You're changing. You're putting in the work. But your spouse doesn't see it, doesn't trust it, or doesn't believe it's real.

In this episode, we break down the four most common reasons your efforts aren't connecting—and what to do about it. You might be changing the wrong things, not changing enough, communicating your progress the wrong way, or falling apart under pressure. Any one of these can sabotage everything you're working toward.

If you're the only one fighting for your marriage right now, this is how you start making your changes believable.

You can't make your spouse work on the marriage. And the harder you try to control the outcome, the more you push them away.

But you're not powerless. You have something more effective than control: influence.

In this episode, we break down why trying to control your spouse backfires, what it actually takes to heal a marriage when only one person is trying, and four strategies to inspire real change—without ultimatums, pressure, or manipulation.

Everyone's calling their ex a narcissist these days. But what does that actually mean—and what should you do if you think your spouse might be one?

In this episode, we break down the truth about narcissism in marriage, expose the misconceptions, and share what actually works. After 18 years helping couples heal their marriages, we'll show you why the popular advice about narcissistic spouses might be dead wrong.

You made time for intimacy. You're in the mood. She's not. And you don't understand why.

Here's the problem: most men have spontaneous desire. Most women have responsive desire. That means she needs something to happen first before she's feeling it—and "it's 6pm on Tuesday, let's go" isn't going to cut it.

In this episode, we break down what responsive desire actually means, why variety doesn't have to mean the bedroom, and how to create the conditions where she actually wants to be intimate.

You're not stuck because you don't know how to make the right decision. You're stuck because you're afraid of making the wrong one.

In this episode, we walk through the exact process we use to make big decisions—using our own real-time example of figuring out where to move next. You'll learn why most people get paralyzed, why "priorities" is a misuse of the word, and how to stop waiting for clarity and start creating it.

You remember the anniversary. You plan the date night. You show up for the holidays.

But what about the rest of the week?

The small moments—the kiss before work, the three-minute conversation after dinner, the hand on their back as you walk by—those are the things that actually make you feel connected day to day. And most of us are walking right past them.

In this episode, we talk about how to know when you're missing moments, why resentment is often a sign you're not creating them, and how to start noticing the opportunities that are already there.

Unconditional love sounds like the goal. Love no matter what. Love without expectations. Love that never wavers.

It's also a participation trophy that lets you stop trying.

In this episode, we break down why unconditional love isn't real, isn't helpful, and isn't what you should be aiming for. We talk about what happens when you expect love without conditions—and what to do instead if you want a marriage that actually feels loving.

How do you rebuild trust after infidelity? Can you win back a spouse who's divorced and with someone else? Is taking space helping your marriage or killing it?
