This episode is a bit of a recap of the Marriage Renewal Retreat Dr. Wally held in Logan, Utah-- February 2022. Use the discoveries of research and the eternal truths of the gospel along with practical experience to make your marriage stronger and happier. Dr. Wally teaches us some main principles taught over the 2 day retreat.

Christians and latter-day saints, tend to look to the Lord for ultimate authority and guidance on key issues in family life and relationships. We often see the discoveries and research in this area as very different arenas and unrelated, but Dr. Wally feels otherwise. In Goddard's new book, Discoveries: Essential Truths for Relationships, we see that the science of family life and what we learn from the gospel of Jesus Christ are richly connected and very harmonious, much like a great duet. The research from brilliant people thinking and studying data on what works and what doesn't work in relationships, helps us to ask better questions. In this book, he brings together what we learn from the gospel of Jesus Christ along with what research has found to be true of family life and relationships.

The Lord Offers Something Better Than Self Esteem by H. Wallace GoddardMeanings Of Life   by Roy F. BaumeisterThe "Self Esteem" Movement Is Over, Here's What's Taking It's Place  by Melissa Dahl

We all in the course of a lifetime will face a variety of crises. What research in the field of Psychology has taught us that should be encouraging is the power of post-traumatic growth. Our challenges can actually lead to far greater wisdom, adaptation and greater good sense in conducting our lives. This conversation centers on a few principles taught in the bookThe Power of Bad: How the Negativity Effect Rules Us and How We Can Rule Itby John Tierney and Roy F. Baumeister.
