Psychologist and author Dr. Bruce Chalmer joins us to share wisdom from 30+ years of helping couples heal, grow, and reignite intimacy.

We talk about his “Passion Paradox,” the balance between stability and intimacy, and how different perspectives—including his Jewish faith—expand our understanding of love and marriage.

In this conversation, we explore:

✅How his own life experiences shaped his approach to therapy.

✅Why marriage struggles are opportunities for growth, not just problems to solve.

✅The “Passion Paradox”—why couples crave both stability and intimacy, and how balancing the two can transform relationships.

✅How different perspectives—including his Jewish faith background—enrich our understanding of love and marriage.

Dr. Chalmer is the author of three insightful books—Betrayal and Forgiveness, It’s Not About Communication!, and Reigniting the Spark—all written to help couples heal, grow, and reignite intimacy.

He also co-hosts the Couples Therapy in Seven Words podcast with his wife, Judy Alexander, where together they bring humor, honesty, and practical guidance to the challenges every couple faces.

We love hearing from you!
