"The above podcast is one of the most judgemental, unprofessional, know-it all, name calling, black and white, difinitive diatribe I have ever heard. And that was just in the intro..." Mason and Sarah discuss the very public and very ignorant judgment from his Aunt; the quote above is from her Facebook post which she has since attempted to scrub from the Internet. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank her for our second best week ever for listens and downloads.   “7 principles for making marriage work” by John Gottman https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Principles-Making-Marriage-Work/dp/0553447718/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3LYHFCJGD8OR1&keywords=7+principles+for+making+marriage+work+gottman&qid=1669392600&sprefix=7+princ%2Caps%2C390&sr=8-1 Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 9:28-29 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/9?lang=eng         

If you are utilizing criticism, contempt, stonewalling and defensiveness; you're not going to have the connection, the trust, the sense of belonging that you need to heal wounded relationships.

In this week's episode, Chris and Tim discuss how the subconscious "subtitles" in a conversation can reinforce a negative view of your partner and your marriage. Drawing on wisdom from John Gottman's book, they provide tools to help prevent your internal script from taking on a decidedly negative tone.

* When John Gottman began researching marriage in the early 1970s, there was little scientific data on the factors that make it work. * Counsellors depended on conventional wisdom, opinion, intuition, religious beliefs or the ideas of psychologists. * The result? Not much effectiveness. Using quantitative research based on direct observation of couples, Gottman identified consistent patterns in what causes marriages to fail – and, more importantly, patterns that enable them to succeed. * The good news: you don't have to agree on everything, you don't have to change who you are and you don't need to change them. * If you value your marriage, and are willing to commit to it, there is no reason why you can't save it.

Guys I put together a 6 week course distilling down the wisdom I’ve learned studying integrative body psychotherapy for 3 years, interviewing experts, reading tons of books and doing my own work with my husband and it’s basically the abridged version of the stuff that was most effective in my own life and relationship.  With us all at home, spending extra time with our partners, or perhaps wanting to foster different relationships in the future.. I think it’s a perfect time to really dedicate some energy to deepening connection. Each week you’ll receive an email with a video module and workbook, which will help you solidify the teachings. The course is geared to allow you to reflect, recharge, reprogram and reconnect.  It usually costs $97 but with the potential of financial stress I’ve slashed the price to $27! That’s  $4 dollars and 50 cents a week! RELATIONSHIP REBOOT! To check it out go to  schoolyoursoul.com/store/therelationshipreboot

How do we parent our kids after faith deconstruction? What if only one half of a couple is going through faith changes? Can people of different faith traditions have healthy marriages? How do I relate to my family, who haven’t had the same faith changes that I have, and who now think I’m going to Hell? Is this what “unequally yoked” is actually supposed to mean? This is a long, meaty episode, where we get into as many questions like these as possible (asked almost entirely by listeners of the show) with Dr. Doug Shirley, a psychotherapist who teaches at the Seattle School of Theology & Psychology and specializes in questions like these in his own private practice. dougshirleyresearch.com Holy Longing: https://smile.amazon.com/Holy-Longing-Search-Christian-Spirituality-ebook/dp/B004DEPESM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=holy+longing&qid=1570899882&sr=8-1 Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: https://smile.amazon.com/Seven-Principles-Making-Marriage-Work/dp/0553447718/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9XGS9DL4PJFO&keywords=seven+principles+for+making+marriage+work&qid=1570899898&sprefix=seven+principles%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-1 Finite and Infinite Games: https://smile.amazon.com/Finite-Infinite-Games-James-Carse/dp/1476731713/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1N9D2WRINZTQJ&keywords=finite+and+infinite+games+by+james+carse&qid=1570899926&sprefix=finite+and%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-1 The Sin of Certainty: https://smile.amazon.com/Sin-Certainty-Desires-Correct-Beliefs/dp/0062272098/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SZU6J7FT9FDZ&keywords=sin+of+certainty&qid=1570899914&sprefix=sin+of+cer%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-1 Edited by Josh Gilbert (Gwall.Gilbert11@gmail.com) Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankoch YHP Patron-only FB group: https://tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98 Website: youhavepermissionpod.com Join Dan's email list: dankochwords.com Artwork by http://sprungle.co/

Jade and Kidder Kaper have begun couple's therapy with a super sex-positive kink-friendly shrink. She had us read, "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship Expert."Now lie back and tell me about your mother.Kidder allowed his 12 year old to watch, "28 Days Later." This may have been a bad idea. A special thanks goes out to the listener who bought Kidder a copy of, Walking Dead Board Game (Z man) from Kidder's Amazon Wish-list. It is a gosh-darn-decent game.
