In today's episode, we explore how constant connectivity and work stress can quietly invade our marriages. When work becomes all-consuming, it can turn into an idol and create emotional distance between spouses. We discuss why learning to leave work at work is a spiritual discipline and how true support means walking alongside your spouse, not having all the answers. You'll hear practical wisdom on setting boundaries together, sharing burdens, and seeking counsel early. Marriage is about more than success—it's about not facing struggles alone.   Episode Highlights:  Technology has blurred our boundaries between work and home.  Learning to leave work at work is a spiritual discipline. Being supportive doesn't mean you have to all the answers- it means you're walking alongside your spouse. The pace of modern culture doesn't allow proper mental closure.   Quotes from Today's Episodes: A lot of people in the workplace feel the expectation to be available 24/7/365 Work problems begin to feel like personal problems- like they need immediate attention. Our ultimate identity is not in our professional performance.  Work stress can be like an invisible third person in your marriage. When work becomes all consuming it shifts into an idol. Our marriages are about something bigger than career success. Marriage is about sharing burdens- not just the good stuff.  Trying to handle stress alone creates distance in the marriage. There's something spiritually significant about not facing struggles alone.  The most effective boundaries are the ones you create together. They need to know your concern comes from a place of care not criticism. The earlier you involve wise counsel the more effectively you can address issues before they become entrenched patterns.  Questions for Discussion: Do you currently have any transitional rituals in place? If not, what rituals can the two of you agree to implement?  Do you currently implement any device free times/ zones? Are you using technology to connect with your spouse in healthy ways?

In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we share our thoughts on why a good spouse doesn't deserve to be in a "non intimate" marriage. We are not just talking about sexual intimacy, but also emotional intimacy, because intimacy is not just a bonus in marriage, it is a CORE part of marriage.It's not at all selfish to want sex or affection. It's human. A good spouse who pours into the marriage emotionally and physically shouldn't be told to “just deal with it” if their needs go unmet. A good spouse deserves mutual care—not emotional starvation or punishment through neglect. We also talk about the negative impacts to the relationship when intimacy is not prioritized in the relationship. Join us for this great episode!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.

What if being great with money doesn't guarantee you're doing great with your spouse?If you're the “money person” in your marriage, you may think you're doing everything right. But what if your spouse feels shut out of the process? It happens more than you think. Shaunti Feldhahn joins us today to talk about how you can avoid that disconnect or fix it if need be.Shaunti Feldhahn is a Harvard graduate, former Wall Street analyst, social researcher, best-selling author, and a prominent public speaker. She is the co-author of Thriving in Love and Money: 5 Game-Changing Insights about Your Relationship, Your Money, and Yourself, written with her husband, Jeff, and has co-authored several books with him, revealing impactful truths about relationships at home and in the workplace.Honor What Your Spouse ValuesMoney-minded individuals often unknowingly send the message that their spouse's financial opinions don't matter. Even with good intentions and solid planning, failing to honor what your spouse values can damage not just your finances but your marriage.Spouses who handle the finances might assume they're right and the other is wrong. That unspoken belief, even if subtle, can lead one partner to feel dismissed—and that's a dangerous place to be.About two-thirds of spouses believe they know better than their partner how to manage finances. This is similar to how most people think they're above-average drivers—statistically improbable, but psychologically common.While it's okay to have differing financial opinions, it becomes a problem when one partner consistently feels unheard or undervalued. Many “money people” may not even realize they're doing this, but over time, it fosters resentment and undermines trust.Different Values, Different PrioritiesMore than 80% of couples have differing financial values, which are often rooted in their childhood experiences, temperaments, or faith priorities.For instance, one spouse may believe saving for college is urgent and non-negotiable. The other may feel that making memories with their children while they are young, such as taking a trip to Disney, is equally important. Neither is wrong. They're just different.The danger lies in assuming that one value system is superior. If one spouse feels their values are constantly being overlooked, resentment can quietly grow until it spills over into other areas of the relationship.The real danger isn't only in the budget—it's in the relationship.If one person starts to feel like their opinions don't matter, it doesn't just affect money decisions. It becomes a marriage issue.And this dynamic can even show up in financial advisor meetings, where professionals may unintentionally direct conversations toward the more financially-minded spouse. This reinforces the problem and risks charting a course toward relational misalignment.Three Steps Toward Greater Financial UnityIn her article for Faithful Steward, Shaunti offers three practical steps to bring both voices to the table:Ask Each Other a Simple QuestionAt a neutral time—say, over morning coffee—ask:“On a scale of 1 to 5, how heard and valued do you feel in our financial decisions?”If the answer isn't a 5, it's a red flag—time for a deeper conversation. Treat Less-than-Perfect Answers SeriouslyA “3” or “4” means something isn't connecting. Don't ignore it. The goal is for both spouses to feel their voice and values are part of the plan, even when you disagree. Explore Your Financial Values TogetherChapter 3 of her book, Thriving in Love and Money, maps out different “money values”—how people view experiences vs. things, time vs. money, or convenience vs. frugality. Shaunti encourages couples to read the chapter together (or separately with notes in the margins) to uncover hidden assumptions.Real-Life Insight: The $1.50 LessonShaunti also shares a personal example: she values time and convenience, so she's happy to pay an extra $1.50 per movie ticket to reserve seats in advance. Jeff, her husband, sees that as unnecessary—he'd rather arrive early to save money.Neither is “right.” However, understanding each other's values helped them approach decisions with greater ease and grace, rather than conflict.Remember, resentment is like a slow leak—it can go unnoticed until the tire blows out. But the antidote is simply listening with love and curiosity.You can read her full article in Faithful Steward, our quarterly magazine designed to help you connect your faith with your finances.

Valerie French Kilroy was the mother of three very young boys, an occupational therapist and a much-loved sister and friend.In June 2019 she was murdered by her husband James Kilroy. She was 41. That he killed her was never in doubt – he admitted it – but the defence put forward at his trial in 2024 was that he was insane when he beat, stabbed and strangled his wife to death.That defence was rejected by the jury and he was convicted of her murder.For her siblings, including her brother David, Kilroy had committed child harm in that he had robbed three children of their mother. Such a crime they felt would surely mean he would no longer be the children's legal guardian. They soon learned that legally that is not the case.From his prison cell Kilroy is still in the children's lives as their legal guardian, making decisions to do with their welfare, from medical treatments to travel outside the country.David French is now fighting for changes to the legislation around guardianship that would ensure that in cases where a partner has deprived children of their parent, guardianship would be denied.Called “Valerie's law” it is, says French, a simple change in the legislation that would be of enormous benefit to the children in such horrendous cases; he says an average of seven children a year are impacted. It would also give more certainty to bereaved families as they navigate the path ahead.French has written a book, For Valerie, and he explains to In the News why that was important to him and why he is fighting to make Valerie's law a reality.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Saving Struggling, Sexless, and Toxic Marriages.Kathryn Morrow, Author of Behind The White Picket Fence.The "Noble" Spouse!In this episode of The ‘NEW' Marriage, we dive into the psychology of the "noble" spouse — the one who tries to stay calm, fix everything, and carry the emotional load alone. Why does this role often lead to resentment, burnout, or disconnection in relationships?

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the most significant things they've learned this year. For Kelly, it was reaffirming her resilience. For John, it was learning the disc profile. Understanding that he is a D. He's an action taker and does things fast and is focused on tasks. Whereas John's precious wife Ginger is a C. She does things slow and is a perfectionist. Also focused on tasks. This has been powerful in John's life to understand this because we all have a natural tendency to think that people who don't see things the way that we see them are simply wrong or inferior. Not so. They're just processing information differently. Appreciating this subtle difference is powerful.And so the takeaway lesson is take the disc profile and understand the personality type you are and the personality type your spouse is. And understand your weaknesses so that you can compensate for them. During this podcast John also talks about the things he learned from his class at the University of Texas. So many interesting things. Most people didn't realize they are WIRED FOR SURVIVAL. And the effect of that is that 75% of their thoughts are fear-based and they're reactive rather than proactive on their important agenda.The other big thing they learned is that 95% OF THEIR DAILY ACTIONS ARE UNCONSCIOUS. And one's daily actions determine your success in each area of your life. And as John points out to them, the think it be it 12 minute a day technique is an actual way of doing life. And what could be a better way of doing life than applying the central concept of the top book in the world on success to your life. The bottom line, it gives you an edge in life. Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

In this episode of More Than Roommates, Gabrielle, Derek, and Scott discuss the common habit of going to friends or a spouse before going to God for wisdom. While community is important, the best place to start is with the Lord. Scriptures:Matthew 6:33James 1:5Proverbs 3:5-6PR 19:11 Questions to Discuss:1. Who and what do you turn to when you're looking for counsel and advice?2. Are you more of an internal or external processor? How about your spouse?3. What's one decision you're facing right now—and have you gone to God first? Resources:Sermon – Questions to Ask When Making Decisions, by Jonathan “JP” PokludaPodcast – More Than Roommates Episode 22 - Episode 22 - What Questions Can Help You Make Decisions in Marriage?

I've faced physical suffering that leaves me asking why God created us so weak. My pain has taught me compassion, but I still struggle to understand its purpose. I've read Salvifici Doloris, but I need help connecting Theology of the Body to my suffering. Why does God allow this? What meaning is there in our bodily weakness?After our fourth child, my husband wants to space the next pregnancy and avoid contraception—but he's unsure about relying solely on NFP. He suggests abstinence for a while, but I'm worried about the impact on our relationship. How can we honor Church teaching, respect my need for rest, and stay close as husband and wife?I struggled with the idea of hell after college. How could a loving God allow eternal punishment? Then Theology of the Body opened my eyes: what if hell is the eternal ache of separation from the One who made us for love? Could the torment of hell be like the anguish of losing our truest beloved?Resources:Click here if you'd like to make a gift to the St. John Paul II Legacy Foundation⁠⁠GOOD NEWS ABOUT SEX & MARRIAGE⁠⁠Family of the AmericasCouple to Couple League---Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.Questions answered this episode:---Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.---

Send us a textThe aftermath of betrayal often leaves us scrambling to "fix" our broken marriage, convinced that our happiness depends entirely on our spouse's transformation. But what if these beliefs are actually preventing your healing?Drawing from years of helping clients navigate post-betrayal recovery, I challenge the misconception that rebuilding a marriage is solely your responsibility. When your spouse has an affair, they—not you—must own their choices completely. No matter what challenges existed in your marriage, you didn't cause their betrayal. Their willingness to take full responsibility and seek help understanding why they strayed is essential to genuine reconciliation. Without this commitment from both partners, one person alone cannot repair what's broken.Even more damaging is the belief that your happiness depends on your spouse changing. This mindset surrenders your emotional well-being to someone else's choices. While their actions certainly affect you, your thoughts about those actions largely determine your happiness. Many marriages get trapped in unhealthy power dynamics where one partner positions themselves as superior (one-up) while the other feels inadequate (one-down). Breaking free requires recognizing everyone's strengths and weaknesses without keeping score. What if both partners could be simultaneously amazing and flawed? What if different approaches to tasks weren't automatically judged as right or wrong?True healing begins when you reclaim responsibility for your own happiness while releasing the expectation that your spouse must transform to validate your worth. This doesn't mean accepting ongoing betrayal—rather, it means developing the emotional independence to make clear-headed decisions about your future from a place of personal strength rather than desperate dependency. Whether your marriage ultimately survives or not, you deserve to find your way to "happily even after."Ready to break free from betrayal trauma?

Hey friends, and welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn. I'm so grateful you're here. Today's episode is especially tender and powerful—one that will speak to anyone who's found themselves hurting in the shadows of someone else's struggle with addiction. I'm honored to be joined by Roxanna Johnson, a remarkable woman of faith, resilience, and wisdom. Roxanna has over 50 years of experience loving people who compulsively use substances or behaviors, including sexual addiction, to numb their pain. Her journey has taken her through two divorces and one recovered marriage that ended in loss due to death. Through it all, Roxanna has leaned into her faith, her professional background as a federal grant administrator, and the profound spiritual lessons she's learned by attending hundreds of 12-step meetings and applying powerful therapeutic principles. She recently poured all of that hard-earned insight into her book: Forgotten in the Battle with Sexual Addiction: The Journey of a Spouse. It's an honest and deeply personal look at what it means to live through betrayal and heartbreak—and still find hope, healing, and joy, even if your spouse doesn't choose recovery. Whether you're walking this path yourself or love someone who is, Roxanna's story will bless and strengthen you. • Learn more about my guest, Roxanna Johnson, HERE: https://forgotteninthebattlewithsexualaddictionthejourneyofaspouse.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKwN7VleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF5WkUyWG5aVlI2bkR3SWpZAR6tC8lHwhzShazlgiLh_1u9huVlxQyeuAw4QxB3qdmYgtaFc8OhELPK5iwKZQ_aem_mYZe0UsqIVZbxXu8bsVlHg IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGUN187O6KV/ • Join my exclusive Life Coaching and Divorce Mentoring Program, Faith Filled Divorce HERE: httpshttps:https://www.findthejoywithjenn.com/program-details • Get your FREE Podcast Atlas at: https://www.findthejoywithjenn.com/joy-in-the-journey-podcast • Make sure you are part of the Find the Joy With Jenn Fam!

eaky. Problems don't always arise from big juicy secrets. Sometimes they arise when a couple is super compatible and in love— but just has different expectations on money and work.
