Join Dave and Bethlie as they continue a study on a few select chapters of the book Ten Pillars of an Awesome Marriage by Charles Shoemaker.    PART 2 5. Chapter 5 Conflict Resolution Goal - not to avoid but to handle wisely Illustration of Lady Astor to Winston Churchill - If you were my husband, I would give you poison; if you were my wife, I would take it! P. 85 Swindoll Quote Frequently, marital warfare is in the trenches of belligerence or moodiness. Some battles are night attacks or surprise assaults. Others are cold wars of stoic silence.  Cruel methods of torture are also employed—public criticism, fearful threats, intimidation, ugly sarcasm, and hateful remarks designed to put down one's mate. Such tactics are popular . . . but wrong because they are unfair and they never lead to domestic peace.” P. 87 PFS - personal filtering system Age Gender Education Life experiences Culture Temperament  Skills Personality Spirituality How do you resolve conflicts Be right with God Be swift to hear and slow to speak Own it when you are wrong Stay focused on issue at hand Face conflicts with a team mindset We not me A marriage struggles when it has two “I”s

In this deeply personal episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined by my incredible wife, Jessica Hagner, for a raw, real, and honest conversation about what 22 years of marriage has truly looked like behind the scenes. From our awkward beginnings in college to raising four boys and building a life together, this is a rare inside look into the foundation of our relationship—what's worked, what hasn't, and how we've grown together through every season.   We unpack everything from emotional disconnect and healing past wounds to the power of intentional communication, spiritual alignment, and shared leadership at home. Jessica shares her heart and wisdom on how we create emotional safety in our marriage, why friendship is key to our connection, and how we've come back from disconnection stronger every time. Whether you're in year one or year twenty of your relationship, this episode offers powerful insight into the daily work of lasting love.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Why this episode with Jessica is one of the most special yet [1:28] - How we first met—and the infamous “first kiss” moment [4:12] - Celebrating 22 years: early struggles and breakthrough moments [8:05] - Navigating emotional disconnection and how we've learned to reconnect [11:55] - Jessica's approach to giving feedback without criticism [15:30] - The role of grace and safety in helping me grow as a husband [18:43] - Getting on the same page spiritually and emotionally [21:10] - Why we never let distance linger too long in our relationship [24:02] - The value of therapy, reflection, and personal healing [28:09] - Parenting four boys with teamwork, honesty, and prayer [32:18] - How our friendship fuels every other aspect of our marriage [36:42] - Leading by example as partners, parents, and individuals [39:55] - Why we believe your past doesn't define your potential [42:20] - The power of intentional connection—even when life is messy     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Lasting Marriages Are Built on Daily Intentions It's not grand gestures that sustain a relationship—it's the daily choice to show up, stay connected, and grow together, even when things feel hard or messy. 2. Grace Is the Bridge Between Conflict and Connection Jessica's ability to approach tough conversations with empathy and grace allowed us to repair emotional rifts without blame or shame. That kind of safe space creates real transformation. 3. Emotional Safety Is a Foundation for Growth We can't become better spouses or parents unless we feel secure to be vulnerable. Emotional safety means knowing you can be honest without fear of judgment or rejection. 4. Friendship Fuels Long-Term Love Romantic sparks matter—but friendship sustains. Laughing, enjoying time together, and being each other's best friend is what carries the relationship through every season. 5. Spiritual Alignment Strengthens the Bond When we committed to growing together spiritually, we experienced deeper intimacy and peace. Shared faith, prayer, and purpose have anchored us through life's storms.     LINKS & RESOURCES Download the 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance Listen to More Episodes: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Tools & Resources: https://www.thedadedge.com/tools Recommended Episode: How to Lead Your Marriage with Intention     If this episode spoke to your heart, encouraged your marriage, or gave you hope, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.

In this deeply personal and refreshingly raw episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined by my incredible wife, Jessica Hagner, for a long-overdue conversation that many of you have been asking for. After years of encouragement (and a little nudging), Jessica stepped up to the mic to help me share the real, behind-the-scenes story of our 22-year marriage. We go back to the early days of college, reliving the awkwardness of our first kiss and my embarrassing (but strategic) attempt to get her on a student committee just to spend time with her. But we don't just stay in the past. We dive deep into the challenges of our early marriage, the struggles I had showing up as a husband and father, and how Jessica's unwavering grace, direct but loving communication, and deep emotional strength helped pull us through. From parenting four boys to rediscovering connection after disconnection, we explore how we've stayed aligned, what we've learned, and why our friendship is the real heartbeat of our relationship. Whether you're a husband, wife, parent, or someone navigating the messy middle of a relationship, this episode will speak to your heart and give you practical hope that real love is always within reach, if you're willing to work for it.   TIMELINE SUMMARY [1:34] - Jessica joins the podcast for the first time—and how long it took to convince her [4:35] - The (disastrous) first kiss story from both our perspectives [10:22] - My clever scheme to get Jessica on the student committee [13:36] - Celebrating 22 years: reflections on young love and early marriage [16:05] - My struggles early on as a husband and father [20:48] - Jessica's thoughtful, respectful way of expressing hard truths [26:02] - A rough week of disconnection—and why we refuse to let it linger [29:30] - How we sense and address emotional distance before it becomes dangerous [35:31] - Replacing blame with grace: the power of constructive feedback [38:01] - Jessica's journey through self-image and how we supported each other [40:35] - Our secret weapon: friendship as the foundation [44:12] - Creating emotional safety in a marriage [46:40] - Reflections on sobriety and emotional consistency [47:17] - The role of counseling and shared tools in sustaining growth [50:21] - That time we tried swing dancing—and what it taught us about trying new things   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Marriage Is Built, Not Found Strong relationships don't happen by accident—they're intentionally created through effort, vulnerability, and consistent choices. Love is less about fate and more about foundation, and we've learned that every season of growth requires patience and partnership. Grace Changes Everything Jessica's ability to express concerns with love instead of criticism shaped how I received them—and how I grew. Her grace didn't minimize the message; it softened the delivery so that it could be heard. When grace leads, growth follows. Friendship Is the Foundation Beyond intimacy and partnership lies a deep friendship. We laugh, challenge, and enjoy one another—whether we're hitting the gym or sitting in silence. That comfort and camaraderie anchor us in hard times and elevate the everyday. Disconnection Is a Signal, Not a Sentence We all drift sometimes—but we've trained ourselves not to tolerate that drift for long. Disconnection is simply a call to reconnect. We address it, own it, and rebuild before it becomes a pattern. Shared Growth Sustains Love What keeps us aligned is our shared commitment to grow—individually and as a couple. From therapy to new hobbies, we make space for evolution. That growth keeps the relationship fresh, resilient, and deeply fulfilling.

Are you a man in a sexless marriage? Are you feeling frustrated and thinking she's holding back intimacy from you? Maybe you've tried to get her to go to marriage counselling to discuss it...? In this episode I talk about what we see in the men we coach that is essential to address before you try marriage counselling.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first.

Are you constantly hurt by a spouse who struggles to prioritize you? Do they avoid setting boundaries with their parents—even when it damages your marriage? If your partner was raised in a toxic or emotionally immature home, their nervous system may have been wired for survival—not connection.

Romano, unpacks the hidden trauma behind emotionally unavailable partners and explores why some spouses can't put their significant other first—despite their best intentions. You'll learn: Why your spouse might feel safer pleasing their parents than protecting your marriage How unhealed childhood trauma impacts adult intimacy and emotional prioritization The subconscious fears that drive people to abandon their partner to avoid being rejected themselves What you can do to begin shifting this painful dynamic in a healthy way

Have you ever asked yourself: Am I willing to face discomfort and take courageous action? What negative self-talk or pressure am I letting control me? Have I ever taken the time to really name and face what's weighing me down or keeping me up at night? Whether you're a business owner, a hard-working dad, or somewhere in between, Larry lays out why building intentional connections with other men and seeking growth is key to creating a legendary life—both for yourself and the generations to come. Drawing from personal experience and eye-opening statistics, Larry opens up about his own journey through denial, honesty, and growth, unpacking how easy it is for men to stay stuck in “I'm fine” mode—even when struggling internally. He offers three powerful strategies to support mental well-being: ruthless self-honesty, taking care of your body and mind, and intentionally building a supportive, growth-oriented circle of men. If you're ready to get honest, find your tribe, and start moving forward, this episode will be the wake-up call you need. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Move Your Body, Guard Your Mind, and Cut the Junk: Mental and physical health are inseparable. Larry calls this the second pillar: move your body, guard your mind, and cut out the junk. Regular movement, whether it's a walk, a lift, or a sweat session, can clear your head and improve your mood. You don't need a perfect workout routine. Consistency is far more important. Upgrade Your Circle: Brotherhood Over Isolation: Isolation is the silent killer of men's mental health. Many fathers try to “lone wolf” their way through struggles, believing they must handle everything themselves. Larry warns that this mindset can erode your spirit and make life's challenges feel even heavier. The Power of Getting Honest With Yourself: Every father experiences moments of feeling lost, overwhelmed, or out of his depth. According to Larry, the first and most crucial step is honesty. Too often, we brush aside our struggles with the phrase, "I'm fine," when, in reality, we are not. Instead of masking the pain or confusion, Larry encourages dads to face those feelings head-on. This episode will inspire you to disrupt the repeating pattern, reclaim your purpose, and start living a legendary life. Here's what research and observation highlight about men's mental health: One in eight men will deal with serious depression in their lifetime, but over 60% will not get help. Men die by suicide four times more than women, but rarely ask for help. Most dads say that they feel consistently stressed or burned out trying to balance work, fatherhood, and marriage. But nearly half admit feeling completely and totally alone. If you're filling your head with hours of doomscrolling news and mindless social media every day, your risk doubles.  Studies show people who watch over 3 hours of news daily are twice as likely to report severe anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

In this 8-minute solo episode, I reflect on a powerful conversation sparked at a recent wedding, where mutual respect and emotional consideration in relationships were jokingly labeled as being "whipped." It opened the door to a much deeper discussion on devotion; what it really means to be devoted to your partner and your relationship.Through stories from my own life, my sessions, and the lens of mental health, I explore how devotion builds interdependence, strengthens emotional safety, and nurtures the sacred “we” in partnership. This is for anyone wanting to love with more presence, care, and conscious intention.And if you're craving a space to go even deeper into these topics, I share more about our upcoming Tuscany Retreat: Self-Worth, Self-Care & Sisterhood happening August 18–23.

If you are someone who loves building healthy relationships, communication skills, and personal growth, then this episode is for you.A few years ago in couples therapy, I learned one simple relationship tip that completely changed the way I communicate, especially during conflict. It's something I come back to again and again, whether I'm arguing with my husband or navigating tension with a family member.This advice is so powerful because it works outside of romantic partnerships too—whether you're navigating tension with a friend, a family member, or anyone you love and respect.In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact phrase my therapist said that stopped me in my tracks, helped my husband and I reconnect, and later, helped my sister and I move from feeling misunderstood to finally hearing each other.But first, a big disclaimer: this tip only works with emotionally intelligent, securely attached people. It's not for those in abusive dynamics or with people who are committed to misunderstanding you. If that's something you've struggled with, I hope this episode gives you clarity on when to apply healthy communication tools—and when to have the self-worth to step away.You'll learn:Why being “right” is overrated in relationshipsHow to shift from objective truth to subjective experiencesWhat emotionally-intelligent conflict resolution actually sounds likeHow to move from defensiveness to connection in under 10 minutesWhether you're in a long-term relationship or just want to improve how you show up for the people you love, this episode will give you the mindset shift you didn't know you needed.Deepen your self-love journey with Mary's books:*The Gift of Self-Love,* an interactive workbook that will help you build confidence, recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself.*100 Days of Self-Love,* a guided journal with 100 prompts to help you calm self-criticism and learn to love who you are.Follow Mary on IG: @maryscupofteaa and @maryspodcastIf you're enjoying this self-love podcast, share it with the women in your life to spread the gift of self-love!Mentioned In This Episode...Ep. 170: Intentional Wedding Planning and Artful Gathering with Priya ParkerEp. 257: Me and My Sister Recap Our Trip to France Ep. 258: Confidence Advice for Teen Girls (feat.

If you've ever found yourself stuck in a one-sided relationship—where you're the fixer, the rescuer, the peacekeeper—this episode is your wake-up call. In this powerful episode, best-selling author and codependency recovery expert Lisa A. Romano uncovers the invisible thread between childhood emotional neglect and codependent behaviors in adulthood. If you: Feel overly responsible for other people's emotions Stay in toxic relationships hoping things will change Obsess over your partner's moods Feel like you've lost your sense of self ...you're not broken. You're running survival patterns wired into your nervous system long ago—when love meant self-abandonment, and your feelings didn't matter. This isn't your fault. But now that you know, it becomes your power. Lisa explains how codependency is a subconscious trauma response rooted in unmet emotional needs and a lack of safety in childhood. We mistakenly learn that love must be earned through fixing others—especially the ones who hurt us. But this only perpetuates the pain and draws us toward emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners. In this episode, you'll discover:  How early childhood trauma wires your brain for codependency  Why rescuing others is a subconscious survival strategy  Why narcissists and toxic partners are drawn to codependents  How to spot the thinking traps of codependency  Actionable steps to reconnect with your authentic self Whether you're healing from a codependent marriage or waking up to your past for the first time, this episode will help you break free from emotional enmeshment and start living from a place of empowerment and emotional clarity.

Have you ever asked yourself: "Do I find myself focusing more on what I don't want in my marriage, rather than sharing what I truly need or hope for?" "Am I recognizing and attempting to meet my wife's deep needs to feel seen, heard, and safe?" "Am I honestly communicating my needs and working with my spouse to understand hers?" One of the most powerful shifts came from understanding that men and women have fundamentally different needs in marriage. Men crave respect, appreciation, and affection. Women need to be seen, heard, and feel safe. If these needs aren't met, resentment can brew silently for years, eroding the relationship from within. Turning 50 is a milestone—it marks not only the passage of time but also a treasure trove of life lessons. On this episode of The Dad Edge Podcast, Larry Hagner shares the advice he wishes he'd had in his early days of marriage and fatherhood. Larry opens up about his fears before marrying his college sweetheart—a perspective shaped by his own experiences growing up around divorce and dysfunctional relationships. For years, he worried marriage would end in resentment, disconnection, or eventual separation. But with 20 years under his belt, Larry has discovered that extraordinary marriages don't happen by accident; they're the result of effort, self-awareness, and learning new relationship skills. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, felt lost in marriage or fatherhood, or wished for a community of men who just get it, this episode is for you. Stay tuned as Larry kicks off a four-part July series reflecting on marriage, parenting, wealth, health, and perspective—all with the goal of helping you live legendary. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Your Marriage Doesn't Have to “Go Dry”: Most of us didn't grow up seeing functional relationships. Larry candidly discusses how he almost let the fear of divorce and dysfunction keep him from marrying the woman he truly loved—and why that perspective was dead wrong. The Power of Active Love (from Your Kids' Perspective): This week's episode features a spontaneous cameo from Larry's 11-year-old son, Lawson! He shares—with humor and honesty—how seeing his parents in a loving relationship makes him feel happy and safe at home. It's a heartfelt reminder: how you show up with your spouse is what your kids truly remember. No More Content Zombie Syndrome: We all absorb tons of self-development podcasts and books. But unless we commit to consistently practicing what we learn—and DO the work—the needle doesn't move. Larry talks about the critical difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Find Your Corner Men: Whether you're a nine-to-fiver or a business owner, Larry stresses the importance of having men in your corner—mentors ahead of you, peers beside you, and those you can teach. We rise together, and having the right tribe accelerates every area of our lives. Whether you're married, a new dad, or a seasoned father, this episode is packed with relatable stories and actionable advice that could save your marriage and strengthen your home. Here's what research and observation highlight about marriages: Only 12% of people who still are married can actually identify their relationship as working and they're happy. Statistics have shown that when a woman says out loud, "I think we should separate," or "I think we should get divorced," she's been thinking that for a minimum of two years. www.thedadedge.com/friday215 www.thedadedge.com/mastermind
