Growth MarriageHow To Become Your Partner's Drug DealerI want to tell you about this thing my wife does that gets me completely addicted to loving her. It gets me to turn off my phone and help around the house, be more empathetic and emotionally supportive, kiss her passionately every day, and buy her flowers, pick up her favorite drink from the store, and write her love notes. Sounds pretty magical, right? Maybe even a little hard to believe? That’s what today’s podcast is all about. (You can listen to it here.)

Growth MarriageThe Life-changing Hack That Will Strengthen Your MarriagePearson’s Law states: “When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported back, the rate of improvement accelerates.” We see people tracking, measuring, and improving their performance in business. We see it happening in sports. We even see it in government… although whether or not improvement accelerates is debatable. But why don’t we see it in marriage? Probably because it’s hard to measure marriage.2020-02-0412 min

Growth Marriage3 Reasons Why Marriage Therapy Doesn't Work1. You don’t know how to find a good therapist When you’re struggling in life with your mental health, with past trauma, or in your relationships, it’s normal to hear the advice, “You should go talk to someone.” The implication is that a therapist - any therapist can help. But searching for a good therapist is a lot like searching for a good doctor. You want to find someone who knows what they’re talking about. You wouldn’t go see a foot doctor if you had a sore throat. You’d be much better off seeing an ear, nose and th...2020-01-2115 minGrowth MarriageYour Kid’s Pee Can Predict The Quality of Your MarriageHave you ever heard 3,000 people gasp at the same time?

The idea is that having a growth “mindset” is not enough to create change in your life. Most people can dig deep and make positive short-term changes to their lives — like sticking to a new health routine, writing a few chapters of that book you’ve had in your head, or strengthening that weak spot in your marriage. But if they’re not living in an environment that encourages those changes to stick, they fall off the bandwagon, old habits take over, and they find th...2019-12-1729 minGrowth MarriageGrowth Ecosystem Pt 2: How To Access Unlimited Motivation and EncouragementToday’s podcast episode and accompanying blog post will make a lot more sense if you listen to to the past 2 episodes of the Growth Marriage Podcast first!
