Podcasts about marriage therapy

Are you thinking about going to a marriage therapist? Or maybe you're just listening to podcasts (like ours), reading books, or getting advice from influencers in hopes of improving your relationship? We wanted to share some vital questions you should ask yourself to make sure you're getting the kind of support that will actually help your marriage—not hurt it.In today's conversation, Nick and Amy share some of the most important lessons they've learned in their own journey, including why not all advice is good advice—even when it's coming from a “professional.”They discuss:Why lived experience matters just as much (if not more) than credentialsHow to discern if someone truly has your marriage's best interests at heartWhat red flags to watch for in therapists, counselors, and even social media “marriage experts”How some therapists have unknowingly (or even knowingly) kept couples stuck or sick for yearsThe power of shared values and how that influences the direction of the advice you receiveThis episode isn't about bashing therapists—it's about helping couples make informed, wise decisions when it comes to who they trust with "their" most important thing in their life, which is their relationship! Tune in for a conversation that will challenge you to think deeper and choose more intentionally when it comes to who you allow to speak into your marriage.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Saving Struggling, Sexless, and Toxic Marriages.Kathryn Morrow, Author of Behind The White Picket Fence.She Wants Sex; He Doesn't!In Episode 275 of The 'NEW' Marriage, we unpack a topic rarely discussed: when she wants sex—but he doesn't. What causes this shift in desire? Is it emotional, physical, or relational? We explore how to navigate mismatched libidos with compassion and clarity.

Romantic relationships are sacred, powerful, and life-giving. But I don't have to tell you how difficult it is to love and let yourself be loved.Marriage and family therapist Dr. Terry Hargrave has been helping couples in crisis restore broken relationships for decades, teaching them how to get unstuck, improve communication, and move beyond destructive coping mechanisms—to find reciprocity, self-affirming confidence, emotional regulation, and a joyful, lasting love.In a world marked by loneliness, disconnection, and emotional dysregulation, Hargrave offers powerful insights on the human need for identity, safety, and belonging—and how we can heal the wounds that keep us stuck. Drawing on decades of therapeutic experience and deep personal reflection, Hargrave explains how coping mechanisms like blame, shame, control, and escape can damage relationships—and how the peace cycle of nurture, self-valuing, balanced give-and-take, and connection can restore wholeness. He discusses his unique approach to the healing and restorative power of relationships, which lifts us up to our potential, encouraging us toward a nurturing, self-valuing, non-controlling reciprocity, and true connection.In this conversation with Terry Hargrave, we discuss:How to turn around a relationship in crisis and get off the emotional rollercoasterHow to build security and trust in order to improve or repair a marriage or long-term relationshipCoping mechanisms of blame, shame, control, and escapePractical steps to learn emotional self-regulationWhat to do when only one partner is working on a relationshipThe role of the brain and neuroplasticity in relational repairAnd the spiritual underpinnings of Terry's approach to restoration therapyEpisode Highlights"It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing—until you claim your belovedness for yourself, nothing will change.""Relationships are a mirror—we discover who we are through how others see us.""Blame, shame, control, and escape—nothing good comes from these coping mechanisms.""Understanding doesn't produce change. Doing produces change.""When we nurture, self-value, connect, and cooperate, unleashed joy happens.""Thriving is doing more of your best self, not learning something new."Helpful Links and ResourcesRestoration Therapy Training ResourcesThe Mindful Marriage by Ron Deal and Nan Deal (with Terry and Sharon Hargrave)Five Days to a New Self by Terry HargraveEmotionally Focused Therapy and Sue Johnson's LegacyShow NotesIntroduction to Terry Hargrave and the importance of Restoration Therapy today"We are still the same humans, but with a bigger pipe of problems and fewer emotional connections."Emotional dysregulation linked to identity and safety threatsRelationships as a mirror to the self and necessary for human thriving"For there to be a me, there has to be a thou."Why relationships are difficult: imperfection, wounding, and unmet needsHow family of origin wounds influence coping styles"Families don't mean to screw each other up, but somehow they manage to."Introduction of the four major unhealthy coping mechanisms: blame, shame, control, and escapeHow overachievement, perfectionism, and withdrawal are survival strategies from early wounding"Your greatest strength might actually be an old coping habit getting in the way of intimacy."The relational signs that coping mechanisms are damaging relationshipsHealing through self-regulation: speaking truth to yourself with love"Put your hand on your heart and remind yourself of who you really are."The difference between co-regulation and self-regulation in emotional healingRestoration Therapy's peace cycle: nurture, self-value, balance, connection"Nothing good comes from blame, shame, control, or escape."The role of practice and neuroplasticity in forming new relational habits"Doing, not just understanding, is what rewires the brain."How thriving relationships move from neediness to adventurous partnershipIntimacy as knowing yourself more fully through connection, not just need satisfactionCooperative growth and mutual flourishing as hallmarks of thrivingApplication of restoration principles to broader societal healing and reconciliation"Unleashed joy happens when we choose nurture and connection, even with adversaries."The critical role of faith in affirming belovedness and ultimate identity"Everyone else and even God can tell you you're beloved—but you have to claim it for yourself."Practical advice for knowing when to seek therapyWhere to find Restoration Therapy-trained therapistsResources for learning more: Mindful Marriage and other Restoration Therapy booksThe key takeaways that I will carry with me from this conversation are the following:You can change. Your relationship can change. But it takes a daily practice of hard work to create lasting change.And though you might fail, there is hope that you can begin again.Our coping mechanisms are not superpowers. They hurt us and the people we love.Understanding is not enough. Action and behavior has to follow for change to occur.[Any others?] It takes two to tango, but that doesn't get you off the hook from doing the work on yourself.And finally, a thriving relationship creates joy all around it, within a family, in a community, and it shows how personal relationships can change society.About Terry HargraveDr. Terry Hargrave.

178  If you're unhappy enough in your marriage to be questioning if you should stay or go, you probably feel uncertain, confused, afraid. You're too scared and unsure if it's the right thing to do to actually leave, but you also know you don't want to go on living like this with your spouse. What if your spouse CAN improve? What if you CAN connect in the deeper ways you want? What if you CAN'T? What if he can't? It can be paralyzing. And spirit killing!It's time for some clarity about what's best for you moving forward!In this episode, I will help you get that. Although there isn't a black and white answer I can hand you today, I do have some clear advice to share. And even an outline for an illuminating and super clarifying conversation that you can have with your spouse to help you know whether it is time, or not, to leave—or whether this relationship actually has room to improve into a fulfilling one you really WANT to stay in.I will also share more in depth the 5 ingredients you need to put into this clarifying conversation, and what needs to happen first, during and after. I could have easily called this episode “How To Motivate Your Spouse Stretch And Grow Into The Partner You Really Want”, instead. Because what I share in this episode, if you implement it, is the most powerful way I have ever seen to invite and motivate your spouse to do a whole lot more to make your marriage one you both feel great in… And if he is unable even then to be the loving supportive partner you want in life, you will know for sure that staying is not what's best for you, and be free to move on with integrity, confidence, and peace.

Is a wife's sin her husband's responsibility, and is there even such a thing as an "abusive wife"? Our highly feministic culture usually suggests that any wrong a wife does in her marriage was somehow triggered by her husband's poor behaviour or poor performance. This thinking leads to not only a whole lot of marriage dysfunction, but sadly a whole lot of divorce.In the first ever Masculine Revival Podcast interview, Brendan sits down with Dr. David Edgington to discuss several controversial topics pertaining to marriage and how a couple can flip an unhealthy marriage dynamic into a functional one that honours each other and God.Grab Davids Book, The Abusive Wife: Ministering To The Contentious Woman  - GET IT HEREView Davids Website - HEREFollow David On Twitter  - HERE______________________________Connect with me on social media, and join my email list to stay update on what's happening with Masculine Revival:Brendan's Instagram, Twitter & Email ListApply to join over 55 men in the Masculine Revival Brotherhood HERE.Apply for 1:1 coaching with Brendan.

None of us are exactly alike. We all have facets of our personalities, beliefs and behaviors that define who we are and what we value. Because of this, there are so many things that make us different than our spouses and annoy us even though we were attracted to the differences we originally saw in them. Yes, we said “I do” to each other, but we didn't say “I will” with the intention to become just like the one we married. It's those differences in marriage, especially in the areas where we may never be the same that can cause friction that leads to conflict. What if married couples took a different perspective on their spouse? What if they chose to react positively to those differences that they see daily in their spouse rather than take a judging or negative approach? Join hosts, Travis and Dawn Rosinger, as they share funny differences about themselves in their own marriage, differences they see in others, and what changing your approach and how you view uniqueness in your spouse could have a huge positive impact on your own marriage relationship!Travis and Dawn Rosinger are the Loving The Fight Marriage Podcast Hosts and Authors of the books, Verbalosity - 7 Steps to a Verbally Generous and More Fulfilling Marriage and their newest book, Gripping -  What Matters Most | A Life and Relationships That Hold on to YouFor more information about Travis and Dawn Rosinger go to Loving The Fight
