Hey everyone, welcome back! Last week we hinted at vulnerability, but we didn't stay very long there. Why? Because we (and by we, I mostly mean I ((Chris))), aren't super comfortable with it. However, if this podcast is going to help anyone, we have to press forward and get a little uncomfortable. So we are hitting it head on today. Have mercy on our souls. Join us!

Hey there everyone! Welcome back to the Prime Marriage Podcast! Today we are talking about the idea of "toxic masculinity". Does it exist? What does it look like? Is masculinity itself the issue, or do we just not understand what it means? We're here to tackle it all. Join us!

Welcome back to Prime Marriage Podcast! Today we are tackling a pretty sensitive topic. We are discussing menopause. This is a subject that simply isn't talked about enough. There are storms and battles that go on in a woman's body, mind, and heart during menopause that can cause some serious strain on life in general, but also your marriage. Let's talk about it!

Welcome back to the Prime Marriage Podcast! We're discussing your life priorities today. Where does your spouse fit in? What about your kids? Are they in the right place? I realize not everyone has the same set of priorities, but should you? We talk it over today. Join us!

Welcome back everyone! Today we are not discussing anything we have a handle on. On the contrary, we struggle with this! Do you ever get overwhelmed and refuse to take action because you aren't sure of the outcome? Girl, same. We both tend to struggle with it, but we're taking steps to overcome. Join us!

Hey hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Prime Marriage Podcast. Today we take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun. What movie do you think best represents your spouse? What about what dessert? We have some laughs as we categorize each other in a myriad of different scenarios. Join us! *by the way, chess is not an Olympic sport and the skiing whilst playing with rifles is called the biathlon. Who knew? Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook...

Welcome back everyone! Today we are talking about your marriage being a good model for your kids. More specifically, would you want your kids to marry someone like you? I know, I know, that is a loaded question, but statistics say that many kids seek a spouse that reminds them of their mom/dad. A scary proposition for many of us. All the more reason to lead by example! Join us! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095412946774 Contact us: prim...

Welcome back! Today we are selling marriage. And if you call in the next 10 minutes we'll throw in some existential fear! Fears change a lot as you get older. It's no longer a fear of monsters under the bed or fear of snakes. Our fears grow up to become much harder to verbalize and way harder to navigate. Today we talk about some of our fears and how to let your spouse in to help. Join us! Podcast we mentioned in this episode: Navigating the Heartbreak of Wayward Children: Stuart Scott - Family...

Hey there, welcome back to Prime Marriage Podcast! Today we are talking about lightening the load for your spouse. We all go through seasons that are tougher than others and we all get overwhelmed from time to time. When your spouse is feeling weighed down, how do you help them? What can you do to ease their stress? Let's talk about it! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095412946774 Contact us: primemarriagepod@gmail.com

Hey hey everyone, welcome back to another Prime Marriage Podcast episode! Today our subject is: Why Marriage? We all know the divorce rate is astronomical. Why even bother with getting married. It's just a piece of paper, right? Well, we have some pretty strong opinions on this one. Join us and let's discuss it!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Prime Marriage Podcast. In today's episode we are talking about processing. In that, I mean what is your method of processing information before taking action? Are you an internal processor or do you like to bounce things off someone else as you're thinking it through. Usually, an internal processor and an external processor end up together. This can cause some confusion and even marital problems if you don't understand the difference. Join us for the discussion...

Happy Valentine's Day (for those who celebrate) and welcome back for a new episode of Prime Marriage Podcast. Today, we are comparing some lists we made of "what is romantic" and "what isn't". We didn't exactly go about it in the same way, but it all shook out in the end. Join us!

Hey everyone! Apologies on not having a brand new episode today, but we had a very difficult weekend with the passing of one of our fur babies. It was unexpected and sudden and happened on the only day we had to record, so we just weren't in the right head space. We did record a small intro, but this is a re-broadcast of pt. 3 of our Marriage Culture Points series. I hope you all enjoy!

We are talking about some heavy things today. Spousal abuse is far more common than people want to admit. While some of it is definitely physical, I think the bulk of it is emotional and psychological. Today we discuss some basic definitions, we talk about some personal experiences, and we give some perspective shifts to think about. Has society done enough? Has it done too much? Let's talk about it. Also posted below is a website with hotlines for abusive relationships. https://www.thehotline....

Does your spouse ever annoy you? You don't have to answer that, of course they do. Now I'm not talking about pet peeves, or habits that need to go away. I'm talking about topics that get brought up too often for your taste, or maybe them pressing you to make changes. That's what we're talking about today. Those annoyances that act as sandpaper in helping to smooth out your marriage as a whole. Join us! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=10009541...

Welcome back! Today we are talking about learning to dream, plan, and set goals again as a couple after being in survival mode. We speak from experience on this one. Last year, we kept our heads down and lived life one day at a time, but a good marriage can't do that forever. We need to dream. We need to plan the future. Sometimes we have to take some scary steps to get back on the path to growth. Join us as we talk about it! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com...

We are NOT talking about resolutions or even specific goals today. Shocking, I know. Everyone seems to want to talk about those, but we are taking a different approach this year. We are looking back at 2025. We had a lot of big things go on with us this last year, so we review the year and talk about the growth, the heartache, and the blessings. We also look at how 2025 is preparing us to launch into 2026. Join us! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.ph...

Merry Christmas to all of our listeners! We're so happy you chose to listen to us this week. We are staying in the season by talking about practical gift giving. Some see it as boring, impersonal, or even lazy, but the receiver is rarely disappointed. We need to re-train our minds about practical gifts! Join us as we discuss it!

Welcome back to Prime Marriage Podcast! If we were to ask you work bestie about your spouse, what would they say? What about your friend from college? Your parents? Not everyone would want to answer those questions. How you talk about your spouse to other people can be life giving or can be devastating. It can even be an indicator of the health of your marriage.

Happy Podcast Day! Today we are back in the "studio" for a new episode. We are talking non-verbal communication. Whether it be a sigh, an eyeroll, tone, body language, we hit it all. Learning your spouse's non-verbal cues can not only be a great way to connect, but it can help resolve conflict. Beware though: a well-placed eyeroll or sigh can be demoralizing as well.

On today's episode, we have a couple of special guests. We are talking with our oldest Tyler and his beautiful wife Courtney. While they have only been married for 3 years, they have been through a couple of decades worth of seasons in their marriage. Join us to hear their story and what gives them the hope to keep on going. (We are not recording in our "studio" ((aka our bedroom)) so we know there are some audio challenges in this week's episode, but we are sure you will be blessed to hear this...

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope all of our listeners have a blessed holiday and are able to spend some quality time with family and friends. We keep it light this week and do some rapid-fire questions about some things we are thankful for and some things that drive us crazy. Also, what would Tom Cruise bring to the Thanksgiving meal?

Welcome back to Prime Marriage Podcast! Today we're wrapping up our series on biblical marriage perspectives (for now at least). Today we hit I Corinthians 13. The Love chapter. If you thought the last two subjects were tough to live out, this one says, "hold my Coke Zero." Love is easy at times, and incredibly difficult at other times. We go through this chapter and talk about the challenges. Join us! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=10009541...

Welcome back! On today's episode we are discussing passivity. This one cuts a little close to the bone for one of us. Most of my (Chris) life, I have told myself I am just laid back. I'm chill. That's a nice way to remove any negativity from being passive or sometimes downright lazy. However, this isn't a "pick on Chris" episode as we're both guilty of being passive in a lot of area. We talk a little about us, but mostly we just want to highlight some areas that passivity can really hurt your ma...
