If you've ever side-eyed church culture and thought, “This can't be what Jesus had in mind,” you're not alone. In this episode, we dig into Christianity After Religion by Diana Butler Bass and talk about why the old way of doing church is crumbling—and why that's actually good news. If you're tired of toxic religion but still crave something real, this conversation will give you hope, validation, and maybe even a little fire to keep going.Join the Flying Higher Butterflies as we study the Bible, read books together, coach, and do classes in a live mentorship online setting each week! 

Today's episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast is all about navigating stress cycles—because let's be real, the world is a lot right now. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, shaken, or just plain exhausted, I want you to know: you are not alone. This conversation is a warm hug and a deep breath all rolled into one. We'll talk about what stress cycles are, why they're a completely natural part of being human, and—most importantly—how we can move through them with more ease, grace, and self-compassion.  You'll learn about: The four main stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, and appease) and how they show up in your daily life—especially in relationships. How to tell the difference between actual danger and perceived danger, so you can respond with clarity rather than panic. Why “getting back home” matters—and the simple, grounding practices that can help you reset when stress takes over. The power of awareness in managing your stress cycle (because you can't manage what you don't measure!). Why your stress response is not a problem to fix, but rather a wise signal from your body that deserves attention and care. One of the biggest takeaways? You are not wrong for feeling stressed. You are not failing because you have big emotions. You are a human, living in a complex world, doing your best. And sometimes, the best thing we can do is pause, breathe, and come back to ourselves with love. So, grab a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and let's dive into this conversation together. I hope it brings you the peace and reassurance you need today.

#582: They had it all. Six thriving children. A 40-year marriage. A household income of $200,000. Then in her 60s, she discovered a shocking truth: he had gambled away their entire retirement savings in penny stocks.  She had no access to their financial accounts during the marriage. After divorcing, she was left with nearly nothing. Today, she relies on her adult kids for support. Harvard-trained family law attorney Aaron Thomas joins us for a Valentine's Day discussion about prenuptial agreements — not just as divorce insurance, but as a framework for building stronger marriages. Thomas is a three-time winner of Atlanta's Best Divorce Attorney and a leading expert in family law. He's the founder of prenups.com and authored The Prenup Prescription. Thomas explains that every married couple already has a prenup by default: their state's laws. In 41 states, judges have broad discretion in dividing assets "equitably" — which might mean a 70-30 split rather than 50-50. The remaining nine states are community property states, where assets are typically split equally. But even in community property states, determining what qualifies as joint property can spark fierce debate. For example: if you entered marriage with $100,000 in a 401(k) and continued contributing during the marriage, how much belongs to you vs. the marriage? What about a home you owned before marriage, but your spouse helped pay the mortgage? To prevent financial surprises, Thomas recommends couples hold "annual shareholder meetings" to review finances together. He suggests creating three buckets — yours, mine and ours — with clear agreements about spending. For example, his prenup requires both spouses to approve joint account purchases over $500. Beyond asset division, prenups can include requirements like marriage counseling before filing for divorce, or mediation if custody disputes arise. While prenups can't determine child custody or support payments, they can establish frameworks for working through conflict. The biggest benefit, Thomas argues, isn't protecting yourself in case of divorce — it's creating clarity and communication during marriage. By having difficult conversations upfront about money, expectations and conflict resolution, couples build stronger foundations for lasting partnerships. Listen to this episode to hear our full conversation about how prenups can strengthen marriages, prevent costly court battles, and help couples align on money management from day one.

Send us a textEp. 197 - This is a replay. Let's be honest. Valentine's Day isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Regardless of what we see on the Hallmark Channel, rarely do things turn out that perfectly. In singleness, we often feel bummed because we don't have that special someone. Then in marriage, we often feel bummed because our special day isn't turning out to be as romantic as we'd imagined! We can attest to feeling both of these ways. In today's episode, we're going to spill the beans and tell you about our worst and best Valentine's Days ever. Then, we're going to get honest about how we can all benefit from pursuing a more Christ-centered "Agape love" this Valentin'e Day and ditching the shallow version of "Hallmark Love."To take a deeper dive into all things love, romance, dating and marriage, check out our book, Love Defined: Discovering God's Vision for Lasting Love and Satisfying Relationships Support the showJOIN US ON PATREON FOLLOW US:GirlDefined.comInstagram YouTube

Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind What if I told you that the secret to a thriving marriage isn't found in a heart-shaped box of chocolates or an overpriced Valentine's dinner? After years of coaching men and making my own mistakes, I've discovered that the real magic happens in those ordinary moments we usually take for granted. In this week's Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, I'm diving into both the challenges and opportunities that Valentine's Day presents. While I acknowledge the stress and commercialization of the holiday, I want to share five unique date ideas that can strengthen your relationship year-round. The key isn't in grand, one-time gestures. But in consistent, small actions that make our marriages fulfilling every single day, not just on February 14th. www.thedadedge.com/friday195 www.dadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance

“Let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.” - Ephesians 5:33Love and respect are often conveyed in the words that spouses choose to communicate. Those words can have a big impact on the marriage relationship. Kathleen Edelman joins us to discuss choosing the right words for your spouse.Kathleen Edelman is the author of “I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication.” She is certified in biblical studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over thirty years coaching clients in communication.The Key to Healthy Communication in MarriageCommunication styles are the key to understanding one another. There's a big gray area between what we say and what our spouse hears. Each temperament speaks its own language, and we must apply it to become fluent in our spouse's language.Many marital conflicts appear to be about money, parenting, or household responsibilities, but at their core, they stem from miscommunication. Recognizing that your spouse's temperament affects how they express and receive information is the first step toward reducing misunderstandings.One of the biggest communication pitfalls is assumption—assuming that your spouse speaks and understands your language. That's not true. We each speak our own language and must become fluent in our spouse's language.Another common trap is operating out of our weaknesses rather than our strengths. Ask yourself: “What part did I play in this miscommunication?”“How can I choose differently to stay in my strengths?”Most miscommunication is not intentional, she emphasizes. Rather, it's a result of speaking different emotional and verbal languages.The Power of Words: Choosing to Build Up, Not Tear DownEphesians 4:29 reminds us:"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."Our words hold incredible power. They can either build up or tear down our spouse. Learning to communicate in a way that blesses rather than wounds is a game changer in marriage.Listening is a critical skill in communication, and there are three key practices for improving it:The Power of the Pause—Before responding, take a moment to reflect. Instead of reacting to what was said, focus on why it was said. Listening to Understand—Rather than formulating your response while your spouse is talking, actively listen to grasp their perspective. Responding, Not Reacting—Choose words carefully, ensuring they are constructive rather than defensive.We should desire that every word that comes out of our mouths be a gift to the person we speak to.Of course, it's also crucial to remember that communication is more than words—it includes body language, tone, and facial expressions. Our temperament even affects how we express ourselves nonverbally. Everything you do is motivated by the design God gave you. Understanding how our spouse interprets our nonverbal cues can help avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.Understanding Temperaments in MarriageA significant takeaway from Kathleen's work is the importance of understanding temperaments—both our own and our spouse's. Kathleen's book includes an inventory to help couples identify their temperament, which can be a game changer in communication.Each temperament has specific needs that shape how they engage in communication:Yellows (Sanguine)—Need fun, people, and spontaneity. They may struggle with feeling restricted.Reds (Choleric)—Need goals, control, and results. They want to be part of decision-making.Blues (Melancholic)—Need security and order. They may be hesitant to spend money without planning.Greens (Phlegmatic)—Need balance and peace. They want to avoid conflict and seek compromise.When couples recognize these differences, it fosters empathy and prevents unnecessary frustration.Money is a significant source of marital conflict, but these disagreements often stem from temperament differences more than financial realities.Yellows love generosity but also crave financial security. They may struggle with balancing saving and spontaneous giving.Reds want financial goals and a clear plan for achieving them.Blues prioritize security and tend to be more cautious with money.Greens seek balance and prefer avoiding financial stress.Understanding why your spouse approaches money how they do can foster mutual respect and teamwork. Instead of seeing their perspective as frustrating, you can recognize it as their God-given design.Keeping Communication Strong Over the YearsAs years pass, spouses may drift apart if they stop investing in communication. That's why couples are encouraged to stay in dating mode:Remember why you fell in love. Remember when you were dating—you put your best of yourself forward. Keep doing that. Look for the best in your spouse. Instead of focusing on their weaknesses, celebrate their strengths. Avoid complacency. Once you become content, weaknesses start to show up. Then, instead of appreciating differences, you try to change your spouse.When couples continue dating and choose to love each other through words and deeds, their marriages stay strong.The ultimate goal is authenticity—becoming exactly who God designed you to be while learning to love your spouse for who they are. When you reach authenticity, you're free. You're not trying to be someone else or change your spouse. You're showing up as yourself, using words that honor God.The Bible contains over 120 verses about words, making it clear how we communicate matters. When we build up rather than tear down, we strengthen our marriage, our family, and our faith.By understanding how God designed us, learning to listen, and choosing words that build up, we can create marriages filled with grace, love, and true understanding.If you want to transform your marriage through better communication, consider picking up a copy of Kathleen's book, I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:We have the opportunity to buy a home from my friend's father for $300,000, which is listed at $350,000.

A little history on the old V -Day! Valentine's Day has its origins in both ancient Roman and Christian traditions. The most widely accepted theory traces the holiday back to the Roman festival of Lupercalia, celebrated from February 13 to 15. This fertility festival honored Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, and included rituals meant to promote love and matchmaking. However, as Christianity spread, Lupercalia was deemed unchristian, and in the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced it with St. Valentine's Day on February 14. The name "Valentine" is believed to honor one or more Christian martyrs named Valentine. One legend tells of a priest named Valentine who secretly married couples despite Emperor Claudius II banning marriage for young men. Another tale suggests Valentine was imprisoned for aiding persecuted Christians and sent a farewell note to a loved one signed, "From your Valentine," coining the now-famous phrase. By the Middle Ages, Valentine's Day became associated with romance, partly due to Geoffrey Chaucer's poetry linking it to courtly love. Over time, handwritten love notes evolved into the exchange of greeting cards, flowers, and gifts. Today, Valentine's Day is a global celebration of love, observed in various ways across different cultures.
