Angie's husband came to America not speaking English, so of course she had to help him with everything—navigating websites, polishing his resume, even taking pictures of groceries so he wouldn't buy the wrong thing. But working 80 hours a week as a medical resident while mothering her husband crushed any attraction she once felt for him. When a therapist suggested she may have married the wrong guy, Angie spent months in agony on the fence, seriously considering divorce. Then she discovered there was another way. Today, that same "incapable" husband works in tech support, handles all their finances, and does more childcare than she does. Angie went from wanting to leave to feeling so grateful it moves her to tears. If you're convinced your husband just isn't capable and you can't see how the skills could possibly apply to your situation, Angie's transformation will show you exactly how to go from resentment to respect.

In this greatest hits episode, we're revisiting one of the most powerful communication tools I teach—one that's both simple and transformative. If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling misunderstood, reactive, or like your needs weren't truly seen, this episode is for you. It's not just about what you say. It's about the lens you're using to listen. I'm breaking down why the perspective you bring into a conversation—the emotional framing you carry—can change everything. You'll learn how noticing your “lens” helps you shift your energy, change the direction of the dialogue, and respond in ways that bring more clarity, calm, and connection. From the sneaky effects of internalized patriarchy to how we're conditioned to live “leftovers lives,” this episode is packed with both mindset shifts and practical tools you can apply right away. Grab a journal, take a walk, or just listen with curiosity—and let's explore how small shifts in perspective create big changes in communication. ✨ Episode at a Glance Why communication feels so hard (even though we do it every day) What it means to “notice your lens”—and why it matters The connection between your emotions and how you hear your partner A coaching challenge to shift your perspective and improve conversations How internalized patriarchy shapes how we listen, respond, and prioritize our needs An invitation to live a 5-star life instead of a “leftovers life”

My guest Diane's husband was so withdrawn that for two years, there was no physical intimacy. None. Zip. Nada. He'd moved to the basement and stayed there, leaving her feeling rejected, invisible, and wondering if this was just how things would be forever. But when she became intentional about practicing the six Intimacy SkillsTM—especially one she never saw coming—things shifted in ways that still make her do the happy dance. Now the passion is back, and it's better than ever. Like, way better. She's gonna tell us exactly what she did (including the shift she made that had him wrapping her up with a kiss) so you can do it too. Spoiler: It has nothing to do with lingerie and everything to do with becoming the woman you were meant to be.

What does it really mean to be friends with God—and how can that friendship fill our lives with lasting joy? In this uplifting episode, we talk with Faith about how intimacy with God shifts our desires, strengthens our faith, and sustains us through hardship. We also explore how to take that next step into deeper friendship with Him, and what it practically looks like to live each day knowing God as both Father and Friend. Plus, don't miss details on our journal giveaway over on Instagram @awesome_marriage! Episode Highlights: Friendship with God sparks joy in our lives. Joy is referenced over 400 times in scripture. Our default mode is to find joy in God's presence. Joy is not just a moment but a continuous state. The fall of humankind began when joy was sought outside of God. Joy is deeper than happiness; it encompasses peace and confidence. Every season of life has its own joy to discover. Jesus is the source of our completion and joy. Enjoying the Holy Spirit alters your desires. Acknowledging God in daily life fosters intimacy. Practicing the presence of God can be done in all activities. Friendship with God is accessible through salvation. Questions for Reflection: How would you describe your current friendship with God? What moments in your life have made you feel closest to God? What did those times have in common? What spiritual disciplines or habits help you feel more connected to God on a daily basis? Are there any areas where you feel distant from God right now? What might be contributing to that? Are there any distractions or habits you might need to let go of to prioritize friendship with God? Quotes from Today's Episode: "We can be friends with God." "Jesus is where my completion is." "He does the heart work." "Acknowledge Him in all your ways." "God's got answers for all of us."
