspective. Dr. Chapman explains how to identify and speak someone’s love language, why apologies must be expressed in multiple “languages” to truly land, and what healthy biblical forgiveness looks like in practice. He unpacks how couples can break painful relational cycles, repair trust without enabling unhealthy behavior, and create daily habits that build long-term connection and emotional intimacy.

In this episode of Encountering You, Laura Williams explores how a well-known relationship tool — Love Languages— can unintentionally create disconnection when used as a rule instead of a reflection of real love. Through the lens of Healing Our Core Issues, Laura unpacks how our love languages often reveal unmet childhood needs and how genuine connection grows through attunement, not performance. You'll learn: Why the Love Languages framework lacks scientific grounding. How love languages can become transactional or controlling. Why attunement, not technique, builds secure attachment. How to shift from “If you loved me…” to “When you do this, I feel close to you.”

This week, Amy and Kat start with a listener voicemail that brings some unexpected joy before diving into underrated love languages that deserve more attention: consistency, attunement, vulnerability, foreplay, and nurture. They also talk about burnout…specifically, the subtle ways it shows up at work and in life. Being “the responsive one” can quietly become part of your identity and why that’s not always something to be proud of. It’s an episode about boundaries, connection, and remembering that responsiveness doesn’t equal value…in work or in love. Sign up for the Feeling Things newsletter HERE! Watch us on Youtube HERE!
