Stop Trying To Fix Your Marriage - Focus On YOU Dec 08, 2021

The worst thing about losing your marriage is also losing yourself. Sometimes we've been married for so long that we lose a sense of identity and don't know who we are without our spouse. Today we interview Amanda, a member of our Marriage Helper Community that went through a six-year-long battle with her husband.

They were on the edge of divorce, they stopped communicating with each other, and over time things just went from bad to worse. Amanda tells us how she stopped focusing on her marriage and instead concentrated on herself. Through her self-reflective efforts to prioritize her happiness and figure herself out, she became a better person not only for her but for her husband, her children, and her future relationships with friends and family.

In the fight for your marriage, you are never alone. There are people just like you who want to stand for their marriage and fight for the one they love.

Making This Marriage Different: How To Avoid Another Divorce Nov 24, 2021

How can you make your marriage better and stronger?
Research shows that 33% of married couples want to seek help for their relationship. However, Gottman's research shows that couples wait an average of six years after problems begin to occur in their marriage before they get help. One of the biggest reasons people want out of a relationship is that they feel disrespected. The way you communicate with your spouse, the tone, the facial expressions, and the volume demonstrates the respect you have.
Dr. Beam says if you're going to work on anything, work on communication in a way that the other person will most likely hear; that you do communicate respectfully, that you do love them, that you don't like them, and then it'll go a whole lot better if you can do that.

When to Divorce - Is it Time to Move On? Nov 17, 2021

Show notes

Enjoy the episode? Send us a text!

It's a fact. Not every marriage is going to make it. However, we wish every marriage would because we are very pro-marriage.
In this episode, Dr. Joe Beam and Kimberly Beam Holmes provide points about when it may be the right time to divorce and when it's not the right time. Divorce isn't a decision to take lightly. On the contrary, it's a weighty decision that you don't want to make when other people are persuading you, who are saying things to you like:
"You'd be better off alone."
" Why don't you just go on and divorce."
"It sounds like this can't ever work."
"I think you just need to go ahead and file the papers."
Those are people who are probably very well-meaning but should not and do not get to make that decision for you. It is your life. It is your decision, and you should be the one who makes it because you are the one who has to deal with the outcome. It is your decision. This episode will give you great insight and get you to think about some things before making a decision too rashly that you may end up regretting later.

Overcoming an Emotional Affair Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

Enjoy the episode? Send us a text!

How can you overcome the emotions of an affair?
You can't change emotions just by sheer willpower. Understand that time changes emotions. So the intensity of what you're feeling toward other people will evolve with time. So whatever you or your spouse are feeling towards somebody else right now will not be the same thing you feel three years from now. The actions you take and the behaviors you put into your life working with time will change how quickly your emotions evolve. So we hope that you take from this not that we're trying to discourage you but that we're trying to give you hope. The hope is not in control; the hope is in understanding human nature and that people continue to change.

Stages of Emotional Affairs Oct 27, 2021

Show notes

Enjoy the episode? Send us a text!

Let's talk about emotional affairs. Where do they come from? How do they happen? What stages does a person go through when they're having an emotional affair?
Typically, an emotional affair will begin with somebody who's not looking for one.
Understand that an emotional affair has to involve a deeper, emotional connection with another person. The only way we can develop a deep, emotional connection with another person that's reciprocal, between two people communicating with each other, but not just about mundane, ordinary things. Typically, an emotional affair will begin with somebody who's not looking for one. Any positive interaction you have with another person can be the beginning of an emotional affair because the first thing that happens after that vulnerability is that you start having interactions with each other to the point that they gradually begin to cross boundaries.
There are multiple stages to an emotional affair, so let's talk about them in today's episode.
