Today we’re talking laughter. Without the ability to laugh at yourselves in marriage, you have no marriage (not a fun one anyway).

Laughter is a crucial element to a successful and joyful life. Laughter is a physiological response to humor that releases tension, excretes endorphins, makes you. happier, and it’s contagious.

When you read headlines like, “Tiger Woods plays with own balls”, Nike says, do you laugh? How about, “Volunteers search for old civil war planes.” I’m really hoping they didn’t search too long. Haha

Come learn how to seek and find more humor in your everyday lives so your marriage will be a fun environment that is relaxing, rejuvenating, and — fun.

Today’s episode is all about suffering in marriage.  Do you feel plagued with emotional suffering, depression or anxiety?  Negative emotional patterns?  Are you consumed with fear? Do you feel stuck and find it difficult to move forward or create positive change because of your suffering?

What if I told you that suffering is a choice?  What if I told you that suffering isn't something that happens to you because of life's circumstances, rather, it's a place you choose to go because you're fulfilling some of your needs?  Tony Robbins famously says, "Pain is unavoidable, a fact of human life. But suffering is optional, it’s a choice." 

Have a listen to this episode, keep an open mind, and you might be surprised at what is revealed regarding suffering.

Gossip is self sabotage! There's something called Spontaneous Trait Transference and what it means is this..... when you make negative comments about others, people listening associate those same traits with YOU because the brain is wired to identify you with the comments you make (negative or positive).

People logically know you are talking about another person, but the brain forces the listener to perceive YOU as possessing those negative traits you speak of. Is this what you want happening in your marriage? Do you want your spouse to view you the way in which you speak of others?

So Mama was right... if you don't have something positive to say, say nothing at all. Join me in this episode to learn how gossip affects your marriage, what to do instead of gossiping, and what to do if your spouse or friends gossip.

We acknowledge the many sacrifices military members endure while defending the freedom and security of our nation — and we acknowledge the sacrifices made by other service based careers that are dangerous (firefighters, emergency personal and police) — but their family members sacrifice just as much. Being the spouse of such service based professionals isn’t an easy endeavor.

In this episode, I talk with Aimee Lopez — wife to Dave Lopez, a former Navy SEAL who now conducts missions for two organizations: Operation Underground Railroad and The Nazarene Fund. O.U.R. rescues children from sex trafficking and The Nazarene Fund rescues victims kidnapped due to religious persecution. Dave’s life is constantly in danger, so we’re going to find out from Aimee how she remains calm while her husband is off in the dark trenches of evil constantly putting his life on the line, how she runs the home smoothly while Dave is gone, and how they maintain a normal home life and successful marriage despite the stress his job provides. And Dave is back on the show to join us for this conversation!
