How do you know when you’re ready to commit? Do you think love alone is enough? Marriage isn’t a destination, it’s a daily practice. It’s the ongoing choice to show up, grow, and recommit to each other through every season of change. In this special compilation, Jay brings together powerful insights from Jada Pinkett Smith, relationship coach Sadia Khan, psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb, and his own reflections with Radhi. Together, they explore how lasting love isn’t built on fleeting chemistry, but on emotional resilience, self-awareness, and the courage to evolve, side by side. Jada shares how marriage can be a spiritual journey, where your partner reflects both your light and your flaws, guiding you toward unconditional love and deeper healing. Sadia reveals the often-overlooked truths about infidelity, self-control, and discipline, reminding us that love cannot thrive without trust. Lori highlights the power of honest communication, from setting boundaries with in-laws to having the tough conversations about money, marriage, and children before it’s too late. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Build Emotional Resilience in Marriage How to Heal and Grow Through Partnership How to Spot Signs of Emotional Distance How to Create Space for Emotional Openness How to Recommit as Your Partner Evolves Every relationship faces challenges, but those moments can become powerful opportunities for growth when met with compassion and openness. The true beauty of love lies in the willingness to listen, to learn, and to keep building something real, together. With Love and Gratitude, Jay Shetty.

“There's a reason brotherhood feels confronting: it won't let you stay the same.”This one's for the men who are tired of playing a role.And for the women who are tired of watching them pretend.In today's episode, I sat down with my brother, Nick Warner, a father, men's facilitator, and one of the most grounded, embodied leaders I know. We get into the shadow side of men's work, the trap of emotional dumping, the chaos of Neo-Tantra, and the slow, sacred work of actually becoming trustworthy.We talk about fatherhood as initiation, the pressure to perform polarity, and why true devotion has nothing to prove.This isn't about masculine aesthetic.This is about leadership, when no one's watching.

This week on Wine Chats, your favourite Aussie mums get very real about OnlyFans, cheating, and what counts as crossing the line in modern relationships! They are diving headfirst into the spicy question:

If you're listening on the day this releases, then tomorrow (6/25/2025) is our 42nd wedding anniversary! We can't believe that it's already been more than four decades since we walked down the aisle to say our “I do's”. Would you believe that our first big argument occurred on our honeymoon? We had a lot of good times in those early years, but they were also the beginning of some recurring conflicts and struggles for us. As we reflect back on 42 years of marriage, one of the things that has made a big difference in the health of our relationship is learning how to make requests instead of hoping, wishing, or hinting at what we wanted or needed. In today's conversation, we are discussing why this was a game-changer and how you can incorporate this practice into your own marriage. In this episode, you'll learn about:The importance of discovering your needsHow hinting and hoping can damage your marriageHow unexpressed expectations build resentmentAnd more!We hope this skill is as beneficial for your relationship as it has been in our marriage!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/hint-hope-253Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

Each one brings its own beauty—and its own challenges. Recognizing the season you're in can help you lean into God's plan for your relationship, making your marriage stronger and more fruitful no matter the circumstances. Let's walk through the four seasons of marriage and explore how to navigate them with purpose and love.Spring: Say "Yes" to Your MarriageSpring is the season of new growth. It's often filled with young children, rising careers, and a never-ending to-do list. This can make marriage feel more like a project than a partnership. But in this busy season, couples must learn the power of saying “No” to the good so they can say “Yes” to the best—their relationship.Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” That includes making intentional space to invest in your spouse.Summer: Embrace the Joy of TogethernessSummer brings warmth, connection, and space to enjoy each other. Maybe the kids are older, or the pressures of early adulthood have passed. This is a great time to intentionally deepen your relationship. Enjoy vacations, long talks, and shared hobbies. But don't get lazy—use this time to keep building a stronger bond.Song of Solomon 2:10 says, “My beloved spoke and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me.'” Summer is about pursuing your spouse with intentionality.Fall: Prepare for ChangeFall often brings transitions—career shifts, an empty nest, or unexpected loss. Change can be stressful and unsettling. That's why this season requires grace, communication, and adaptability. It's easy to turn inward during change, but this is when you need each other the most.Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… He will make your paths straight.” Trusting God together through change can anchor your marriage.Winter: Fight for Your MarriageWinter is the hardest season. It can bring grief, health issues, financial strain, or emotional distance. These trials are real, but so is God's faithfulness. This is when you fight hardest for your marriage—through prayer, counseling, and a commitment to stay connected even when feelings fade.Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.” Winter is not the end—it's a chance to build resilience and rediscover why you said “I do.”Every marriage goes through seasons. The key is to recognize where you are and respond with grace, truth, and intentionality. With God at...
