How to Reconcile After a Long Marital SeparationLong separations can feel stable, but that stability can also keep a marriage stuck. Common reactions like waiting indefinitely, pursuing harder, or offering connection without boundaries often make reconciliation less likely. In this episode, Coach Jack explains how to recognize when a separation has plateaued and what can create real movement instead. What You'll Learn: How to tell when a separation is no longer helping the relationship grow  Why connection without boundaries can make indefinite separation easier  What creates motivation for a separated spouse to move toward reconciliation  How to avoid waiting, threatening, or dropping action too soon Want to Work With Coach Jack?: For listeners who want help rebuilding connection while also using healthy boundaries, Coach Jack's Re-Connections Coaching Package helps them move from waiting and hoping into a clearer plan for becoming more desirable, more secure, and more effective in the relationship.Key Takeaways: Long separations can reduce motivation to reconcile.  A plateau means the current approach is no longer creating progress.  Boundaries are necessary when connection alone keeps the separation comfortable.  Moving toward divorce should not be used as a threat.  Reconciliation requires both desirability and the possibility of loss. Additional Resources: Overcome Neediness and Get the Love You Want, bu Jack Ito PhDRe-Connections Coaching PackageGet a consultation with Coach JackWork one-on-one with Coach Jack to repair your relationship using small, easy steps that rebuild connection quickly.

Prayer: I Declare Marital Grace and Unity!"Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2:24Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart overflowing with gratitude. Thank You for the gift of love and relationships. Thank You for weaving our lives together in a beautiful tapestry of grace. Just as Ruth and Boaz exemplified the power of covenant love, I ask You to bless my marriage and those of my family and friends with unwavering unity and mutual honor, as highlighted in Ephesians 5:25-33.Lord, let our communication be infused with grace, much like the gentle whispers of Your presence. In moments of misunderstanding, remind us of Colossians 3:14, where we are called to extend love that binds us together in perfect harmony. Help us to navigate life's challenges with understanding and empathy, ensuring our words uplift rather than tear down. Ephesians 5:30-33 says, for we are members of Christ body. “For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.Protect our hearts from division, O God. As the body relies on various systems to function in harmony, let our marriages thrive through embracing each other's strengths. May we support one another as the cardiovascular system supports vital nourishment and stability, ensuring we stand strong in our commitment.I seek, Lord, Your divine purpose for our unions. Infuse our lives with love, respect, and oneness that mirrors the profound connection between You and Your church. May every act of kindness and affection stimulate oxytocin in our relationships, nurturing deep bonds that can weather any storm.In this sacred moment, I pray: Lord, braid our hearts with Yours, intertwining our spirits in unbreakable love. May we clearly see You at work in our lives, transforming our unions into testimonies of Your faithfulness. Amen. Colossians 3:14 say, "But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection." Amen.https://maglife.org

In Episode 144 of the Married and Connected podcast, host Kameran Alareqi sits down with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst to unpack the startling truth about men, boys, and emotional suppression.With nearly 50 years of experience, Dr. Vanderhorst explains how boys are socialized from infancy to narrow their emotional range and "swallow" their feelings—and how that childhood conditioning directly impacts your marriage today. We cover everything from the preschool phenomenon of emotional boundaries to shedding the "sticky notes" of childhood trauma that don't belong to you. Whether you are 35 or 95, this episode proves it is never too late to grow, expand your emotional vocabulary, and rebuild intimacy in your relationship.In This Episode, We Cover:The Preschool Phenomenon: Why male and female teachers react entirely differently to little boys' emotional and physical boundaries.The Broken Collarbone Story: A powerful example of how society teaches young boys to suppress pain and swallow their feelings.The Marital Disconnect: Why men excel at complex workplace problem-solving but shut down when faced with emotional problem-solving at home.Curiosity vs. Judgment: Why asking "Why do you do it that way?" is actually threatening to your partner, and how to use statements like "Tell me more" to foster real connection.The "Feeling Sheet" Strategy: How placing a simple vocabulary list on your kitchen table can help toddlers, dismissive teenagers, and grown adults identify complex emotions.Shedding Your Sticky Notes: How to use Dr. Vanderhorst's interactive journals to peel off the burdens and childhood injuries that aren't yours to carry.Key Takeaways & Quotes:"One cannot lead down a path that they have never been allowed to walk.""Men swallow feelings... If you express them, you've released it. If you don't express it, you're holding it someplace.""We have all these sticky notes on us and they don't belong to us. We need to start taking them off and letting them drop."Mentioned in this Episode:Website: Visit www.drvanderhorst.com for resources, therapy videos, and to download the free "List of Feelings" sheet.Books: Read, Reflect, Respond and her newest interactive journal, Return, Revisit, Renew (Available on Amazon and local bookstores).Upcoming Book: How to Not F Up Being a FatherSocial Media: Follow Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst on Facebook- gloria.vanderhorst.7, LinkedIn-  gloria-vanderhorst ph-d-730826b/ , and TikTok!Work with Kameran: Ready to bridge the emotional gap in your marriage?

Drift is slow, passive, and creates unwanted distance over time.  Without intentionality, relationships can experience drift. On this episode of Breaking Bread, Kaleb Beyer addresses marital drift. When husbands and wives drift apart. In this episode we will discuss what drift is, what it looks like, and how to close the distance. Show notes:  Marital drift is the slow process of spouses unintentionally becoming distant over time.   What it looks like:  Routines replace intimacy. Relational distance grows.  Small intimate gestures fade.  Spouses act more like roommates than friends.  Spouses love each other but are not connected.  Spouses are increasingly living separate lives.  Closing the distance:  Acknowledge that drift has happened.  Incorporate small acts of love that build intimacy.  Learn about each other's worlds.  Build friendship.  Avoid making negative comparisons of your spouse.  Practice thankfulness.

In this episode, we dive into the powerful insights of Dr. Kim, also known as “The Parentologist,” and her transformative approach to raising emotionally connected, confident children. Drawing from her clinical work and her new book Parenting Through Play, we explore how play is truly the language of childhood—and how, as adults, we often forget its importance.Dr. Kim reminds us that while parents tend to rely on words, children communicate through play. When we meet them in that space, we unlock deeper trust, understanding, and connection. This episode highlights how play isn't just fun—it's a foundational tool for building self-confidence, emotional security, and strong parent-child relationships.We also discuss the importance of validation: seeing our children, hearing them, and responding in ways that foster trust and reciprocity. Dr. Kim offers practical, relatable strategies that feel accessible and real—no overwhelming jargon, just guidance that meets you where you are as a parent.In addition, we touch on a topic that's often overlooked: the parent's own emotional regulation. From navigating the transition between work and home life to managing stress in everyday parenting moments, Dr. Kim provides tools to help you stay grounded so you can show up fully for your children.Whether you're parenting a baby, toddler, or child up to age 12, this episode is packed with meaningful takeaways. If your goal is to build trust, deepen connection, and nurture confidence in your child, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.About Dr. Kim:Dr. Kim is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Play Therapist, author of Parenting Through Play: Creative Strategies for Building Better Behavior, Deeper Connection, and Positive Communication, and host of The Parentologist Podcast. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Sociology from UCLA, a Master's in Broadcast Journalism from Syracuse University, and both a Master's and Doctorate in Psychology with a focus on Marital and Family Therapy.With over 20 years of experience as a public speaker, Dr. Kim has worked extensively in television and radio. Prior to earning her doctorate, she spent five years in Los Angeles as a National Account Manager for Clear Channel Communications, specializing in sales, marketing, and advertising.

His People – 05/01/2026Doug Hanna – on self-forgetfulness in our marital relationships

Dr. Ray is away for a couple weeks, and after a break, Dr. Kay is back to drop a surprise mid-week pod! First, Dr. Kay updates us on Scamanda, with use of examples from the recent episodes of the currently-airing season of Summer House, given what we now know about West and Amanda's relationship. She then used our classic Reality Test approach–the 6 psychologically-focused segments–to discuss other hot topics from Summer House, as well as hot topics from the current seasons of The Valley, Beyond the Villa, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! In the reality TV you watched this past week, what sociopolitical moments did you spot? How was therapy discussed? What did you expect to be a popular topic in the social media halls the next day, only to find no one was talking about it? Dr. Kay answered these questions & more, with discussion of such themes as sexual coercion and post-partum body image in marital/romantic relationships, the impacts of getting reality TV fame, and beauty culture expectations around make-up.

Is your marriage running on empty?

Is your marriage building on a solid foundation or shifting sand? Most couples want a "Godly marriage," but they try to build it without reading the Manual. In this episode, Nathan and Andrea Warnock explore the vital discipline of Bible study...not as a religious chore, but as a strategic necessity. We discuss the move from "Check-the-Box" Christianity to a "Living Liturgy," the importance of personal spiritual intake for both the Head and the Ezer, and how to overcome the "awkward gap" to study effectively as a team. If you want your home to be a mission instead of a management crisis, it's time to get bound by the Book. Marriage By Design is a channel dedicated to digging into God's design for marriage and family - as well as talking practically live that out in our marriages and families. Our goal is to leave you encouraged that you CAN do marriage and family by God's design and to give you HOPE that God IS FOR YOUR MARRIAGE AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

Lyman Stone of the Institute for Family Studies Can Sharing A Last Name Save Your Marriage? It Depends Institute for Family StudiesThe post Surnames and Marital Stability – Lyman Stone, 4/17/26 (1072) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Rae Reid reflects on the joys and challenges of single missionary service. At 43 and single after nearly 12 years in Southeast Asia with Reaching and Teaching, Reid presents an honest assessment of singleness on the mission field. Marital status should never be an excuse to avoid overseas ministry. Single missionaries face unique considerations and opportunities that deserve thoughtful examination rather than dismissal or romanticization. Evaluate whether singleness is truly an obstacle to your calling, and consider the unique strengths single missionaries bring to cross-cultural ministry.

Is your Bible study a chore or a conversation? Most of us know we should read the Word, but few of us know how to study it—especially as a couple. In this episode, Nathan and Andrea Warnock pull back the curtain on their personal and shared rhythms. We're moving past "Check-the-Box" Christianity and into the "Liturgy of the Word." Whether you're a seasoned student or just cracking the spine for the first time, we discuss practical tools for individual growth and how to bridge the gap into studying together without it feeling forced or awkward. It's time to move the Bible from your coffee table to the center of your marriage. Listen to the new episode:

In this deeply meaningful episode of Interviews with Innocence, we welcome Brooke Grove—a complex trauma survivor-thriver, near-death experiencer, former psychotherapist, author, and multidisciplinary integrative healer working in co-creation with Spirit. Brooke's journey bridges both the scientific and spiritual worlds. With advanced degrees in Clinical Psychology, Marital and Family Therapy, and Clinical Art Therapy, she spent years working within traditional psychotherapy before being called into a more expansive path of healing that integrates consciousness, energy medicine, and spiritual guidance. Her work today draws from an extraordinary range of training and experience, including Shamanic Energy Medicine, Quantum Fieldwork, Transpersonal Neuroscience, trauma-informed psychedelic therapy, and psychedelic-assisted integration. Through this multidimensional approach, Brooke helps people explore, transmute, and transform deeply rooted emotional and energetic patterns. During our conversation, Brooke shares how profound life experiences—including trauma and a near-death experience—expanded her understanding of consciousness and opened the door to a deeper partnership with Spirit in her healing work. We also explore the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted healing and the importance of ethical guidance, integration, and spiritual awareness when navigating expanded states of consciousness. In a very personal moment during the episode, I share how Brooke supported me during the passing of my beloved labradoodle, Daisy. Her compassion, presence, and spiritual perspective brought comfort during a tender and emotional time, reminding me that healing and connection often appear when we need them most. This episode is a beautiful exploration of resilience, spiritual awakening, and the ways we can transform life's most challenging moments into opportunities for growth, compassion, and deeper connection. Brooke's upcoming memoir, The Beauty in the Broken Glass, shares her powerful story of trauma, transcendence, and the journey toward healing and light.

In this winsome presentation, Dr. Ken Wilgus uses stories from Genesis to convey a fundamental truth: most men want to feel adequate, and most women seek connection. He explains how this difference tends to block clear communication, and offers advice to improve how we express ourselves to our spouse. He points out that marriage can take some work, but that it is the most important relationship aside from our relationship with the Lord. Both husbands and wives will learn easy habits that can transform a marriage into a thriving, enjoyable relationship! Guests include Dr. Ken Wilgus, Shaunti Feldhahn, Dr. Greg Smalley, Kathi Lipp, Dan Seaborn, Patricia Ashley, and Jay Payleitner!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Justin Gulbrandson from Olathe, KS. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 7:8-16. To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife. To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? — 1 Corinthians 7:8-16 Some passages of Scripture are clean and crisp. This one isn't. Paul is dealing with real people in real situations—singles struggling with desire, marriages under strain, believers married to unbelievers, and relationships where obedience isn't simple or symmetrical. And Paul doesn't flatten the complexity. Instead, he shows us something vital: Our faithfulness is practiced in complicated places. Paul speaks first to singles and widows. Singleness can be a gift—but not everyone is given that assignment. Desire for a relationship isn't spiritual failure. But ignoring the boundaries and parameters is dangerous. For some, faithfulness means remaining single. For others, faithfulness means entering covenant marriage. Then Paul turns to married believers. His counsel is clear and rooted in Jesus' teaching: don't treat divorce as your spiritual escape hatch. Holiness doesn't come from abandoning the covenant when things get hard. But then the situation gets even more complicated. What if you're married to someone who doesn't share your faith? Or what if you made a faith commitment in an existing marriage where your spouse is not a believer? In this instance, Paul doesn't jump to separation. He doesn't demand instant withdrawal. He doesn't spiritualize abandonment, like some do and will. If the unbelieving spouse is willing to stay, Paul says: stay. Your presence matters. Your faith shapes the spiritual environment of the home. God works through covenant faithfulness more often than dramatic exits. But Paul also refuses to turn marriage into a prison cell. If the unbelieving spouse chooses to leave, the believer is not enslaved. God does not call His people to endless relational warfare. God has called you to peace. That line matters. You are responsible for your obedience to God's Word—not outcomes you don't control. You cannot convert your spouse by force, pressure, or guilt. Faithfulness is not the same as control. Then Paul ends with holy expectation: "How do you know… whether you will save your spouse?" In other words, trust God with what only God can do. This section teaches us something important that some believers forget—obedience isn't always dramatic. Sometimes it looks like staying. Sometimes it looks like releasing. But it always looks like faithfulness, obedience, and trust in God's work beyond our control. Faithfulness is practiced in complicated places. DO THIS: Name your current relational reality honestly before God—without minimizing it or dramatizing it. Ask Him what faithfulness looks like here, not somewhere else. ASK THIS: Where am I tempted to escape rather than obey? How can I pursue peace without compromising holiness? What outcome am I trying to control that I need to entrust to God? PRAY THIS: Father, You see the complexity of my relationships. Give me wisdom to know when to stay faithful, when to pursue peace, and when to trust You with outcomes beyond my control. Teach me obedience that honors You in hard places. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Trust in God"

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 7:1-7. Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Now as a concession, not a command, I say this. I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. — 1 Corinthians 7:1-7 Corinth celebrated sexual indulgence as entertainment, expression, escape, and even religion. Sex was merely a convenience—not commitment. But Paul doesn't invent a new sexual ethic here. He reaffirms the historic, biblical blueprint of marriage. The sexual ethic the Corinthians had forgotten: Sex belongs in monogamy. Sex outside marriage violates the covenant. Sex inside marriage is a shared responsibility—not one-sided. Here is how he starts: "But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband." — Cor. 7:2 Our sexual desires aren't the problem. Dislocation of sexual desires from the covenant is the core problem. God created us with sexual desires. He is very much pro-sex, but he is also pro-covenant and designed our sexual desires and sexual acts for inside the covenant, not outside it. Sex in the wrong place fractures the plan and design of God and impacts you and others. But sex in the right place fortifies. And then Paul goes where no Greco-Roman man expected him to go: "The husband should give to his wife… and likewise the wife to her husband." — Cor. 7:3 This isn't Paul trying his hand at sex therapy like Dr. Ruth Westheimer—it was ancient biblical wisdom: Her needs matter. His needs matter. Her authority matters. His authority matters. Paul's words shatter the cultural norm: "The wife does not have authority over her own body… likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body." — Cor. 7:4 He is not suggesting domination—sexual devotion. He is not suggesting ownership—sexual surrender. He is not suggesting power—sexual partnership. He is dispelling the myth that sex was designed to be a bargaining chip, a tool of control, or a means of manipulation. It was designed to be a covenant bond. That's why Paul warns: "Do not deprive one another… so that Satan may not tempt you." — Cor. 7:5 Withholding doesn't heal—it harms. Distance doesn't purify—it exposes. Neglect doesn't strengthen—it weakens. Paul is not condemning couples in sexless seasons that they did not choose. He is confronting sexless marriages created by indifference, resentment, avoidance, or false holiness. When intimacy disappears by choice rather than circumstance, the marriage weakens—and temptation looks for an opening. Marital intimacy is spiritual protection. A safeguard. A shared shield against temptation. Then, finally in verse 7, he says: "Each has his own gift from God…" — Cor. 7:7 Marriage is a gift. Singleness is a gift. The assignment differs—the grace is the same. So Paul pulls it all together: Desire matters. Marriage matters. Holiness matters. And God designed them to work together. Sex outside marriage fractures. Sex inside marriage fortifies. Because God made desire holy—and He placed it inside the covenant for our good. DO THIS: Invest intentionally in your marriage today: initiate a needed conversation, express affection, schedule time together, or remove a distraction that's weakening your connection. ASK THIS: Where have I treated desire as convenience rather than covenant? How can I serve my spouse (or future spouse) with greater mutuality and intentionality? What part of my understanding of sex or marriage needs to realign with God's design? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for designing desire with purpose and placing it inside the covenant for our good. Teach me to honor You—whether married or single—with purity, mutuality, and devotion. Strengthen marriages, protect hearts, and anchor us in Your design. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Goodness of God"
