Jenna has lost weight many times. When she was younger she liked to workout and went to exercise classes. If she wanted to lose weight she could just give up carbs and sugar and the pounds would melt away.

My husband Sean joins me in this podcast to talk about our journey to get to a great marriage where we can honestly say we’re best friends. . How did Sean and I get from tolerating each other- to here?  If you’re ready to do the work to have a great marriage, here’s where to start. 

The four predictors of divorce: criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling and contempt. Let's review what they are and how they hurt us, and then determine how to change.  I know we all want a happy marriage, so let's figure this out! Even if you're doing well, this podcast will help you know what to look for and what you can do to make your marriage even better! Based on research by Dr John Gottman.

There are common pitfalls in marriage that trip us up.  Some of them are complicated, but some of them are just plain dumb.  The words we use to make our point can destroy relationships.  Too often, one person will make a statement that derails the whole point of the conversation and next thing we know there’s an argument about whether some particular wrongdoing happened on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. We’ve missed the point, and now we’re arguing about semantics. How about you never use these statements again ever? Well, try. My husband is always angry. My wife never spends time with me. He literally ignores me. She hates me. I’ve just given up. The great news is, with just a few tweaks to your verbiage you can make a huge difference in your marriage. Start noticing the words you speak today!

You haven’t ruined your kids! There’s lots of ways to help them learn to tell the truth. Keep trying to reach their heart!
