In this week's episode of the Rich Habits Podcast, Robert Croak and Austin Hankwitz answer your questions!---

What do you do when it feels like your spouse cares more about their friends' opinions than yours? In this episode, Adam and Ashlee react to a viral clip of a husband who says his wife “respects her friends more than her husband,” then unpack what respect in marriage really looks like. They talk about the difference between wanting respect and demanding control, how roles and finances can affect respect, and why so many couples feel unseen or unheard in their own home.Ashlee also gets honest about how she vents and processes with friends, why she is extremely careful about how she talks about Adam, and why your “venting buddy” can either protect or poison your marriage. Adam shares a fresh story from their own home about Christmas-tree stress, short tempers, and what it looks like to NOT take everything personally, but still communicate honestly and grow. If you've ever wondered how much to share with friends, how to protect your spouse's character, or how to balance forgiveness with boundaries, this conversation is for you.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

In this episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons and PAX Financial Advisor Greyson Hanna take listeners through the emotional, practical, and behavioral realities that business owners face when preparing to transition out of their companies. Drawing on years of advising entrepreneurs - and personal experience from a family of business owners - Darryl explains why selling a business is far more than a financial transaction. They break the conversation into the six phases of PAX Financial Group's business transition process: Phase Zero: Understanding the Owner and Spouse, including personal history, sacrifices, communication styles, and behavioral tools like the Enneagram to uncover motivations and priorities. Phase One: Business Discovery & Exit Readiness Assessment, where owners begin evaluating industry dynamics, operational gaps, and qualitative questions that often seem simple - but prove surprisingly difficult to answer. Phase Two: Valuation Preparation, helping owners gather the information needed for an equity estimate that provides a directional view of their company's worth rather than relying on guesswork. Phase Three: Honest Conversations & Risk Review, inviting both spouses into discussions about fears, expectations, long-term goals, and the emotional impact of stepping away from the business. Phase Four: Strategy & Buyer Fit, covering potential internal and external buyers, tax considerations, tradeoffs, and the importance of allowing enough runway - often years, not weeks - to position the business properly. Phase Five: The "Wheel of Life" Transition, where owners begin planning purpose, meaning, and fulfillment beyond the sale, ensuring they enter retirement with clarity, stability, and a vision for how they want to spend their time. If you know a business owner preparing for their next chapter, feel free to share this episode with them!

In the second message of our sermon series I Will, we look at what it means to intentionally pursue your spouse. While hope alone can't build a strong marriage, intentionality can. Through choosing daily growth, prioritizing your spouse's needs, and creating rhythms that strengthen connection.

What do you do when someone flirts with you… and you're married? In this episode, Adam and Ashlee sit down at the table to talk about real-life moments of getting hit on at airports, stoplights, DMs, and even the doctor's office – and how they choose to respond as a husband and wife. They unpack why it's not always about the other person being “threatening,” but often about our own security, personality, and the health of our marriage.From joking about “being an Indiana 10” to sharing serious stories about boundaries, exes sliding into DMs, and how quickly “innocent” attention can become a doorway for the enemy, Adam and Ashlee walk through how they process attraction, jealousy, and honesty. They talk about knowing your spouse's personality, setting wise boundaries without becoming controlling, confessing when you crossed a line, and why your ultimate security has to be rooted in God – not in your spouse's flawless behavior. If you've ever wondered, “Should I tell my spouse when someone flirts with me?”, this one is for you.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

Is the hijab really just for helping men lower their gaze? Or is it a doorway to something far deeper, a spiritual practice that connects a woman directly with God, identity, dignity, and purpose?In this powerful and honest conversation, Ustadha Reem Shaikh (who memorized the Quran at the age of 7 and is now a PhD student at the University of Texas studying Islamic Law) opens up about her personal struggles with hijab, the pressure of social expectations, and how she shifted her entire understanding of modesty by decentering male behavior, cultural pressure, and fear of judgment, and centered it around worship of God alone.#hijab #muslimah #podcast*JOIN OUR YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP*OR*Support Us @* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/OR*Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcast/membership*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club*Pomoroi:* https://pomoroi.com/ansariMention the podcast for a FREE Consultation*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com*Habbah:* https://www.habbah.io*Humaniti:* https://donor.muslimi.com/page/Humaniti-emergency-Ansari00:00 Is Hijab Spiritual or Legal?02:44 Personal Struggles with Hijab07:06 Why Do Girls Take off the Hijab?12:49 Only Wears Hijab infront of Parents?15:13 What about Religious Non-Hijabis?17:45 When Should You Start Wearing Hijab?19:03 What If you're Embarrassed to Wear Hijab?25:26 Hijab Throughout History33:36 Should Women Actively Look for a Spouse?36:27 When Should You Get Married?41:13 Importance of the Mahr45:39 Stigma of Divorce*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast

The more one overfunctions (making decisions, remembering everything, managing household and parenting), the more the other underfunctions (waiting to be told, checking out, not initiating). This isn't about laziness or control, it's a reciprocal dance where you're creating each other's behavior. Christa breaks down how certain Enneagram types are more prone to overfunctioning (2s, 1s, 3s, 6s) or underfunctioning (9s, 5s, 7s, 4s), though any type can fall into either role. The way out? Overfunctioners must stop doing so much and create space. Underfunctioners must start doing without being asked. Both must recognize they're creating the pattern together. We talk about all of that right here! This episode is part of the ongoing family systems series also running on Instagram. For a deeper dive, tune in to Apple or join our E+M Collective here!

A great massage shouldn't end with a mad dash to the shower. This week, I'm talking with Justin and Natalie Weeks, the creators of Evree, to share how a single sticky night pushed them into a six-year journey across labs, ingredients, and countless iterations to build a truly different kind of product: a natural massage cream that melts at body temperature, glides like a dream, doubles as a safe intimate lubricant, and leaves skin soft instead of slick.We dig into why massage oils and lubricants are usually kept separate and why that causes real problems for couples. Many oils aren't vaginally safe and can trigger irritation, while a lot of lubes feel clinical and messy when used for full-body touch. Justin and Natalie explain how they insisted on 100% natural ingredients, no sugars, and subtle flavors like coconut lime and pineapple orange that smell like the real thing. The whipped, spa-like texture avoids the drip-and-spill of pumps, and the clean finish means you can roll over and nap instead of stripping the bed.I also share my own skeptic-to-believer moment: after trying Evree at home, the texture, the scent, and the non-sticky massage cream won me and my lotion-averse husband over. We talk about the emotional impact too: when mess and smell stop being barriers, couples say yes more often to touch, play, and intimacy. Evree's discreet jar looks at home on a nightstand, travels easily at 3.4 ounces, and a little goes a long way, with most people repurchasing every three to four months.If you care about natural ingredients, skin nourishment, and a stress-free path from massage to closeness, this conversation will change the game when it comes to intimacy and connection. Get a 10% off discount at http://www.evreesensation.com/moni.

There's a reason certain questions rise to the surface at 2:00 a.m.—the hour when the house is quiet and the worries feel loudest. One of the questions couples wrestle with most in those restless moments is, “When will my spouse ever change?” It's a question born from disappointment, discouragement, and the fear that nothing will ever be different. In this episode, Rusty and Heather gently turn that question in a new direction. Instead of focusing on what a spouse is or isn't doing, they explore the deeper truth that genuine transformation in a marriage often begins within the heart that is willing to be changed. When a person stops trying to fix or manage their spouse's growth and instead comes to God with humility, readiness, and expectation, something shifts. A surrendered heart becomes the doorway to peace, clarity, and spiritual growth—even if the circumstances in the marriage haven't moved yet. Listeners will hear how preparing one's own heart creates space for God to work in ways frustration never could. Rusty and Heather describe the difference between waiting for a spouse to become someone new and allowing God to shape one's own responses, attitudes, and patterns. It's a hopeful reframe for anyone lying awake at night, exhausted from carrying the weight of change that was never theirs to hold. There's hope at 2:00 a.m. And it starts with a simple shift: “God, change me first.” Visit our website Watch us on YouTube
