Podcasts about relationships

Season 20 of “Married at First Sight” is safely in the can, and, as we hoped, six of the seven couples are safely separated from each other! In this recap, Claire and Leigh talk about Decision Day, from the reveal of Felipe's vile off-camera comments to Tori to the oddly timed gifting of a Ninja Creami, before diving into the action-packed reunion. Relationship experts Paul and Dr. Lisa have taken off their therapist hats and donned their tea-spilling host ensembles, and they're ready to take stock of the emotional wounds inflicted on the show's cast by their mostly short-lived marriages. Mecca and Bellé discuss their post-show split, while Michelle and Cam share mostly happy updates from the first year of married life. Marissa is finally ready to share her truth: She despises Adam and his cooking. Tori wants to know why she was ever even placed in Felipe's vicinity. Adam makes fun of Courteney's pickleball skills until she cries, all while wearing his most attention-seeking ensemble yet. Caitlin and Devin somehow slide under the radar, but Nikki and Shawn? They have no shortage of grievances to air.

Have you ever felt like fully expressing who you are might make you too much for the people around you? In this episode, I'm unpacking a fear I see in so many ambitious, successful women: the fear that becoming more visible, successful, bold, or fully expressed could cost us connection and belonging. I share a powerful conversation with a friend that helped me recognize where I'm still navigating this pattern myself, why your next level likely isn't blocked by a lack of strategy, and what can happen when you unconsciously make yourself more palatable to keep others comfortable. Plus, I share 2 practical ways to start rewiring this pattern so you can feel safer being fully seen, step into your next level of impact, and reach the people who need what only YOU can offer.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 The hidden fear that can keep ambitious women from fully expressing themselves. 03:15 Why your next level probably isn't blocked by a lack of strategy. 04:26 What happens when your success starts to feel isolating. 06:00 How being told you're "too much" can follow you into your success. 09:00 The tension between wanting MORE and fearing what it could cost you. 11:30 Are you unconsciously making yourself less visible to protect your relationships? 13:24 The realization that made me take my own advice about being fully seen. 15:00 What your fear of "showing off" could be costing the people you're meant to serve. 17:51 How to separate yourself from the limiting pattern you want to change. 19:00 Why your full self-expression could become someone else's permission slip. 22:00 The first thing you need to do if you're afraid of being "too much." 24:00 The uncomfortable truth about using other people's reactions to keep yourself small. 26:14 Why you need people who won't let you play smaller than your potential. 27:15 How to "microdose" being too much and rewire your relationship with visibility. 29:00 The connection between self-expression and truly authentic relationships. 30:39 Who misses out when you make yourself more palatable for everyone else.   RESOURCES + LINKS Join me inside: THE UPGRADE - You know you're meant for more.

We're BACK with the most popular series of the year: COUPLES THERAPY! And we hit the ground running in this heated episode with Curt and Lindsey.They've been dating for quite some time, moving toward marriage, yet they still don't see eye to eye about some of their boundaries in the relationship. Curt feels uncomfortable with some of Lindsey's decisions and interactions, and Lindsey feels like Curt is not able to understand her perspective, nor trust her to make good choices. Is this an issue of healthy boundaries, or is this an issue of control? Debra helps them get to the root of what might actually be going on underneath their conflict, and the deeper feelings and needs that each one of them need to communicate. This conversation gets a little tense, which is exactly why healthy relationships require us to have the skills to navigate difficult topics and stay engaged.

Today we are talking about something that I think we all need to know about…  How to reset your dopamine. And before you think this is going to be one of those extreme episodes where I tell you to throw your phone into the ocean, stop drinking coffee, sit in a dark room for three days and eliminate everything fun from your life… That is absolutely not what we are doing. Because dopamine isn't bad. We need dopamine. Dopamine is part of what makes us want things. Pursue things. Work toward goals. Get up and go. The problem is that we are living in an environment where we can get enormous amounts of stimulation with almost zero effort. Open Instagram. Refresh your email. Check likes. Open TikTok. Eat something hyper-palatable. Buy something. Get a notification. Watch another episode. Click another video. Check your texts. Pick up your phone because you have 17 seconds with nothing to do. We have essentially eliminated boredom. And I think we need to talk about what that is doing to us. Because I don't think most people have a motivation problem. I think some people have made normal life too boring compared to the stimulation they consume all day long.   Think about this. Working toward a goal is slow. Building a business is slow. Getting stronger is slow. Improving a relationship is slow. Reading a book is slow. Learning something difficult is slow.     But your phone can give you novelty every half second. So what happens when your brain gets accustomed to incredibly stimulating rewards that require almost no effort? The things that actually build an awesome life can start feeling painfully boring.   And THAT is what I want to change today. I've been going deep into what Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson, Stanford addiction psychiatrist Anna Lembke, Peter Attia and Gary Brecka have discussed around dopamine, reward, pleasure, discomfort and motivation. And there is one massive theme that keeps coming up: We need to stop getting so many rewards without earning them.   We need less cheap dopamine… And more earned dopamine. More accomplishment dopamine. More anticipation. More effort. More challenge. More doing hard things and feeling awesome afterward.   So today we're going to talk about what dopamine actually does, why our modern environment can completely screw with our motivation, what people mean by a dopamine reset, and most importantly… How we actually do it. Not forever. Not perfectly. But intentionally enough that normal life starts feeling interesting again.       Because imagine waking up and actually WANTING to work on your goals. Imagine sitting in your car without immediately opening your phone. Imagine finishing a workout and letting that accomplishment be the reward instead of instantly needing another stimulus. Imagine being fully engaged in dinner. Or a conversation. Or a walk. Or your kids. Or your work. That's what we're after. Not less enjoyment. More enjoyment from the things that actually matter. FIRST… WHAT IS DOPAMINE? Dopamine isn't simply the "pleasure chemical" This is probably the biggest misunderstanding. Dopamine plays a huge role in motivation, pursuit, learning, reinforcement and determining what your brain decides is worth pursuing again. Think less "this makes me happy" and more: "Go get that again." It's a molecule heavily involved in wanting and pursuing. Huberman explains dopamine in terms of baseline and peaks You have a baseline level of dopamine. Then certain experiences generate temporary increases above that baseline. The important part is what happens afterward. A big dopamine peak can be followed by a period where dopamine activity falls below where it was previously. This is part of why something incredible can sometimes leave you feeling strangely flat afterward. The higher and more frequently we chase enormous peaks, the more ordinary activities can start losing their appeal. Think about it like contrast If you eat incredibly sweet processed foods all day… A blueberry doesn't taste very sweet. There isn't anything wrong with the blueberry. Your reference point changed. The same general concept applies here. When your environment becomes filled with intense stimulation… Quiet feels boring. Reading feels boring. Work feels boring. Walking feels boring. A normal conversation feels boring. Your life didn't necessarily become boring. Your stimulation threshold changed. WHAT I MEAN BY "CHEAP DOPAMINE" I'm going to use the phrase cheap dopamine throughout this episode even though scientifically dopamine itself isn't cheap or expensive. What I mean is: A high-reward experience requiring very little effort. Things like: Endless short-form videos Constant social media refreshing Notifications Online shopping Gambling Highly processed foods Video games for hours and hours Constant snacking Drinking Continually checking texts Refreshing email Internet rabbit holes Watching episode after episode after episode Constant novelty And here's the key… None of those things has to be inherently evil. It's the dose. The frequency. And whether you've lost control over your consumption. There's a massive difference between choosing to watch a movie on Saturday night… And being literally unable to stand in an elevator for 25 seconds without checking your phone. That's the part I want us to notice. THE WORLD HAS REMOVED THE WAITING This might be one of the biggest problems. Almost everything used to have some friction. You wanted food? You cooked it. You wanted entertainment? You waited until your show came on. You wanted to talk to your friend? You called them. Maybe they weren't home. You wanted to buy something? You drove somewhere. You wanted information? You found a book. Now? Everything is immediate. Food. Entertainment. Shopping. Attention. Validation. Communication. Information. Novelty. Almost every human desire has an app attached to it. And our brains evolved in an environment where rewards generally required work. Now we can receive reward after reward while lying horizontally on the couch. That is a massive mismatch. THE PLEASURE-PAIN SEESAW One of my favorite explanations comes from Dr. Anna Lembke. She describes pleasure and pain almost like opposite sides of a balance. When we repeatedly push hard toward pleasure… Our brain tries to restore balance. And over time, you may need more of the stimulus just to experience the same effect. This is incredibly obvious with severe addiction. But I think it's useful to recognize much milder versions in ourselves. Have you ever: Opened Instagram for five minutes and 45 minutes disappeared? Finished a show and immediately needed another episode? Finished dessert and started looking for something else sweet? Checked one notification and then somehow checked four different apps? Picked up your phone without consciously deciding to? That automatic reaching is important. You aren't necessarily choosing anymore. You're responding. And I want us to get back into choosing. WHY NOTHING FEELS EXCITING ANYMORE Sometimes people say: "I'm unmotivated." "I don't feel like working." "I can't concentrate." "I'm bored." "I don't really feel excited about anything." Obviously there can be many medical, psychological and situational reasons for those feelings. But there is another question worth asking: How much stimulation are you consuming? Because if you're exposing yourself to novelty constantly… Your brain never gets a chance to be bored enough to create. Never bored enough to think. Never bored enough to solve a problem. Never bored enough to decide what you actually want. We're treating boredom like an emergency. I actually think boredom is incredibly productive. Some of my best ideas happen when there's nothing else coming into my brain. And we are filling every single empty pocket.   DOPAMINE STACKING Huberman talks about something that I think is fascinating: stacking multiple dopamine-producing experiences together. Think about a workout. Exercise itself can be rewarding. But now we add: Pre-workout. Favorite playlist. Phone. Texts. Social media. Energy drink. Maybe stimulants. Maybe a reward meal afterward. Maybe we post the workout and check responses. We've taken one intrinsically rewarding activity and stacked reward upon reward upon reward. And his point isn't that you can never do those things. It's that you don't necessarily want every good experience in life turned up to 100 every single time. Sometimes train without the perfect playlist. Sometimes walk without the podcast. Sometimes drink the coffee without simultaneously scrolling Instagram. Sometimes eat without watching television. Separate the rewards. You don't have to eliminate pleasure. Stop supercharging every experience. LEARN TO LOVE EFFORT This might be my favorite part of the entire episode. We need to stop making the reward exclusively something that comes AFTER the work. "I'll work out and then I can have this." "I'll finish this project and then I'll reward myself." "I'll complete my work and then I'll scroll." There's nothing wrong with celebrating accomplishments. But we also want to train ourselves to associate the effort itself with something positive. Because if the entire purpose of doing something difficult is the reward waiting at the end… The work becomes something you're trying to escape. Instead: "This discomfort means I'm getting stronger." "This is hard because I'm growing." "I'm proud of myself for doing this when I don't feel like doing it." "This is what keeping promises to myself feels like." "This is who I am." That shift is huge. The workout becomes the win. Doing the work becomes the win. Keeping the promise becomes the win. USE DISCOMFORT ON PURPOSE This theme comes up across a lot of these conversations. We're living in an unbelievably comfortable world. Temperature-controlled houses. Food everywhere. Cars. Couches. Entertainment. Delivery. Escalators. Amazon. Everything is optimized to eliminate friction. But voluntary discomfort can be incredibly valuable. Exercise. Walking. Strength training. Running. Sauna. Cold exposure when appropriate and done safely. Doing something physically difficult. Getting outside when conditions aren't perfect. Taking the stairs. Having the difficult conversation. Doing the work you're avoiding. The idea isn't: "Suffering is good." The idea is: Stop organizing your entire life around avoiding discomfort. Because challenge followed by satisfaction is very different from pleasure followed by emptiness. One you earned. One you consumed. We need both fun and hard things. But modern life has heavily tilted us toward consumption. DON'T START YOUR DAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S DOPAMINE Here's something I think would change a lot of people's lives. Do not roll over and immediately hand your brain to your phone. Because instantly you've got: Texts. News. Instagram. Email. TikTok. Other people's emergencies. Other people's opinions. Other people's lives. Other people's accomplishments. Other people's bodies. Other people's vacations. Other people's businesses. Other people's problems. Before you've even decided what YOU want your day to look like. I would rather protect that first part of the morning. Wake up. Water. Sunlight. Walk. Workout. Journal. Think. Plan. Work. Whatever your routine is. Just don't immediately flood your brain with novelty. You should decide the direction of your day before an algorithm decides it for you. THE 2.0 DOPAMINE RESET Okay. Here is what I would actually do. Not some insane internet detox. A realistic reset. RULE #1: Identify YOUR cheap dopamine Ask yourself: What do I compulsively reach for? Not what does the internet tell me is bad. What has control over ME? Maybe yours is: Instagram. TikTok. Shopping. Sugar. Video games. News. YouTube. Email. Texting. Something else. Identify the top one or two. Don't try to become a monk overnight. RULE #2: Take a meaningful break from the biggest offender If something truly feels compulsive, consider taking a real period away from it rather than constantly trying to moderate it. Try deleting it for a week. Maybe two. Maybe 30 days. See what happens. You might be shocked by how often your hand reaches for an app that isn't there. That's valuable information. RULE #3: Stop filling every gap This is a HUGE one. We're bringing back empty space. Stand in line. Just stand there. Drive five minutes. No podcast. Walk around the block. No headphones. Sit outside. Do nothing. Take a shower without content playing. Cook dinner without a video. You are retraining yourself to tolerate a lower level of stimulation. And here's the funny thing… After a while it doesn't feel low stimulation. It feels peaceful. RULE #4: Create phone-free zones Pick places where your phone does not belong. Examples: Bedroom Dinner table Gym Family time Bathroom First hour of the morning Last hour before bed Don't rely purely on willpower. Change your environment. Leave the phone somewhere else. Make the bad habit inconvenient. RULE #5: Turn off almost every notification Notifications are someone else deciding when your attention moves. Think about that. Unless something legitimately requires immediate attention… Turn it off. RULE #6: Stop stacking everything Coffee + Instagram + television + food + texting? No. Pick one. Workout + podcast + scrolling between sets + energy drink + Instagram? Simplify it. Let an experience stand alone. Food can just be food. Coffee can just be coffee. A walk can just be a walk. A conversation can just be a conversation. RULE #7: Get your dopamine through pursuit This is the big replacement strategy. You can't just remove things. You need better things to move toward. Exercise. Building something. Learning. Working. Creating. Sports. Relationships. Adventure. Goals. Competition. Skill. Experiences. Meaningful challenges. Get obsessed with something difficult. That is completely different than being addicted to consumption. RULE #8: Do one hard thing every day I love this rule. Every day, intentionally do something that you'd rather avoid. Workout hard. Make the phone call. Send the proposal. Clean the closet. Have the conversation. Finish the project. Run the hill. Get into the cold water if that's safe for you. Walk when you'd rather sit. Do the thing you've been procrastinating. You start creating evidence: "I don't have to feel like doing something in order to do it." That is power. RULE #9: Prioritize sleep Your brain isn't operating independently of your body. If you're chronically sleep-deprived, everything becomes harder. Motivation. Impulse control. Training. Food choices. Emotional regulation. Focus. Peter Attia and Huberman both hammer sleep for a reason. If we're trying to optimize our brain while sleeping five hours… We're focusing on the wrong end of the problem. RULE #10: Morning sunlight and movement Huberman talks frequently about getting outdoor light early in the day to anchor your circadian system. I love pairing that with movement. Outside. Walk. Light. No Instagram. Let your nervous system wake up naturally. It's incredibly simple. And simple things done repeatedly tend to beat complicated hacks. THE 24-HOUR CHALLENGE Here is your challenge. For the next 24 hours: No phone for the first 30 minutes after waking. No social media until you've completed something productive. Turn off unnecessary notifications. No phone while eating. Take one walk without headphones. Do one difficult thing you've been avoiding. No double-screening. If you're watching TV, you're not also scrolling. Put your phone outside your bedroom tonight. Let yourself experience boredom. Notice every time you instinctively reach for stimulation. Don't judge yourself. Observe yourself. Because awareness is the beginning of changing anything. THEN TRY SEVEN DAYS Now let's level it up. For seven days: Reduce your biggest cheap-dopamine behavior dramatically. You don't need to eliminate all pleasure. In fact, please don't. Go to dinner. Laugh. Drink your coffee. Listen to music. Hang with friends. Enjoy your life. This isn't punishment. We're trying to reclaim our ability to enjoy NORMAL things. That's the goal. Less artificial stimulation. More real life. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION Before you reach for something, ask: Am I choosing this, or am I escaping something? That question can completely change things. Why am I opening Instagram? Because I intentionally decided to spend 15 minutes enjoying it? Fine. Or because this task got difficult? Why am I eating this? Because I'm hungry and I want it? Fine. Or because I'm uncomfortable? Why am I drinking? Because I'm celebrating with friends? Or because I can't tolerate sitting with how I feel? Why am I checking email for the 47th time? Because I'm waiting for something important? Or because working on the project in front of me is harder? That pause between impulse and behavior… That's where your power is. CHEAP DOPAMINE VS EARNED DOPAMINE This is the easiest way I can summarize the episode. Cheap dopamine: Consume. Scroll. Click. Watch. Refresh. Snack. Buy. Escape. Earned dopamine: Build. Train. Create. Learn. Connect. Explore. Compete. Finish. Accomplish. The first category isn't evil. But if the balance of your life is overwhelmingly consumption… Don't be surprised when your motivation disappears. Shift the ratio. More creating. Less consuming. More doing. Less watching. More participating. Less observing. More real life. Less digital life. WE NEED ANTICIPATION BACK I think anticipation is disappearing. When everything is immediately available… There's nothing to look forward to. And looking forward to something is part of the fun. Plan the trip. Wait for Friday night. Save the amazing dessert for dinner. Don't buy everything the second you want it. Put the concert on the calendar. Build toward the race. Earn the reward. Delay things intentionally sometimes. The waiting isn't ruining the experience. The waiting IS part of the experience. YOUR LIFE SHOULD NOT NEED CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT This might be the line I want you to remember. You should not need to be entertained every minute in order to enjoy your life. Your kids shouldn't either. We need boring car rides. We need afternoons with nothing scheduled. We need conversations without phones. We need walks. We need staring out the freaking window. We need thinking. We need daydreaming. We need opportunities for our brains to say: "Okay… what should we do?" Creativity often appears after the stimulation disappears. THE GOAL IS NOT LOWER DOPAMINE This is important. We're not trying to crush dopamine. We're not trying to become emotionless. We're not trying to avoid things that make us feel amazing. We're trying to protect our ability to feel amazing. That's different. We want the vacation to feel incredible. The concert. The accomplishment. The amazing dinner. The business win. The race. The adventure. The hug. The goal. The experience. We just don't need to manufacture an artificial mini-version of that feeling 800 times between breakfast and lunch. Leave some room. Let your baseline exist without constantly smashing the stimulation button.   Here's what I think is so interesting about all of this. We have designed a world where almost everything that used to require effort can now be accessed instantly. And that sounds like freedom. But if we're not careful… Convenience becomes dependence. Entertainment becomes distraction. Pleasure becomes compulsion. And access becomes addiction. The answer isn't to reject modern life. I'm certainly not giving up my phone. I'm not giving up coffee. I'm not giving up Instagram. I'm not giving up amazing food or concerts or trips or all the fun things. I want MORE life. That's actually the entire point. I don't want to spend my life looking down at a screen getting tiny rewards when there are enormous rewards available by actually participating in life. I want the dopamine from doing the workout I didn't want to do. Building the business. Taking the trip. Making the memory. Trying something new. Getting really freaking good at something. Having an amazing conversation. Being completely present with my kids. Creating something I'm proud of. Doing something hard. That's the dopamine I want more of. And maybe the simplest takeaway from this whole episode is this: Stop making pleasure so easy and effort so optional. Let yourself work for things. Let yourself wait for things. Let yourself be bored. Let yourself struggle. Let yourself anticipate. Let yourself earn some of the really good feelings. Because when we stop trying to make every moment maximally stimulating… Something really cool happens. Normal life starts becoming awesome again. And that is how to be awesome at resetting your dopamine.

Zach sits down with Neal and Rachel Miskell, a couple who got married in 2008, divorced, and remarried years later, and asks the question most people never get to ask a couple who made it back: what actually happened in between? Rachel is a mom of three and a marketing director for the 11th Force Support Squadron on an Air Force base. Neal had just come home from Afghanistan when their marriage started to unravel, carrying PTSD, contempt, and a habit of projecting his pain onto Rachel. The conversation is less about what broke them than about the specific, unglamorous work that put them back together.Neal traces his turning point to therapy, and to one question from his therapist that he still remembers word for word: have you ever listened to yourself talk? That's the moment he learned what congruency meant, that his thoughts, words, and actions weren't lining up, and started doing the harder work of owning his part, including a small, petty story about refusing to buy Rachel a birthday gift that he still isn't proud of. Rachel tells her side plainly: she wasn't interested in fixing anything at first. She wanted to tolerate what was happening, not repair it, and she refused to go to therapy until she'd decided for herself whether the marriage could actually be different. The shift for her didn't come from Neal's effort alone. It came the day their divorce was finalized, watching how hurt he was, and realizing she'd made a mistake.What makes the episode land is how unsentimental both of them are about the process. Neal describes the two and a half years he spent doing his own work while Rachel wasn't ready to meet him there, and the moment he finally had to be at peace with the possibility that she never would be. Rachel names her own condition plainly: therapy, together, or nothing. They talk about the R3 framework Neal built out of that period, regulated, respectful, repairable, and Reframe, the communication tool he created to help couples catch toxic patterns before they cause damage. Zach's read on the whole thing is the throughline that ties it together: people don't change until something forces them to, and the real skill isn't avoiding the blowup, it's learning how to repair after one. For anyone wondering whether a broken marriage can actually be rebuilt, or bracing for the possibility that it can't, this is a rare look at two people who did it twice.Key TakeawaysRepair matters more than perfection. Neal and Rachel are explicit that their second marriage isn't conflict-free, it's just better at recovering from conflict.Change that only happens under threat of losing the relationship isn't the finish line. The real work is learning to keep changing once the threat is gone."The pattern is the problem, not the person" reframes blame into something both partners can actually work on together.Refusing therapy isn't always avoidance. For Rachel, it was about deciding for herself whether the marriage could change before she'd risk being hurt again.Congruency, when your thoughts, words, and actions actually line up, is a specific, checkable thing, not a vague self-improvement goal.Small resentments compound. Neal's story about withholding a birthday gift shows how petty moments build into the bigger pattern that ends a marriage.Watching a partner sustain change over years, not weeks, is often what makes reconciliation possible.A shared condition, like committing to therapy together, can be the line that turns "maybe" into "yes."Guest InfoNeal Miskell is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and the founder of WEreFrame LLC, creator of Reframe, a communication tool built on the R3 framework (regulated, respectful, repairable) that helps people catch toxic communication patterns before they cause damage. He and Rachel married in 2008, divorced, and remarried after several years of individual and couples therapy. He's on the episode to walk through what his own accountability work looked like from the inside, and to talk about the tool he built out of that process.Rachel Miskell is a mom of three and a marketing director for the 11th Force Support Squadron, supporting programs for single airmen and families on an Air Force base. She's Neal's wife, and she's on the episode as a voice in her own right: the partner who refused therapy until she was ready, who needed real evidence of change before she'd risk trusting it again, and who ultimately chose to rebuild the marriage on her own terms.Website: wereframe.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Travis Scott, CEO of Visit Big Bear, joins Adam Stoker for a conversation about running a rural destination when everything is on the line. Travis tells the story behind Jackie, Big Bear's world-famous bald eagle, and how Visit Big Bear turned a small nonprofit's unwatched nest cam into a global phenomenon while agreeing to take zero branding in return. He explains how he rebuilt trust at Visit Mendocino County by building a coalition instead of a plan, why Big Bear's real problem was never over-tourism but visitor distribution, and what moved him from destination marketing to destination management. With much of the Western U.S. on fire, Travis closes with the crisis playbook he's built across two rural DMOs — starting with the rule that gives this episode its name. Plus, Adam opens with the DMO that was missing from his hometown parade, and the float he'd build instead. Subscribe to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Can a little relationship math actually help keep a couple connected? In this episode, I'm talking about the viral 777 Relationship Rule—the idea of intentionally making time for a date every 7 days, a night or getaway together every 7 weeks, and a vacation every 7 months. I'm sharing what I think the rule gets right, where real life might make the formula a little unrealistic, and whether relationships really need a schedule to keep connection from getting lost in work, kids and everyday responsibilities. Maybe the numbers aren't magic—but the intention behind them just might be worth paying attention to. - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

Send us a messageEpisode 232: How to Help Your Adult Child Feel Heard and Emotionally Safe: Helpful Therapy Words, part 2Your adult child may be telling you they don't feel heard, understood, or emotionally safe with you. And if you're a parent who genuinely loves your child and wants a close relationship, those words can be painful and confusing.You may be thinking, I am listening. I do care. Why doesn't my child see that?In Part 2 of Therapy Words That Can Actually Help, we're talking about three relationship skills that can change the way difficult conversations with your adult child feel: curiosity, attunement, and emotional safety.These words are not about agreeing with everything your adult child says or taking responsibility for every feeling they have. They are about learning how to understand your child's experience before trying to explain, correct, defend, or solve it.When an adult child feels misunderstood, criticized, dismissed, or pressured, they may begin sharing less. Over time, difficult conversations can become something both parent and adult child avoid. Curiosity, attunement, and emotional safety give you a different way to approach those moments and can help create the conditions for more honest communication and stronger connection.In this episode, you'll learn:How curiosity can improve communication with your adult child by replacing defensiveness, assumptions, and problem-solving with a genuine desire to understand what they are experiencing.What attunement means in a parent-adult child relationship and why listening to the emotion underneath your child's words can sometimes matter more than finding the perfect response.What emotional safety actually looks like between a parent and an adult child, especially when you disagree about choices, beliefs, relationships, or painful events from the past.Why making your adult child feel heard does not require you to agree with them, accept their interpretation as the only truth, or abandon your own perspective.How to have difficult conversations with your adult child without immediately defending yourself, explaining your intentions, or trying to fix the problem, so there is more room for understanding and connection.In Part 1 of this series, we talked about differentiation and acceptance: staying grounded in yourself while accepting what is actually happening in the relationship. Those skills create the foundation for what comes next. Curiosity, attunement, and emotional safety are about what happens when you turn toward your adult child and try to understand their experience.You do not have to say everything perfectly for your adult child to feel more comfortable talking with you. Often, the biggest shift begins when they sense that you are trying to understand them instead of preparing to defend yourself.And that can change the entire direction of a conversation.In Part 3, we'll take the next step and talk about repair and accountability, especially when there has already been hurt or conflict in the parent-adult child relationship.If you know another parent who is struggling in their relationship with an adult child, share this episode with them. They may need to hear it too.Click Here to download the free guide: 5 Steps to Take Before Trying to Repair the Relationship with Your Adult Child Tina Gosney is the Family Conflict Coach.

What if getting more money isn't actually the thing that will make you feel financially safe? In this episode of The Manifestation & Money Podcast, I'm joined by psychic money mindset coach and host of The Money Mystic podcast, Kelly Dawn, for a conversation about taking our power back from money, building self-trust, and feeling safe enough to go after the big things we really want. Kelly shares a powerful realization from her own money journey: she finally reached the number in her bank account that she thought would make her feel safe, secure and abundant… and within days, she was worrying about money again. Because sometimes the problem isn't the number. It's the relationship we've created with the number. We talk about how easily we allow a great sales month, an unexpected bill, a bank balance—or even a refund—to determine how we feel about ourselves and what we believe is possible. Kelly also shares a fascinating exercise for uncovering your hidden money stories: open your banking app, look at your numbers and journal about what comes up. What are you thinking? What are you feeling? Where do you notice it in your body? Those reactions might tell you far more about your relationship with money than the actual number on the screen. We also dive into: ✨ Why more money doesn't automatically create more financial safety ✨ How we unknowingly give our power away to money ✨ The "once I have the money, then I'll…" trap ✨ Creating feelings of safety, security and abundance NOW ✨ Using your bank account to uncover hidden money beliefs ✨ Why your body can reveal money blocks your conscious mind doesn't see ✨ Building self-trust through small, everyday promises ✨ Why big manifestations feel harder than parking spots and white feathers ✨ Taking your biggest desires off the pedestal ✨ Learning to do things scared instead of waiting for fear to disappear ✨ Trusting the intuitive nudges that don't always make logical sense ✨ Giving yourself permission to want more than a life that's simply "fine" One of my favorite reminders from this conversation? You don't need the entire path laid out in front of you. You just need enough light to see the next little piece.

Resharing this episode as lately so many of you have been asking about my weight loss journey after I lost 30 pounds for my health. I share the key changes I made to my diet and routine to lose weight in a healthy way. The wellness world has thousands of conflicting messages on the best ways to eat food and exercise for weight loss, so I wanted to share the tips my nutritionist specifically gave me that have actually worked for me. 

If a relationship ends, does that mean it didn't work? It's an assumption Rosie carried from childhood without realizing how deeply it shaped her understanding of love. But relationships can end with growth, care, and dignity intact, inviting a different question: what if permanence was never the only measure of success? Learn more about your ad choices.

In part Two of this weeks episode of So Shameless, the crew gets into dating, gender roles, friendship boundaries and what actually counts as disrespect when you're in a relationship. Should men be expected to handle the traditionally masculine things while women handle the feminine things in a relationship—or are those expectations outdated? We also debate whether men ruin friendships with women by eventually wanting sex, and whether a woman planning AND paying for the third date is showing healthy interest or doing way too much, way too soon. Plus, do men take women who are constantly dating different people seriously when it comes time to choose a relationship? Paris opens up about her history of dating the “fun guys”—men who are into clubs, bars, cars, clothes and the lifestyle—and whether choosing excitement over stability may have been working against her. Then we get into social media relationship boundaries: Is a man liking other women's pictures on Instagram harmless, or is it disrespectful to his relationship? Finally, the crew reacts to Funky Dineva's controversial comments about parents bringing autistic children into public spaces where people have a “reasonable expectation of peace,” including restaurants and airplanes—and whether expecting that kind of “peace” in a shared public space is reasonable in the first place. Dating expectations. Gender roles. Friendship. Social media. Relationship boundaries. And another conversation where the cast of So Shameless and their guests probably aren't going to agree on anything. Enjoy!

You love them. So why can't you shake the feeling that something might be wrong? Nothing is bad enough to leave. There's no glaring red flag. You're happy… mostly. But when you imagine getting engaged, moving in together, having a baby, or saying this is my person forever, something inside you hesitates. Do NOT ignore that feeling. But don't assume it means you should break up, either. In this episode, I'm sitting down with marriage and family therapist Dr. Benjamin Jones about the yellow, orange, and even beige flags that can leave you questioning your future together…and how to figure out what they actually mean. Dr. Ben offers a reframe that changes everything: Stop waiting for certainty. Start looking for confidence. You'll learn: How to tell a solvable problem from a real deal breaker Why you should never marry someone expecting them to change The question to ask when you love someone but still aren't sure Why confidence matters more than certainty Which relationship problems can actually get better with the right support Why waiting until after you're engaged to ask the hard questions may be too late If you're questioning whether this is really your person, listen to this episode before you make your next move.

Daily Boost Podcast Ambition vs Peace of Mind August 31, 2026 | Episode 5531 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description You set the goal. You hit the goal. And then you stand there, wondering why it doesn't feel the way you thought it would. I've watched that happen hundreds of times, and I finally figured out what's missing. It isn't ambition. It's the ground you're standing on when you launch. Today I'm walking you through what I call a peaceful base — the six areas that have to be solid before anything big you build will hold. Time. Body. Mind. Money. Relationships. Meaning. Go big. Just don't launch off a hot mess. Let's get your foundation right. Featured Story I brought this whole idea up with my wife over breakfast, and she asked me to explain it in a way she could actually feel. So I pointed at her laptop. Every single morning, before she eats, she flips it open and balances our books. House and business, both. She looks at the numbers, sees that we're fine, closes the laptop, and her whole day settles. I would never do that. It would drive me crazy. I don't touch it. But watching her that morning, something clicked for me. That laptop isn't bookkeeping. That's her ground. That's the thing she stands on before she does anything else. And most people don't have one. Important Points Your schedule serves you, or it serves everyone else. Control your time first, because it controls everything after. A peaceful base isn't a retirement plan. It's the active ground you build on so your big goals actually hold up. Six areas hold you up: time, body, mind, money, relationships, and meaning. Weak in one and the whole thing wobbles. Memorable Quotes We set the goal, we reach the goal, we accomplish the goal, and yet we don't get what we really, really wanted. You can't have a cool life on a hot mess. If you want to launch something big, you better have a solid foundation. If you don't control your time, you control nothing. And you can control your time. I know it's hard. Scott's Three-Step Approach Pick the one area of your base that feels shakiest right now — time, body, mind, money, relationships, or meaning. Fix that one with a small daily habit you'll actually stick to, like my wife balancing the books every single morning. Only then launch your big goal from that solid ground, and keep the base strong while you chase whatever you want.

In XYBM 164, we sit down with Norense Odiase, former pro basketball player, corporate account executive, and viral storyteller — for a deeply candid conversation about navigating grief, identity, and the pursuit of peace beyond performance. Norris breaks down his path through the NBA G-League and Amazon, unpacks the hidden weight of sudden loss and childhood trauma, and explores the five core questions every man must answer to know who he truly is. He also opens up about the emptiness that comes with reaching the top of your career, the difference between empathy and compassion, and how an NYU cinematography course helped him turn raw, unscripted vulnerability into a movement.This is a must-watch for anyone who has achieved everything they thought they wanted only to still feel empty inside — and for anyone ready to step out of survival mode, redefine success, and find purpose beyond the noise.BOOK US FOR SPEAKING + BRAND DEALS:————————————Explore our diverse collaboration opportunities as the leading and fastest-growing Black men's mental health platform on social media.

What Dogs Teach Us About Love (And How to "People" Better) with Dr. Chris Blazina [caption id="attachment_17241" align="alignleft" width="300"] Good Dogs & Difficult People: What Dogs Teach Us About Love[/caption] Why is it that we can purely love our dogs but often struggle to show that same grace to other humans? In this deeply insightful episode of Pure Dog Talk, host Laura Reeves sits down with psychologist and author Dr. Chris Blazina to discuss his latest book, Good Dogs and Difficult People: What Dogs Teach Us About Love. They explore the psychology behind our canine connections, why Sigmund Freud was a massive "dog person," and how the stress we carry travels straight "down the leash" to our canine companions. From scientific phenomena like the Left Gaze Bias to actionable advice on how to "people better," this episode is a guide to letting your guard down, repairing relationships, and allowing dogs to "love us into being."

Talk to a HG Coach 1-on-1: https://bit.ly/46bIkdoDr. K's NEW Guide to Love, Sex, & Relationships is here! Order now: https://bit.ly/4dO3x0VDr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQIn this episode, Dr. K unpacks the highly requested, real-world science behind his "penile retraining regimen". Moving beyond common myths, he explains why testosterone is often a red herring for erectile issues, how the physical habits of masturbation "train" the body to struggle with real intimacy, and provides a breakdown of pelvic floor and mental exercises that can clinically treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation without relying on medication. What to expect in this episode: The Testosterone Red Herring: Why a drop in testosterone isn't the primary driver of erectile issues, with clinical data showing that only about 5% of erectile dysfunction cases are actually caused by low testosterone. The Role of Obesity: How endocrine-active fat cells (adipocytes) actively convert testosterone into other hormones, making physical health and cardiovascular conditioning far more critical than artificial hormone boosters. Death Grip Syndrome: How years of masturbating with a tight, dry hand grip trains the penis to expect 100 to 130 PSI of pressure, making it physically impossible to stay aroused by a partner's body, which naturally only produces 5 to 30 PSI. "Don't Skip Dick Day" Exercises: A breakdown of a clinical trial where targeted pelvic floor exercises completely cured ED in 40% of men and significantly improved it in another 35%—a therapeutic impact directly comparable to Viagra. Separating Orgasm from Ejaculation: A lesson in the physiological mechanics of tantric sex, explaining how strengthening pelvic muscles allows men to control the urethral pathway to experience prolonged pleasure and delay ejaculation. The Theory-Crafting Hack: Why performing complex math or theory-crafting optimal video game rotations (like calculating warlock DPS meters in Molten Core) in your head during intercourse is a highly effective, clinical technique to slow down premature ejaculation. Redefining Normal Timing: Why the average sexual encounter lasts only 3 to 7 minutes, and why the ultimate goal should be managing performance anxiety and letting go of the shame that kills erections, rather than chasing unrealistic, hour-long standards Learn more about your ad choices.

Most of us can name the pattern. The same dynamic with different partners. The same feeling with a mother, a boss, a spouse. What we can't see is why it keeps happening.In front of 110 participants in Costa Rica, Dr. Zach Bush sat down with Raj for a live Love Retrieval. Underneath four decades of stories was a single architecture. The moment he could see it, it dissolved.The body knew firstBefore the first question, a sharp pain arrived in Zach's right shoulder. Stabbing around the clavicle, radiating through his neck. He'd never had it before and hasn't had it since.Then the question came, and he fell into the space. His body knew where they were going before he did.The pain was the doorway.Following the threadRaj moved him back by decades. The first story came from his twenties with startling physical detail: the Colorado air, the wind through his hair, the drive to his girlfriend's house. He wasn't recalling it. He was inside it.He hadn't been able to tell that story in five years. It was compressed too tightly to reach, and it had been disrupting his biology.Then Raj took him to four years old. Two stories surfaced together. Zach realized he wasn't looking at separate memories, but at a complex geometry holding a superstructure of dis-ease in his body.One pattern under everythingThe same felt experience with his mother, through two marriages, into every employee interaction:Nobody sees any value in the love I have to offer.Four very different experiences. One architecture.The pearlWhat made him weep was how small it was.A tiny pearl emitting blue light, exquisite, and the only thing he had. He describes holding it out and saying: This is all I have, and you keep rejecting it.He had offered it to his son, partners, company, grandmother. Every time, the hand went up.The childhood conclusion was simple: What I have is precious to me and worthless to everyone else.Then Raj asked what big Zach would say to four-year-old Zach.The answer was immediate. He knelt beside the boy, put a hand on his back, and said:This is for you.Every story he carried resolved in that sentence.Why the rejection was intelligentThe people who wouldn't take his pearl were the teachers, showing him to keep it. Everyone already holds their own. Everyone has direct access to the source. Nobody needs yours.That's why he's careful with the word trauma. It wasn't a trauma. It was an experience his soul was having, and each one was trying to show him:Don't give it away.What became possibleThe next morning he called his partner and told her he wasn't going to give her his love anymore.Her body relaxed. The whole relationship changed.It wasn't a behavior he practiced or was coached into. It became available when the structure was visible.You can't change a story you're inside of. You can only change one you can see.Also in this conversation• Why fewer than ten compressed emotional memories can shape the dis-ease of an entire life • The crystalline field and the 110 witnesses • Forgiveness that doesn't excuse anyone or release them from responsibility • Why nature stores no human story, and what that means for what we're carrying • The bigger the rejection, the more precious the pearlEXPERIENCE THIS FOR YOURSELFGet started at https://liberate.love/begin?zachThe Love Map is a 45-minute guided conversation from home.

I share why so many married couples ruin desire by treating sex like a performance, then show how a playful mindset brings freedom back. We trade judgment for curiosity, build safety with boundaries, and start creating a sex life that fits us instead of chasing someone else's standard. • why pressure turns sex into scorekeeping and shuts down desire • how “play” changes the goal from performing to exploring together • why sexual chemistry is built and rebuilt across seasons of marriage • replacing judgmental questions with curiosity that invites honesty • taking turns leading connection and intimacy to create variety • why boundaries and an easy “no” make experimentation possible • talking about sex when nothing is expected to happen • the weekly mission question that sparks playful change • how the Hotter Together challenge turns insight into action • a preview of next week's topic on entitlement versus responsibility If you want some help making your connection more playful, go to: https://monicatanner.com/hotter and join the Hotter Together 14-day couples challenge. If this conversation encouraged you, would you do me a favor and share it with someone you love? Your spouse, a friend, or another couple who could use a little hope today. Send us Fan Mail

Welcome to the eighth and final episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today, I sit down with Coach Rae to talk about something we don't see many functional health companies address: relationship with food. We dig into why diet culture and social media have made it so hard for women to feel at peace with food, from the Britney Spears waist era to today's constant stream of body trends. Coach Rae shares the signs she looks for when a client's relationship with food might need extra attention, from fear of carbs to being afraid to keep certain foods in the house. We talk about why functional health can't just be labs, meal plans, and supplements, and why the mindset work around food fear matters just as much as the physical protocols. Rae walks us through how she approaches clients with real GI symptoms who are afraid to eat, including how elimination diets can help separate true food sensitivities from fear driven reactions. She also opens up about her own twenty plus year journey with food and control, and why curiosity with yourself is often the starting point for change. We then talk through the personality patterns she sees most often, the anxious perfectionists who feel safest when they're in control of their food, and why that sense of control can actually make your nervous system more fragile over time. Rae reminds listeners that struggling with food isn't about a lack of discipline, and that healing is possible no matter how long you've felt stuck. This is a real, honest conversation about what it actually looks like to build freedom and peace with food.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 367 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm exploring what happens when life takes us somewhere different from where we thought we were going—and why different doesn't automatically mean worse.Using Emily Perl Kingsley's Welcome to Holland metaphor as a starting point, I talk about the experience of grieving the life we expected while learning to notice what is possible in the life we actually have. Whether the transition involves a child leaving home, retirement, a relationship ending, a career change, a move, or another unexpected shift, we often see what we're losing long before we can see what we might gain.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why we so quickly equate change with lossHow uncertainty can make familiar—even unhealthy—patterns feel saferWhy unfamiliar doesn't mean dangerous, and familiar doesn't necessarily mean safeHow routines can help us learn to live in a new chapterWhy you can grieve what you left behind while still becoming curious about what comes nextYou can choose a new chapter and still grieve the old one. Grief isn't evidence that you made the wrong decision, and discomfort isn't necessarily evidence that something has gone wrong. Sometimes it's simply what it feels like to be somewhere you haven't learned how to live yet.This episode is an invitation to resist deciding too quickly that your new reality is worse than the one you imagined. You can plan to go to Italy, land in Holland instead, miss Italy, but still notice the tulips in Holland, and love them too.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

What if divorce wasn't really about her? That's the question Karen McMahon poses to open this episode of Journey Beyond Divorce, and the question at the center of her conversation with Geoff Laughton, a Relationship and Men's Work Coach with 33 years of experience, 300+ workshops, and thousands of clients. Geoff calls the pattern the "Masculine Dilemma," a set of unconscious traps that quietly erode men's marriages long before divorce ever becomes a possibility. He's also 44 years into his own marriage, so he's not just teaching this work, he's living it. Karen and Geoff dig into what actually drives men toward disconnection: confusion about what masculinity even means today, growing up without strong masculine models, and the gap between who a man was trained to be and who he actually is underneath the training. Geoff unpacks the real differences between masculine and feminine energy, not as stereotypes, but as wiring, and explains why so many marriages die from a thousand tiny paper cuts rather than one big blowup. One of the most useful moments in the episode is Geoff's breakdown of "MSU" (making shit up) and "MUS" (made-up shit), the stories partners tell themselves about what the other person is thinking, without ever actually asking. Karen and Geoff both push back hard on the idea that a partner should "just know" what you need, calling it a setup for failure in any relationship. The conversation also tackles the "Sir Lancelot syndrome," the nice-guy pattern of trying to rescue and fix a partner's every feeling, at the cost of a man's own needs and boundaries, and why that pattern so often ends in resentment rather than intimacy. In the back half of the episode, Geoff walks through what he calls a relationship postmortem: a brutally honest look at what worked, when things started to break down (often, he notes, right around the arrival of the first child), where a man went out of integrity with himself, and what he's committed to doing differently before jumping into the next relationship. Karen and Geoff agree this kind of self-honest inventory, done without self-blame or shame, is essential before dating again.

This week on Dial Emma, I'm delving into a relationship question people often feel ashamed to even ask out loud - because surely loneliness is something we feel when we're single, not when we're sharing a bed with someone who loves us? And yet, some of the loneliest people I've ever met are in long-term relationships.Our listener writes: "I've been married for nine years, and my husband is a genuinely good man. We don't fight very often and we parent well together, but somewhere along the way, I started feeling invisible. We spend every evening in the same room, usually both looking at our phones or watching television, and weeks go by without us really talking. It's not that we're unhappy, it's that I feel deeply alone. How can I feel lonely when I'm lying next to the person I love?"In this episode, I explore why loneliness isn't the absence of people, but the absence of feeling known. Relationships don't protect us from loneliness - connection does, and connection needs tending.I also introduce my Four C's model, built on the transactional analysis framework of parent–adult–child ego states, to map where connection can live, and where it can quietly go missing, in a relationship.Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Book my 2027 women's retreat at Bliss House in Crete: https://bliss-house-experience.replit.appSocial media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

Louise Phillips Forbes started her real estate career making just $8,400 in her first year. More than three decades later, she has closed over $6 billion in real estate, and she credits much of that success to a philosophy that has very little to do with chasing transactions.   James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Louise, founder of the Louise Phillips Forbes Team at Brown Harris Stevens, to discuss why relationships, generosity, service, and authenticity have remained at the center of her business. Louise shares how she built her sphere organically, why other agents should be viewed as colleagues instead of competitors, and why treating every relationship like an opportunity for a commission can actually work against you.   They also explore how New York real estate has changed throughout Louise's 35-year career, the growing battle over private listings, balancing service with being a strong negotiator, and why even a $6 billion producer is still willing to rethink how she runs her business.   Connect with Louise on LinkedIn - Instagram (team) - Instagram (self) - Facebook and online at louisephillipsforbes.com.

Why do some people keep choosing toxic, narcissistic, or emotionally unavailable partners? In this video, Lee Hammock explains how childhood patterns, trauma bonds, familiar dysfunction, love bombing, low self trust, and the hope of finally being chosen can shape relationship choices. You may not be attracted to pain itself, but you might be drawn to a dynamic that feels familiar or that promises validation. Learn how to recognize these patterns, rebuild your standards, and choose relationships that feel safe instead of chaotic. Healing is not about blaming yourself for the past; it is about giving yourself better options moving forward.All My Links (Coaching, Courses, Merch): https://link.me/mentalhealness

Welcome to Bamgboshe Happy Hour, hosted by Peju Bamgboshe Rothlisberger and Naomi Bamgboshe — where family, pop culture, relationships, reality TV, and a little bit of mess come together for one unforgettable happy hour!

In this episode of Think in English With Me, you're going to hear the difference between “learner English” and natural, native-speaker English—without any long explanations at the beginning. We start with three real-life relationship conversations (catching up with a friend, dealing with a manager at work, and drifting from a sibling) shown two ways: the simple learner version and the fuller native-speaker version—so you can clearly recognize the gap.Then we pull out the exact words and phrases that make native speech sound effortless:holding back (when you deliberately don't say something yet)stretched thin (too busy, pulled in too many directions)drifted apart (growing distant gradually, without a specific fight)Next, you'll learn the sentence patterns native speakers rely on—how they answer with details, build opinions with reasons, and tell a personal experience that pulls the listener into the moment. You'll also hear what it sounds like when you combine the right vocabulary and the right structure, so you can start speaking in a way that feels more natural and confident.Finally, it's your turn: you'll get new conversation questions (about family, friendship, and making friends as an adult) along with sample native-style answers to help you practice thinking in English—not translating.If you've ever felt like you “know English” but don't sound the way you want to sound, this episode is for you.If you want to sign up for the free English email newsletter, go to https://speakenglishwithtiffani.com/newsletter

BETTER WAYS TO DATE Hebrews 13:4 Marriage should be honored by ALL, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. (NIV) 1. HONORING MARRIAGE MEANS, DON’T TREAT SOMETHING HOLY LIKE SOMETHING CASUAL Matthew 19:4–6 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’  5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” (NIV) 2. HONORING MARRIAGE MEANS YOU FOLLOW CHRIST’S STANDARD, NOT CULTURE'S SCRIPT 3. HONORING MARRIAGE MEANS YOU DON'T ACT MARRIED BEFORE YOU ARE MARRIED Matthew 19:4–6 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” (NIV) 3A. LEAVING HAPPENS AFTER MARRIAGE 3B. CLEAVING HAPPENS AFTER MARRIAGE Matthew 19:5 And said, ‘For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (KJV) 3C. BECOMING ONE FLESH HAPPENS AFTER MARRIAGE PHYSICAL ONENESS AFTER MARRIAGE Hebrews 13:4 Marriage should be honored by all, and THE MARRIAGE BED KEPT PURE, for God will JUDGE the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. (NIV) 4. HONORING MARRIAGE MEANS YOU DATE FOR DESTINY, NOT JUST DESIRES Matthew 7:16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? (NIV) 5. HONORING MARRIAGE MEANS YOU DATE TO PROTECT, NOT TO PRESSURE 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not DISHONOR others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always PROTECTS, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (NIV) PROTECTION DOESN’T PUSH WHERE GOD HAS NOT PERMITTED! 6. HONORING MARRIAGE MEANS YOU PREPARE FOR COVENANT BEFORE YOU PURSUE COMPANIONSHIP MARRIAGE SHOULD BE HONORED BY ALL
