Podcasts about Spouse

When it comes to dating your spouse, how often should you actually be going on dates? We started asking ourselves that question and quickly realized the answer depends on your relationship, your season of life, and what helps you feel connected. We share how our own approaches to dating have evolved over the years, from weekly nights out to low effort basement dates and small moments of connection throughout the week. We also dive into the research on dating your spouse, debate what actually counts as a date, and talk about why regular check-ins matter more than following someone else's rules.Key Topics Covered:The research behind dating your spouse, including the "gold standard" of weekly dates and the 2/2/2 method.Why Amy and Drew and Abby and Colin have completely different dating styles, and how their needs have evolved as their kids and schedules have changed.The debate over whether group dates count as dates and why couples may have different definitions of quality time.How to have honest conversations with your partner about feeling connected, sharing the mental load, and getting on the same page.Why meaningful connection can happen in everyday moments and does not always require elaborate plans or expensive nights out.LINKS AND RESOURCES:FORAGE KITCHEN: Check out your nearest locationAMAZON STOREFRONT: https://amzlink.to/az0BrkLl5pX9u Let's connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

FREE 10 Day Couples Challenge Check out Relationship Academy!  In this episode, we explore what pursuers can learn from withdrawer partners instead of seeing them as the “problem” in the relationship. Withdrawers often bring steadiness, pacing, self-regulation, and a needed reminder that not every issue has to be solved immediately. When pursuers can appreciate these differences, couples can move out of blame and into a more balanced, secure connection.

What happens when "help" from your spouse starts to feel more like criticism? In this episode, I talk about why even well-intentioned advice can feel like an attack when it isn't invited first, especially in conversations about sex and intimacy. I walk through how unsolicited feedback triggers defensiveness in our nervous systems, why both higher-desire and lower-desire spouses fall into this pattern, and how asking for consent before sharing can completely change the conversation. We'll also talk about practical ways to create emotional safety, move from defensiveness to curiosity, and build a marriage where both people actually feel heard. Sometimes the smallest shift, simply asking "Can I?", can open the door to the kind of connection you've been wanting all along.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a dynamic that exists quietly inside more first responder marriages than anyone wants to admit: the feeling that being fully honest with your spouse is not safe — and the slow, steady damage that silence does to a relationship when it becomes the default response to anything real. This is not about lying. It is about the moments where honesty feels too risky, too complicated, or too costly — and the first responder chooses silence, deflection, or a version of the truth that protects the peace instead of building genuine connection. This episode names what that pattern is, where it comes from, and what it is quietly doing to the marriages of the people who depend on that connection most.

"I struggle with rejection, even when I haven't actually been rejected." At our last Couple's Night, one of the guys put his finger on something that has a name: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. Check out the blog post here for more details and links.RSD is a wave of emotional pain that lands way out of proportion to whatever actually happened, and the rejection doesn't even have to be real. It is most strongly tied to ADHD, and in a marriage it can quietly do a lot of damage: over time the higher-desire spouse stops initiating, the marriage slowly goes quiet, and neither spouse understands why.In this episode I unpack what RSD actually is, how it shows up between spouses and in the bedroom, five things that genuinely help, and why none of it means you were woven wrong.In this episode:(0:00) Intro(1:13) What Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria actually is(2:00) When the rejection isn't even real(2:41) The ADHD connection(3:16) How RSD shows up in a marriage(4:11) RSD in the bedroom(5:20) What actually helps - 5 steps(7:05) Medication, and why SSRIs miss it(8:29) You're not woven wrong(11:09) Book a free ADHD discovery callScripture referenced: Psalm 139:13, Revelation 13:8, 2 Timothy 1:9, Ephesians 1:4, Titus 1:2, John 14:2-3, 1 Thessalonians 4:17, Revelation 21:3, Luke 23:42-43, Romans 10:9, Romans 10:13, John 3:16, Revelation 3:20, Revelation 22:17.Links mentioned:Married with ADHD - book a free discovery callMarriage CoachingSubscribe to our newsletterFollow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.If you'd like to discuss topics like this with other married Christians, consider joining our private forum.Thank you to all our faithful champions!If you'd like to support our ministry and see it grow, check out our support page for more info.

Why do so many romances involve betrayal? In this episode, I explain why love cheats as a narrative device to measure the depth and intensity of the romantic connection. This trope dates back to the very first romance, The song of Tristan and Iseult, in which love and duty are set on a tragic collision course. The more a character sacrifices, the more “real” their love appears to the audience. This is why this genre inadvertently glorifies the unfaithful spouse. The Captains' Quarters.

Someone can write “my spouse gets nothing” into a will, but North Carolina law may have the final say. We sit down to unpack the North Carolina elective share, the statute that helps protect surviving spouses from being disinherited unless they have signed a valid written waiver. If you are dealing with estate planning, probate, or a tough family situation after a death, this conversation clarifies what rights may exist even when the paperwork looks final. We walk through how the elective share amount is tied to the length of the marriage, with percentage tiers that rise over time. We also explain why the term “net estate” matters so much, because the calculation can reach beyond probate assets and may include items like life insurance and payable on death designations. That detail is often the moment people realize their assumptions about “keeping things out of the estate” do not always hold up under North Carolina elective share rules. We also talk about the marital home, where the stakes feel immediate. If a surviving spouse is not on the deed, the shock can be real, and we discuss the option to elect a life estate in the marital home instead of taking the percentage share. Finally, we highlight the practical urgency: the surviving spouse generally has only six months from the date the estate is opened to file the elective share, a short window during an already stressful time. If you found this helpful, subscribe for more elder law and estate planning guidance, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more North Carolina families find the show.

Love can be real while the spark feels gone, and that confusion is exactly where a lot of marriages get stuck. We kick off a Q&A run with five listener scenarios that sound different on the surface but point to the same tension: when life gets full, couples stop pursuing each other and start managing each other. If you've ever thought “Nothing is wrong, but something is missing,” you're not alone, and you're not out of options. We talk through what it means to fall out of love with a good spouse, how romantic feelings can come back when you return to the habits that built connection, and why your future together still matters long after the kids and calendars take over. Then we hit a tougher question: a spouse floating the idea of an open marriage. We unpack why that request rattles trust, what boundaries sound like in real life, and how to get to the truth underneath the curiosity. Next, we address checking a spouse's phone after sudden secrecy, password changes, and defensiveness, plus what to do when you find emotional intimacy aimed at someone else. We also get practical about the mental load, resentment, and communication gaps that make one partner feel like a single parent, and we close with a heartbreaking betrayal: an 18-year-old child helping cover a parent's affair and how forgiveness becomes the first step toward any kind of healing. If you like marriage advice that's direct, faith-rooted, and actionable, hit play, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more couples can find us.

In most marriages, one spouse has a higher desire for intimacy, while the other has a lower desire. And if you're being honest… navigating that difference can feel exhausting, confusing, and lonely.You talk about it. You have the hard conversations. Things improve for a few days… maybe even a week. But then somehow, you find yourselves stuck in the exact same argument again and again, wondering why nothing is actually changing and why your spouse still doesn't seem to hear or respond to what you need.So what do you do when communication alone isn't working?The truth is, you are far from alone.This week on the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy have sex therapist Austin on to discuss one of the most common. and emotionally charged struggles couples face: mismatched desire in marriage. They unpack why couples keep having the same frustrating conversations, what's really happening underneath the conflict, and how to finally create lasting change and deeper connection together.

What does your spouse feel like they're competing with? Your phone? Your work? The kids? Your hobbies? Stress? Exhaustion?

In this episode, we cover: Why emotional neglect often happens unintentionally. Common "competitors" that slowly pull couples apart. How phones, stress, work, hobbies, and parenting affect connection. Signs your spouse feels emotionally deprioritized. Practical ways to rebuild intentional connection.

What should a Christian look for in a future spouse? In this episode, Terry sits down with Josiah and several young men to discuss one of life's biggest decisions: choosing a husband or wife. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and years of marriage counseling, they explore what biblical dating should look like, the qualities that truly matter in a future spouse, and why character is far more important than outward appearance. Whether you're single, dating, engaged, or helping guide the next generation, this conversation offers practical wisdom and biblical insight for building relationships on a solid foundation.

This week, we tackle a listener question that sparked a really honest conversation in our own marriage: How do you pursue your spouse without making them feel like your pursuit is only about sex? We share openly about the different ways we experience pursuit, the challenges that can come with mismatched desires, and how easy it is to misread each other's intentions. What one spouse sees as connection, the other may experience as pressure. What feels loving to one person may not feel loving at all to the other. In this episode, we talk about the importance of understanding how your spouse defines pursuit, communicating expectations clearly, and learning to love your spouse in ways that make them feel seen, valued, and desired. We also discuss the role of flirting, friendship, emotional connection, and physical intimacy in building a healthy marriage. If you've ever thought, "I don't feel pursued," or wondered why your efforts don't seem to connect with your spouse, this conversation will give you practical insights and encourage you to have an important conversation together. Because the goal isn't simply to pursue your spouse the way you want to be pursued. The goal is to learn how to pursue them the way they need to be loved.

What if the distance you feel in your marriage isn't about love at all, but about a bank account that has quietly run low? In episode three of the Summer of Intimacy series, Christa dives into one of Gottman's most powerful research findings, positive sentiment override, and the hidden force that erodes it faster than almost anything else: mental load. If you have been quicker to snap, quicker to assume the worst, or quicker to feel alone even when your spouse is right there, this episode will give you the language for what is actually happening and a way back toward each other. Plus, Christa shares how she and Wes put last week's love maps questions into practice on a real date this week, and how you can do the same.

This week, Juli, Hannah, and Joe answer one of the hardest questions many of us face: What do I do if my spouse is looking at porn? This conversation is honest, compassionate, and full of hope. We talk through the pain, shame, confusion, and secrecy that pornography often brings into a marriage—and why healing is still possible for both the person struggling and the spouse who feels hurt and betrayed. You'll hear practical wisdom on how to find the support you need, why you can't be your spouse's accountability partner, and how true intimacy is about so much more than just changing a behavior. Whether this struggle has touched your marriage personally or that of someone you love, it's one you'll definitely want to share. Co-hosts: Hannah Nitz & Joe Caruso It's book launch week!
