• 380. The 7 Stages Of Marriage... And How To Find Passion During Each Of Them

  When Amy and I got married, we were head-over-heels in love with each other… but also totally clueless and unprepared for what marriage would actually throw at us. No one gave us a roadmap, and we we made a ton of mistakes early on!  Over the years, we’ve grown, stretched, stumbled… and learned that marriage isn’t just one long phase, it’s a journey with different stages in life that shift, surprise, and sometimes shake you. But understanding those stages can help you better navigate and stay connected. Honestly, we didn’t even know marriage had stages until we hit year 18 and thought, “Wait… is this normal?”If you’ve ever asked yourself that same question, especially if you’ve been married 10, 15, 20 years or more, then this episode is for you.We’re breaking down the stages of marriage, what to expect in each one, and how to keep your intimacy and connection alive through all of them.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

• 378. How To Avoid The "Death By Comparison" Trap In Marriage

  We live in a world that constantly invites us to compare. From curated highlight reels on social media to romanticized portrayals in movies, it’s easy to look at someone else’s relationship and start questioning your own. We often think "why don't I have a house like that" or "why is my spouse not like that". But comparison, especially in marriage, can be one of the most destructive habits we unknowingly fall into.We polled our audience and asked the question "Do you find yourself comparing your marriage to others?" 65% said YES while only 35% said NO.This is an area we have made changes in our own life and seen the benefits and happiness from not trying to compare to others. Join us for this great episode where we share our own experiences, discuss why the comparison trap is so deadly for your marriage, and the things you can do to eliminate if from your life.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.
