We have talked about the love languages before, but it is such a big issue for couples that we felt like we needed to do another episode diving into the topic at a much deeper level, and providing step by step things that you can do. Many couples tell us that although they know each others love languages, there are still issues in their marriage over different love languages in the relationship. I...

We live in a world where good is now considered evil and anyone with sanity is now considered crazy. The traditional values, responsibilities and roles of men and women that have been around for thousands of years are suddenly now being treated as abnormal, offensive and even appalling and people are being destroyed for talking about it, or standing up for it. Men are being degraded and portrayed...

Society is convincing women that if they are "not in the mood" for sex, and if they don't feel like making love that night, then they shouldn't have to even think about it! Both people should be in the mood in order to consider making love right?  WRONG! What happened to foreplay?  Society is convincing men that sex is now completely "off limits" unless his wife is al...

We get so many messages from husbands that make comments like: "I feel like my wife just want's me for the paycheck" There are husbands that feel like their only purpose is to provide financial support. As we have talked many times before, a husband feels loved, needed and appreciated through physical affection and intimacy from his wife. Many husbands feel like they are in relation...

A pet peeve is a relatively minor annoyance that provokes a strong negative reaction in your spouse (or other person).  We all have little things that we do that drive our spouses insane (and vice versa). Many of these things are so small and non existent to even the people around us, but to us, they drive us or our spouse crazy! Pet peeves are things like: A spouse checking their phone while you...

You hear us constantly talk about how almost everything can be resolved with communication, which is absolutely true. But what happens when you have a spouse that doesn’t want to communicate (or won't communicate) because they are afraid it will turn into a fight, or they don’t want to talk because it is uncomfortable? We hear from MANY couples that they try to communicate with their spouse,...

We all go into marriage with expectations of what we think it should be like, and are often disappointed when things don't go as we expect. So, are expectations in marriage good or bad? Is it healthy to have expectations? In this episode Nick and Amy talk about expectations in marriage and share experiences in their relationship. Communication is key when it comes to holidays.  Having some ex...

Marriage is meant to be full of passion, excitement, connection and intimacy! But it is really quite scary how easy it is for relationships to slowly slip away if we are not doing everything we can to work on our relationships on a daily basis. Many couples find themselves growing apart and don't realize what is causing the disconnect, and end up just being two people living together. Marriag...

Is pride hurting your marriage? Chances are, it is at some level. It has been said that pride is the silent killer of relationships!

There may be some times in our live when our pride is high, and other times when we are humble. However... when left unchec...

We always talk about how important it is to have frequent sexual intimacy in marriage, and let's face it, most couples are probably not having as much sexual intimacy as they should. But have you ever thought about if there is such a thing as too much sex? As you know, every year or so we do a 7 day sex challenge where we challenge couples to have sexual intimacy for 7 days in a row, and then...

Of course there are many good reasons why a wife may not enjoy or want to have sexual intimacy. Some of the reasons could include past trauma, relationship issues, conflict, depression or stress, or various other reasons. We understand these are real and need to be addressed.

About 10% of all women have never had an orgasm. And more than 80% of women cannot have an orgasm from intercourse alone. Bottom line, it is hard for many women to orgasm. For women who have never experienced an orgasm, or have a hard time having one, sex can feel like a chore. It can be un-enjoyable and even something they distance themselves from. They may feel guilt, shame or as if something is...

Is sex really a good indicator of how good (or bad) your marriage is? In this episode Nick and Amy talk about this and also share the poll answers we received from our audience to find out how others view this as well.

In a previous podcast episode (81) we talked about how to know if something is ok or not ok in the bedroom. The question we presented for everyone to ask themselves was "Does it bring you closer together as a couple?"

Want to know what is just as important as goal setting as a couple? Getting rewarded for accomplishing your goals as a couple!

In our relationship, we have had funny intimate experiences that we continuously laugh about and we were certain many of our audience have had the same. In this episode, we took a poll on social media and asked our audience: Are you adventurous in your love making? What is the craziest place you have made love? Have you ever been caught during the act? What was your reaction after being caught? Th...

We recently did a video on social media for the men titled "the reasons your wife doesn't want to make love to you." We have heard a lot of the women state it is because their emotional needs are not being met . In one of the comments from the video, a husband stated: “A man’s emotional needs are linked to his wife making love to him, which she won’t do unless her emotional needs ar...

We have all heard the stories from women complaining their husbands want sex ALL THE TIME! But what seems to be a lot less common is complaints of their husband not interested in or wanting to have sex.

The other night we were having a deep conversation that was sooo good. We were assessing our marriage and talking about how this time period in life can get boring and stagnate and feel like we do the same thing every day over and over again (like Groundhog Day). We were also discussing why we think this time frame in life is the hardest on marriages. After discussing these things, we wanted to se...
