In my experience, most people truly desire happiness for their spouse and find that even more fulfilling than getting everything they want. So why do we feel such an intense need to have things our way? Bonnie and Clyde provide us with a key insight to help answer that question.

Shame and blame are inseperable. But understanding this—and doing the work to eliminate personal feelings of shame—can transform a marriage.

A shared religious faith often helps couples more closely align their values and goals. How does a couple navigate a marriage where one partner no longer believes?

It can feel intense to make important decisions that impact our marriage or family. Clarity comes when we remember to keep our personal values front and center.

What determines equal contribution in a marriage relationship? And what are the results of trying to sort this out—for the marriage and individually?

The way our parents raised us informs the way we raise our own children. Couples often have strong, and markedly different, opinions on how it should be done. Today, I coach Christine and John on this issue.

Want to love your spouse more unconditionally but not sure how to get there? The answer may surprise you.

We often cause ourselves unnecessary stress and pain trying to mold our marriage to fit unspoken standards of what constitutes a “good” marriage. What if we instead create a marriage that fits the uniqueness of the people in it?

In sometimes large, but often small and subtle ways, we set ourselves up to fail when we shame ourselves in an attempt to become who we think we should be.

“Love languages” is a term I frequently hear from my clients. Today I speak with Ann and Tommy as they learn how to navigate their differing styles and use this information to best love themselves and each other.

Am I frugal or a spender? What value do I place on each description? Each of us has deep-seated ideas on how money should be made, saved or spent. Today I talk with Meghan and Jake about their different values regarding money.

This week I sit down with Elle and Jared Rowley to talk about how they have used the principle of taking care of their own needs to thrive within the demands of a marriage, four children and a successful business. To connect with Elle and Jared, find them on Instagram: @ellerowley, @jaredrowley.

What story do you tell yourself about your marriage? Learn how to rework that story and watch your marriage improve!

Resisting emotion is the quickest way to go from feeling bad to worse. Today I discuss when to change your thoughts and when to allow yourself time to feel bad.

We think we know each other so well, but just as often judge wrongly as we do right. But right or wrong, what you believe about your spouse’s character or intentions is what you’ll find.

We’re great at identifying the simplest solution to disagreement. But when the solution involves molding our spouse’s viewpoint, our easy answer becomes nearly impossible.

When things are rocky in our relationships, we can decide that changing ourself to meet our spouse’s expectations will fix things. Does it?

Jobs and kids and the general stresses of life can sometimes make us feel that we are in a business partnership instead of a marriage. Today I coach Marie and Spencer.

For many of us, small day-to-day life challenges over time can bring more stress to our marriage than major events. Today I coach Belle and Paul—newlyweds who are facing the realities of joining their lives together—and offer them tools that can lessen the stresses of daily life.
