Loving Your Spouse Through PTSD with Nate & Noemi Parsons Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Nate and Noemi Parsons share how PTSD affected their marriage and what it looked like to walk through a season neither of them could fix on their own. Their conversation explores the power of asking for help, bearing one another’s burdens, and learning how to show up for your spouse when they’re hurting.

Listener Question: I vent to my husband about my day and he immediately tries to fix it, which honestly makes me more frustrated, not less. How do you tell the difference between a partner who needs to vent and one who needs a solution?

The Parts of Marriage You Can't Prepare For with Jason & Elizabeth Settle of SettledCo. Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

After 26 years of marriage, Jason and Elizabeth Settle are facing something they never imaged when they first promised "in sickness and in health."
The Southlake-based faith counselors have spent years walking alongside couples through difficult seasons, but Jason's sudden cancer diagnosis has brought those words much closer to home.
They share how this season is reshaping their understanding of vulnerability, surrender, and what it looks like to trust God when you don't know the outcome.
Listener Question: We avoided talking about our combined debt for the first two years of marriage because it felt too shameful.
What's a money conversation you dreaded having but were glad you finally did?

What It Takes to Truly Know Your Spouse with Jason & Rosalind Hamilton Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Jason and Rosalind look back on more than 30 years of marriage, from getting married with little preparation to facing conversations that challenges how well they really knew one another. In this episode with Dave and Ashley, they open up about the hidden struggles, conflict, communication, and the changes in intimacy that come with different seasons of marriage.

Listener Question: My spouse and I are in our early 50’s, been married a good long while. My spouse and I haven’t had sex in years:
no touching, no kissing in years. It makes me feel so lonely and not wanted. All other areas of marriage are pretty good.
I’ve considered having an affair to have my needs met, but I haven’t gone through with it because I know it’s wrong.
I love my spouse but it has ruined my self esteem and I think I resent them.
What can I do to help this or open up safe conversations to find a solution?

Hot Topics (Part 2): Fur Babies, Vasectomies, Eye Rolling & More Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Dave and Ashley are back with the second half of their rapid-fire Hot Topics round, tackling more of your biggest questions and the culture's most talked-about marriage debates. They cover why smart, capable people suddenly act helpless about finding a babysitter, why couples should choose to have kids (and why fur babies don't count), why forcing your spouse into a sexless marriage is a form of infidelity, why rolling your eyes at your spouse is one of the most accurate predictors of divorce, why empty nesters are divorcing at higher rates, why our culture spends so much time and money on grooming, and whether permanent birth control like vasectomies is biblical. This one's honest, a little spicy, and packed with wisdom.

The #1 Divorce Predictor Most Couples Miss | Marriage Minute Sep 04, 2026

Show notes

According to Dr. John Gottman's research, rolling your eyes at your spouse is one of the most accurate predictors of divorce because it reveals deep-seated contempt – the #1 predictor of divorce.
