In today’s session, I will be shifting my approach slightly to asking you 10 very important questions that every spouse needs to answer.

You may have to pause this episode periodically so that you can write down each of these questions. Then I want you to answer them. I would even recommend that both you and your spouse answer these questions individually and then schedule a time to actually discuss with each other your responses to these questions.

This is episode number 13 and in today’s session, I am going to be discussing the number 1 marriage killer. This subject is so important that if it is not taken into consideration, it will destroy your marriage.

If it does offend you, that just means you may not be ready to receive it…revisit it what you are ready.

75 - Episode 9: How Your Attachment Style Impacts Your Marriage
Today’s topic is over another very interesting topic that is often not associated with marriage…attachment theory and how your attachment style impacts how you show up inside of your marriage. One word of caution though, both you and your spouse will most likely show up as having one of these attachment styles. Try to be honest about yourself and resist the temptation to see yourself as perfect. We all want to be spotless and without blemish but the truth is that none of us is. We come packaged with the wounds of our past. Keep that in mind as you are attempting to evaluate your spouse and yourself.

24 - 24: She tells me that she no longer wants to be married, what do I do?
Welcome to episode 24 of the Mastering Marriage Podcast. Today's question comes from a husband who is struggling with his wife threatening to leave the marriage. He asks, "I've started following your page yesterday and been looking through all your post and I must say that these post give me hope. I read one of your post where you talked about speaking good things to your spouse no matter how bad and low the marriage is but how can someone continue to speak good things if your spouse is constantly reminding you how "they don't want to be with you, I'm ready for a divorce, I can't wait until paper work is filed, I no longer want to be married to you etc"? Every day I try to speak life into our marriage but it seems that once I do the negativity follows behind. I'm trying to work hard for my marriage; paperwork in filing has not been done on no one's end. I don’t want the divorce, when I said "I do" that was that but she on the other hand does.
