This month is going over probably my favorite happiness activity that comes out of The How of Happiness by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky  and that's nurturing social relationships. I personally am an extravert and love being connected with people. However, I have found this harder to do as I've gotten older.  We all get busy with our lives and time can seem to fly by. I'll notice it has been months since I chatted with a friend. Prepping this episode has prompted me to reach out to several people, as I mention in the episode. I hope it also prompts you to reach out to a friend or loved one you haven't connected with in a while. It's likely to boost your, and their, happiness. In this episode, we dive into:Why connection is a biological and emotional necessityHow small expressions of gratitude can transform your marriage or partnershipThe surprising truth about happy couples and the 5:1 ratioHow to shift your mindset when a loved one disappoints youThe Four Horsemen of unhappy relationships—and how to avoid themWays to celebrate good news with others and deepen connectionIf you're looking to feel more supported, loved, and joyful in your everyday life, this episode offers practical strategies backed by research—and delivered with compassion.Books Mentioned:The How of Happiness by Sonja LyubomirskyThe Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by Dr. John GottmanPlease subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.

What does it take to keep a Marriage fresh and exciting? Is that even possible. From the happily married couple who have NEVER lived together, to the Parents of SIX kids who are still as loved up as the day they met… we investigate the secrets of being happily married.

Send us a textWhat happens when a marriage teeters on the edge of collapse? Ken and Tabatha Claytor don't hold back as they reveal the raw truth about their first two years of marriage—when Ken had already planned to divorce Tabitha and she was battling severe depression. This powerful episode takes you on their 25-year journey from those desperate early days to the thriving relationship they enjoy today. With refreshing honesty, they share how Tabitha's miraculous deliverance from depression became a turning point, allowing her to "pump the brakes" on their divorce and begin rebuilding what seemed irreparably broken.The Claytors distill their hard-won wisdom into three essential principles that have transformed their marriage: making your spouse your absolute priority (yes, even above your children), building unshakable trustworthiness, and developing effective communication skills. They offer practical strategies for each principle, from establishing boundaries that protect your marriage to creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations.Their discussion on trustworthiness is particularly revealing as Tabatha shares what has built her confidence in Ken over the decades—his authentic relationship with God behind closed doors and his consistent character across all settings. Meanwhile, their playful back-and-forth about returning text messages demonstrates how even the strongest marriages navigate everyday frustrations.Whether you're struggling to save a troubled relationship or simply want to strengthen an already good marriage, this episode delivers hope and practical tools you can implement immediately. As Ken powerfully reminds us, "It doesn't matter how bad your marriage might seem right now. There's a better day ahead."GET THE BETTER MARRIAGE BOOTCAMP HERE:Better Marriage Bootcamp (kenandtabatha.com)Better Marriage 90-Day Devotional:90 Day Better Marriage Devotional - Ken and Tabatha (square.site)DOWNLOAD THE FAMILY MEETING OUTLINE HERE ⬇️https://www.kenandtabatha.com/pl/2148103888Support Our Ministry: https://myalivechurch.org/giveConnect with us:- Website:https://www.kenclaytor.comhttps://www.tabathaclaytor.comhttps://www.myalivechurch.org- Socials:Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/kenclaytor/https://www.instagram.com/tabathaclaytor/https://www.instagram.com/myalivechurch/TikTok-@Ken_Claytor@Tabathaclaytor@myalivechurchFacebook-https://www.facebook.com/PastorKenClaytorhttps://www.facebook.com/pastortabathaclaytorhttps://www.facebook.com/myalivechurch- Ask us questions: info@kenandtabatha.com

How can couples maintain a strong marriage through both simple daily interactions and handling bigger challenges? In this Valentine's month, host Rebecca Greene and her husband Seth discuss Dr. John Gottman's seven principles for making marriage work, sharing their experiences and insights from their 21-year relationship and a recent marriage workshop they attended. They explore how these principles play out in real-life situations, from handling communication challenges to building shared meaning as a couple. Key Takeaways:  ➞ Love maps are dynamic and require continuous updating as partners grow and change - couples need to stay curious about their partner's evolving interests, preferences, and dreams ➞ "Turning towards" your partner in daily moments of attempted connection is crucial - even small acknowledgments of your partner's comments or concerns build emotional bank accounts ➞ Taking a 20-minute "adult timeout" when emotionally flooded helps partners regulate and return to discussions more productively ➞ Having a 5:1 ratio of positive to negative interactions helps maintain relationship health and emotional connection ➞ Creating shared meaning through rituals, goals, and activities (like reading the same books) strengthens the relationship's foundation Memorable Quotes: Rebecca Greene: "I think I have a secret decoder ring for marriage...and I think that the code is to really like your partner. We love them, we fell in love with them, we need to stay in love with them. But I like who Seth is." Seth Greene: "I learned that all those times of us mentioning stuff during the day is us attempting to connect with each other, and if we respond, then we're putting deposits into our emotions." How to Connect: Website: https://www.whinypaluza.com/ Facebook Group: Whinypaluza Mom Newsletter: https://whinypaluza.beehiiv.com/ Follow https://linktr.ee/whinypaluzamom The episode provides practical relationship wisdom by combining research-based principles with real-life examples from Rebecca and Seth's marriage, giving listeners actionable insights for strengthening their own relationships.

Episode 2465: David and Constantino Khalaf share their own experiences as an introverted couple navigating these differences, showing how open communication, trust, and small acts of kindness can help partners meet each other's needs without resentment. By embracing their differences rather than resisting them, they've learned to strengthen their relationship and build a deeper emotional connection. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.gottman.com/blog/dance-intimacy-independence-marriage/ Quotes to ponder: “There are times when you feel drawn to your loved one and times when you feel the need to pull back and replenish your sense of autonomy.” “If David ignores his need for independence, the abundance of intimacy begins to breed resentment.” “Viewing it as a dance rather than a tug of war reminds us to collaborate to meet each other's needs rather than fight to preserve our own.” Episode references: The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0553447718 Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's episode features Paula Holt, the founder of Practically Married. Paula has worked to build resources for the community that support healthy and happy marriages. She joined our show to talk about the often missing communication opportunities in both marriage and the engagement process, including but not just limited to finances. This conversation was one that we believe in so deeply - communication as a couple is a priority for us in our marriage and we want to share those resources with others. Enjoy!   In this episode, we chat about: Recognizing where our partner comes from Facilitating healthy money conversations Shared goals in a successful marriage   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Article regarding couples merging finances CONNECT WITH TODAY'S GUEST:  My interest in marriage began more than 15 years ago leading me to pursue certifications in premier marriage education programs including The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work and Bringing Baby Home from The Gottman Institute, Prepare/Enrich®, and Couple Communication. I later launched the award-winning blog Marital Musings and wrote for the wedding website Style Me Pretty. I was inspired to launch Practically Married when I noticed a lack of accessible marriage preparation tools. In the development process, I consulted with numerous therapists through my affiliation with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), and gathered extensive feedback from beta-testing couples. Prior to running Practically Married, I graduated from Stanford University and earned an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. I'm also a wife, mother of two, podcast enthusiast, aspiring tennis player, and a beast on the dance floor (if I do say so myself).

Loneliness and disconnection in relationships can often stem from unmet needs for emotional connection. When one partner reaches out for support, validation, or understanding, and their bids go unnoticed or ignored, it can lead to feelings of isolation and alienation. This lack of responsiveness can create a sense of being unheard or unseen, deepening the emotional distance between partners. Over time, repeated instances of unmet bids can erode trust and intimacy, leaving individuals feeling unfulfilled and disconnected in their relationship. In this episode, Laura Heck and Dr. Jessica Higgins delve into the importance of turning towards your partner in a relationship to address feelings of loneliness and disconnection. By understanding the bidding system in relationships and learning to respond with empathy and curiosity, individuals can build stronger connections with their partners. This episode emphasizes the significance of acknowledging past traumas, developing new skills, and fostering grace and understanding to overcome emotional barriers and create a more fulfilling and intimate partnership. Laura Heck is a licensed marriage and family therapist, Certified Gottman Therapist, co-host of Marriage Therapy Radio, and host of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work workshop for couples. She speaks and trains for The Gottman Institute and is a regular media expert on the topic of intimate relationships. Check out the transcript of this episode on Dr. Jessica Higgin's website. In this episode 05:30 Laura Heck's journey into relationship support. 11:22 Understanding bids for connection in relationships. 16:27 Importance of positive to negative ratios in relationships. 21:23 Exploring bids and responses in relationship dynamics. 26:03 Understanding shutting down in relationships. 31:37 Responding to criticism and harsh startups. 33:18 Repairing miscommunications and misunderstandings. 42:32 Building compassion and empathy in relationships. 45:16 Addressing trust and misunderstandings in relationships.
