Episode 29: Married To Shame Jul 27, 2025

Show notes

This is episode number 29 and in today’s session, I will be discussing a topic that took me a while to develop due to how complex it is. Actually, it has been a revolving theme of many of my sessions for the last few months. Usually, when there is a constant theme that comes up, I lean into it to see what else is there. In doing so, I discovered Tim Fletcher’s teachings on shame and was amazed with his presentation on these ideas. So, I’ll be referencing him throughout the course of my teachings here.

In today’s session, I will be discussing Shame. More specifically, what shame is, where it comes from and how shame impacts the way people show up inside of their marriages. This is a very important episode...

So strap in, take some notes and I will see you on the inside!

This is episode number 25 and in today’s session, I will be discussing a topic that many of you probably have heard me mention before but have probably not heard me speak in depth about. Today I will be discussing the differences between why men marry and why women marry.

That’s right, in this session, I will be breaking down what your husband was expecting to get from you when he married you or what your wife has longed to receive from you when she accepted your hand in marriage.

Please do not gloss over this episode for this information is at the fundamental core of many of the martial dysfunctions that I see during my work with couples. As a result, this is also one of the most vital pieces of information that I share with my pre-marriage couples as they embark on preparing themselves to be married.

This is episode number 24 and in today’s session, I will be discussing a topic that many of you probably haven’t heard about before. I am going to be discussing the importance of turning towards your spouse. If you have my book (The 37 Laws To Mastering Marriage), this information can be found in chapter 36 where I cover the Law of the Right Turn. This research is gleaned from Dr. Gottman’s bestselling book, The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work.
Remember, healthy marriages are made up of individuals who take the time to learn how to be more efficient as a husband and wife. These individuals study, learn and grow over time…consistently.

This topic will help you to be less ignorant in a very important but often overlooked area of the marriage.

This is episode number 21 and in today’s session, I am going to be discussing a topic related to effective conflict resolution skills that I have found most marriages often struggle with. In this episode, I discuss what it means to "Chase 2 Rabbits" during a conflict.
This bad habit has tremendous implications on the communication habits that both you and your spouse share. It is extremely hard to change because both parties are usually so entrenched into doing this that they are not even aware that they are chasing two rabbits.
