In today's episode, Brian and Jamie discuss their "Overhaul" package - the Marriage Intensive, and what all that entails.  They discuss how much they personally loved the time spent with the couple over an entire Saturday, and the value they see in being able to knock out so much, all at once, without the hassle of rescheduling, trying to coordinate time off work, childcare, and all that.  More than anything, they talk about loving to see couples commit to trying something new, and how inspiring it is to see couples become "unstuck," progressing, opening their hearts again towards one another, and regaining hope that their marriage can thrive FOR THE LONG HAUL!

Brian and Jamie are pumped in today's episode, as they passionately share about Brian's new book, A Testament To My Wife, A Light for the Lost, Confused Soul.  (Now available on Amazon - link below).

They talk about the inspiration for the book (Jamie, haha), and go through each chapter, highlighting the themes, some of their favorite parts, quotes, and stories that they hope will resonate with readers.  They discuss their hope that husbands, as well as wives, men and women both, will be inspired to glean truths that will lead to expressed gratitude in their own relationships.

They end with a call to action to buy the book, buy for a friend, recommend, and review - share all over social media!!  They even offer to send a book to your friend if money is a problem!!  They want this book in the hands as many as possible, and they're asking you to help promote it.  All proceeds go to support Long Haul Marriage.

In today's episode, Brian and Jamie talk about infidelity in marriage, and the destruction, and devastation it causes, and the challenges couples face when choosing to try to forgive, and rebuild trust after the affair.  Some, understandable so, say, "It's over!"  Some want to forgive but can't.  So can forgive, but find themselves not being able to trust the unfaithful spouse.  So much to talk about.  Brian and Jamie do their best to cover the highlights of the recovery process, and talk about the resources that they have seen help couples over the years.  If you or someone you know is facing this challenge, please reach out for help!

In today's episode, Brian and Jamie discuss their recent internet and phone outage, and how INCONVENIENCE it was for their lives, from business to entertainment, and how it forced them to rethink their day.  Brian talks about how it exposed him for the true addict he is, and how reliant he is on his phone as a go-to for boredom, or isolation.  Jamie talks about the up-side to being forced to surrender things out of your control, and to make "better" choices in those moments regarding how to spend your time.  Life's distractions and detours can be wise teachers if we let them!  Listen with curiosity today about your own need to be connected to and through technology, and see if you might need to intentionally and voluntarily unplug a bit more often.

In our second most listened to episode, we share the "bad and the ugly" of the first few years of our marriage, talking about how our basic differences, plus unhealed wounds from our past caused major issues - explosive anger, broken trust, disrespect, and the resulting broken hearts that ultimately caused us to consider divorce.  We talk about seeking counseling, and Jamie reveals a secret that she believes allowed us to "crawl out of the hole" we were in.  We have recommended this episode to so many struggling couples over the last 2 months, we thought we would reprise this episode.  If you are struggling in your marriage, and have lost hope that things could get any better, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, Brian and Jamie take a minute at the top to thank their faithful donors, to talk about the value in giving, even when one might think the gift insignificant, and how every little bit helps them do this important ministry.  They simply do NOT want to say no, and because of your generous support, they don't have to!

They then shift into one of their most favorite discussions so far - the interesting topic of couples using google or ChatGPT for marriage advice.  We all use google searches multiple times/week, and more and more of us appreciate ChatGPTs ability to give us tons of information in seconds, at the snap of a finger!  However, Brian and Jamie warn of using it for marriage advice, and how it can totally miss the root causes that underly the issues that you're asking about.  They talk about not only the need for good, specific prompts, but the value that they provide as marriage coaches, knowing the right questions to ask to get to the heart of the matter, as well as the individual, personal attention that can help couples explore areas that they never knew needed exploring.

What will your life look like when you're 60? It will sneak up on you WAY FASTER than you could ever imagine! (Can I get a witness from all the old farts out there?)

In this week's episode, Brian and Jamie talk about how quickly Brian arrived at this milestone birthday, and what he has to show for it.  They talk about how time flies, faster even than the cliche', and how important it is to set your priorities based on your highest values, and relentlessly pursue a life devoted to those priorities.  For Brian and Jamie, it's all about family, and their 36 year marriage (and counting) is the foundational backbone upon which their legacy is being built.  They wouldn't trade it for anything.  

They talk about his surprise in Broken Bow, and the binder full of love letters from family and dear friends - the best present he could ever receive.  

Thank you all for making this old fart feel really special!  So, sit back, take some Geritol, gum some apple sauce, and enjoy this episode before your 8:30 pm bedtime!

Mostly at a loss for words, Jamie and Brian share their heavy hearts regarding their personal grief over the state of the world right now...yes, in regards to the collective reaction to the horrific, extremely public assassination of Charlie Kirk, but more widely, to the state of the human heart in today's world.

Not wanting to make any political statements, or discuss "conspiracy theories," or deep dive into one of a hundred rabbit holes, they simply share their sadness over the hatred that has become so normalized, especially on and by social media platforms, and that has destroyed civility in this country and around the world.  Yes, these are sad days, and they didn't just "arrive" out of nowhere.  Not wanting to be insensitive to the victims or families of tragic murders that happen every day, they acknowledge that this is nothing new, and that it is just a symptom of a deeper societal issue(s).  

Join us as we pray for our nation and nations around the globe, and God, come heal our land!

Made you look!!  Ok, so you may not be having an affair, or cheating on your spouse, but are you prioritizing your golf game, or your girl's night above your marriage?  Do you ever have to use the term "kitchen pass" around your buddies?  Have you "joked" with your girlfriends that you feel like a "hunting widow" every September through December?

In this week's episode, Brian and Jamie discuss prioritizing your marriage above EVERYTHING ELSE.  Although it takes some sacrificial living, and making some difficult choices, in the long run, giving your best to your marriage, your family, and your spouse will pay dividends like you could never believe.  

Be inspired this week to put your spouse first, and keep the main thing, the main thing!

Welcome back - and thank you for being here!!  We missed you all.  We're looking forward to Season 3, where we'll be sharing some more guest interviews, as well as some family/parenting content, as well as our usual marriage/relationship fare.

In our first episode of the new season, we dive into the work-a-day world, why we work "40 hours a week," leaving little time for ourselves, our passions/hobbies, and the people in our lives that truly matter to us.  What got us here, and is there a way out!?  We discuss the temptation to think we're trapped, even if we want to work less hours, or spend more "me" time during the week, and the cynical, "yeah, easy for you to say" attitude. We challenge our listeners, (and ourselves) to become curious about the statement, "You don't have to live this way."  Come along, and we hope you enjoy it.

We might sound like a broken record, but when it comes to issues that are problematic in marriage, none is more conspicuously at the top of the list these days than SOCIAL MEDIA, and our @#$% phones!!  In today's episode, Brian and Jamie talk about the prevalence of "early divorce," throwing in the towel WAY too early, and how easy it has become in our current culture (not easy, as in not difficult emotionally, rather convenient).  And what is leading many to be discontent, comparing their relationships or spouses to an on-line unicorn, is the addiction to social media, and the negative bias that we all have once we fixate on our differences.

Brian and Jamie challenge us to "fast" from our phones and social media, for a pre-determined length of time, and to notice the positive changes in our lives, and in our marriages.

Note - this will be our last podcast until the first of September.  Enjoy the fast or the reruns, and we'll see you in the Fall!  We love you all!

This week, Jamie, is inspired by a Ben Rector post, talking about a chance encounter with the owners of a newish restaurant in San Jose, CA, called The Second Wife, brings some thoughts about putting yourself out there, risking "failure," and what that risk can bring into the world.  Although not crowded (like, he was the only one there) when Ben walked in, he thought about the passion of the owners who had previously meticulously laid out the silverware on each table, how the cooks in the kitchen were prepared, and even how the owner commented, "Oh, you'll LOVE that dish," after he had ordered. 

Brian and Jamie get into the divine, creative spark in each of us that is just waiting to be birthed into the world, and how many times, we may miss the opportunity to see God bring them to fruition, many times due to a variety of fears.

Be inspired today to do the thing, write the book, start the business, record the content, make the phone call - do it scared!!!

And as always, THANK YOU to our generous donors - we COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT YOU!

In today's episode, Brian and Jamie recount some of their most embarrassing, but most hilarious moments that they've shared, (while being publically humiliated), but lived to tell about.  They talk about the importance of not taking themselves too seriously, being able to laugh at themselves, and the major bonding experience that this can be.  Some of their most treasured moments of their marriage has been laughing themselves silly recalling what could have been a disaster, or even turned into a big fight.  Learning to laugh with one another can be one of the best medicines to heal, and to create a marriage for the long haul!

You are in for a treat!!!  In today's episode, you will be blown away by our new friend, Kay Smith.  Jamie and I met Kay recently at one of our favorite Mexican food joints, and instantly knew we had encountered a kindred spirit!  After just a couple of brief conversations, we knew we had to interview Kay for the podcast - mainly focusing on her hospitable manner, and the incredible culture in which she leads and works.  But, boy, were we in for a surprise!!  Who knew Kay was a chef in a former life, had grown up with incredible challenges, had been through a fairly recent divorce, and had backpacked her way through 9 countries in 5 months - solo!!!!  Wow!

Sit back and enjoy an incredibly deep conversation about spiritual connection, and inner healing and transformation.  Thank you, Kay!

In today's episode, Jamie and Brian sit down with Zoe Penzes, a dear friend of the family (and girlfriend of another dear friend of the family), and discuss what life is like for a 22 year old female in today's world.  They talk about the sketchy online dating world, navigating how to meet someone in today's culture that has similar values, the fears and concerns about dating, and finding THE ONE.  They discuss why many are opting to wait until much later to get married, if at all, and the temptation to be jaded because of our parents' experiences, as well as all the nightmares we see and hear about on social media.  

We get to hear about Zoe's past, growing up without a father (who tragically passed of cancer when she was 2), and the void that left in her life, and what she felt was missing, and what she was looking for in a partner, and future family.  Zoe shares great advice for anyone looking for a solid, long-lasting relationship...one that will last for the Long Haul!

In today's episode, Brian and Jamie answer a couple of questions from listeners, talk about parenting, and a few things they discussed on their online parenting workshop, as well as some things they've learned about parenting along the way.  They zero in on how important it is to love and support your children, no matter what, even when that is challenging (because you might disagree with their current life choices).

In today's special anniversay edition, Brian and Jamie talk about celebrating 36 years of marriage on June 3rd!  They talk about how they met, the great, but rocky start, the train wreck, the counseling, and eventually all the healing that has led to the legacy that they are proud of today.  They talk about their passion for helping other couples, giving them hope, and tools to try to save their marriages, or improve relationships, or even just have a more fulfilled life!

John Gottman, 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work (referenced this when discussing the "4 Horseman of the Apocalypse - Criticism, Defensiveness, Stonewalling, and Contempt)

In this episode, Jamie and Brian discuss the "Inverted Bell Curve" of Marital Satisfaction...first, how normal it is to fall into this pattern, (hence the curve), and secondly, how important it is to work through these frustrating seasons/years, so that you can experience the high level of satisfaction reported by couples who make it through these challenging years.  They emphasize that love is a choice, that it is fluid as far as passion and intimacy, and that it is the commitment that will hold it all together.  They discuss the importance of evaluating where you are, being honest with yourself, and sharing it with your spouse - often!  We pray that you will all be encouraged, and re-up on your commitment to be in it for the long haul!
