Today we get to chat with one of America’s best-known marriage experts. His books have sold millions of copies around the world, but for me, he will always be known as the “wrong Gary”. I can’t count the amount of times I watched my own father, Dr. Gary Smalley, sign a book actually written by[...] The post Dr. Gary Chapman is on the show!

The man we have on the show today is potentially the most prolific writer I’ve ever known! In fact, I’m a little irritated to even be doing this interview because he makes me look like a lazy, uninspired writer...which is not cool. But Dr. Les Parrott can’t be denied because he has a powerful new online assessment for couples that will literally “blow your socks off”, and I am quoting him on that.

She wrote, “How do you get past a spouse who does not listen to what you say verbally but rather goes by what he thinks he thinks you mean. Like an underlying meaning behind the words.” The post What to do when your spouse negative beliefs you to death appeared first on Smalley Institute.

So because we are guys, we felt like we could give some helpful hints to the ladies about what it takes to be attractive to your man. Full disclosure…these[...] The post Ten mistakes you make trying to attract your man appeared first on Smalley Institute.
There’s a rising risk to dating in this day and age…and it’s name is Ghosted. Never heard of someone being ghosted before? Don’t feel too bad, because neither had I!

One of our listeners asked recently: “if I have a concern I need to share with her – but she refuses to hear it, or receive it – what do I do? How do I “make” her realize what I want her to improve upon in our marriage. These things aren’t once in a blue[...] The post How you can force your spouse to be better appeared first on Smalley Institute.
July 4th is one of my favorite holidays. And it’s not just that I get to light things on fire and throw a huge party for all my friends. I love July 4th because of what it reminds me of.
