Get Your Marriage On! with Dan Purcell

In my program, Next Level, I've come across several couples that are struggling in their marriage because one or both are  entrepreneurs. There's a lot of stress that happens in the marriage relationship, especially in the sexual relationship for entrepreneurs. And I want to do a podcast episode dedicated to all listeners where one, or both of you are in the middle of building a business.   As Ame...

Because it's 6/9 day, I want to share with you nine ideas to strengthen your sexual relationship! The nine things that are on my mind that I want to share with you today are the following: Ditch the goals during sex. Enjoy arousal for arousal sake. Make sex a priority and schedule sex the right way. Get comfortable talking about sex. Learn and utilize erogenous zones. Reduce stress for more sexual...

According to a recent Instagram poll on our Instagram account, I learned that 80% of couples incorporate oral sex into their lovemaking, and 77% of them said they'd love tips on how to make it better. So let's talk about blowjobs today. Let's discuss how amazing they are, why we like them, how to overcome hang ups around giving your husband oral sex if you want to, and more specifically for women,...

I realize that as I age, my sex life is going to change. I don't think I'm alone in having some anxiety over changes that might come. Yet sex when aging is a topic you don't hear a lot of people talking about or addressing. You might be going through some transitions right now as you approach menopause, health issues, or other changes connected to aging. Some things you used to enjoy sexually may...

I have six children, including 3 daughters, and I want to raise them well. I want to set them up for success in their future marriages. Research shows how we talk to our children, especially our daughters, about dating, sex, and relationships can affect the type of person they marry and how satisfied they'll be in their marriage. After doing this interview you're about to hear, I realize there are...

Crises aren't necessarily a bad thing in and of themselves. Although they're very unpleasant, they can lead to forcing us to grow up and better define ourselves and where we stand. They can serve as catalysts that anchor our moral compass internally within ourselves rather than external – outside of us. This process can lead to more freedom and greater agency, and a fuller life. I've talked to man...

In any intimate relationship, we want two things, which paradoxically seem to be at odds with each other: we want to belong to ourselves (that is, autonomy), and we want to belong to someone else. In many marriages though, it's easy for one person to fold into the other and that person ends up losing themselves in the marriage. What we want instead are marriages where there's more authenticity. We...

Today. I just want to get honest with you and talk about marriages and why they are really difficult sometimes. Frankly, marriages take a lot of work. A wedding may have just been a day; but building a marriage, especially an intimate marriage, is a lifetime pursuit. And let's be honest, there's a lot of pain and suffering that goes on inside of a lot of marriages. I can't think of anything more c...

When you hear the term, Power Couple, what comes to mind? To me I think about a couple that is dedicated to each other and committed to building a marriage in which they know they can tackle every challenge that comes their way.  My guest today is Melanie Studley . She's been on our podcast before (check out the episode we did last year on how to talk dirty without feeling dirty or awkward). I adm...

I'm pretty excited for today's podcast episode, all about lingerie. I recently asked my Instagram followers if they regularly include lingerie in sexy time, and 39% responded yes. In general, husbands were more excited about seeing their wife in lingerie than wives were enthusiastic about wearing it, which might come as no surprise to you.  Generally speaking, men are more wired to be turned on se...

Our mindset and patterns of thinking make a huge difference in our intimate relationships and our ability to grow sexually as a couple. As they say, our brains are our biggest and most important sex organ. How you think about sex, your relationship, and your attitude about your relationship makes a big impact on your ability to connect emotionally, spiritually, and sexually. My guest today is Dr....

Sex Positive and Shame Free are two phrases that people usually don't think about when it comes to overcoming pornography for good, but that's just what our guest today, Sara Brewer , believes is one of the keys that help her clients overcome pornography use. Sara is a life coach that has inspired thousands of individuals to overcome pornography for good. Multiple studies show that pornography use...

In our Christian culture, we're sometimes afraid of the word "erotic," thinking it has something to do with unsavory media or loose morals. Many of us grew up in a culture where anything sexually exciting was considered less-than worthy or shameful.  However, our erotic natures are actually a beautiful part of being human and a way of experiencing the divinity within us. When cultivated, our eroti...

it's March Madness in the United States--the NCAA college basketball tournament. And a lot of people create brackets where they guess ahead of time which teams are gonna win and come out on top. In getting in the spirit of this tournament, we thought we'd have some fun, so we created a sex position bracket for March Madness bedroom edition that you can print for yourselves. So to celebrate sex pos...

One source I found states that one in five women experience sexual assault or unwelcomed sexual attention. Trauma from sexual abuse is ugly and can interfere with a healthy and thriving sexual relationship in marriage. Today my guest is Dr. Wyatt Fisher , a marriage therapist that specializes in helping individuals overcome, heal from, and thrive after a history of sexual abuse. His own wife was a...

One complaint I hear a lot from couples is where they feel like their spouse is consenting to sex but isn't enthusiastic about it. These reports sound like, "let's just hurry and get this done." "I know it's been a while so let me give you sex so that you'll get off my back." "I know sex is important for our marriage, and if I don't give you sex, I'm afraid you'll stray, besides it's my wifely dut...

Albert Einstein is said to have once said, "We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them." And I believe that to be true when it comes to issues in marriage and that's why marriage coaching is so helpful. It raises the level of thinking or the intelligence in the relationship so you can see what's going on. Over the years, I've had the privilege of coaching over...

Holy smokes, this episode is jam packed with so much goodness and truth bombs. You're about to hear Tony and I get a bit vulnerable as we share some of our mistakes and lessons learned about growing more emotionally mature in our relationships. Ever accuse your spouse of being a narcissist – or at least being myopic or only seeing their side of things without taking you into account? Well, this ep...

Mutual pleasure is an important ingredient of a good sexual relationship. The pleasure we get from sex facilitates bonding, joy, and makes sex way more fun! Orgasms are probably one of the most pleasurable sensations we can experience. However, generally speaking, women have a harder time reaching orgasm than men do. There are many theories as to why this is the case. It can be distressing for a w...

This episode is going to be a little more explicit than our usual episodes, but I think that's okay. We get to talk about squirting and female ejaculation, which has a lot of interest thanks to the internet.  But it's also an amazing experience that couples can enjoy together, and attests to God's grand design in our bodies. And I love it because it adds more layers of mystery and fun to your sexu...

Communication and marriage is a big deal. And many couples tell me they wish their communication was better. Many men approach intimacy in marriage differently than women do, and each person in the marriage has their own fears and insecurities as well. And in fact, I think it's the way we deal with our insecurities or how we manage them, that often triggers the fears or insecurities or vulnerabili...

I've observed from my own experience and coaching other couples that we often get in our own way of having the love and passion that we could experience in our own marriages. Sometimes we're just too focused on whether or not our spouse is reciprocating the love we think we're offering. In other words, we reduce love and marriage to be transactional. I love this interview that I have with Dr. Core...

The older I get and more experience I gain, the more I've come to appreciate my eroticism as a part of me. I haven't always been this way though. In all of its good intentions, sometimes people internalize the heart of the purity message by being void of sexual feelings or urges, as if it's a virtue to not have any sexual thoughts or feelings. The reality is that just as we are spiritual, mental,...

Are you a "nice guy" or married to a "nice guy?" "Nice" isn't to be confused with genuinely kind and caring. By nice, I mean one that hints around at what he wants from his wife, but doesn't really ask for it in case she doesn't want to either, or that it might upset her or that he might be disappointed later. So a "nice guy" is just never really direct about what he wants, doesn't really own it,...
