Hi friend!

Let’s talk about something often overlooked—but essential—for a healthy, thriving marriage: REST. Not just physical rest, but the kind that restores your mind, heart, and your connection with your spouse.

What if the closeness you’re craving isn’t about more time or better communication, but about learning to slow down together?

In a world that celebrates busyness, many couples are quietly running on empty—tired, disconnected, and just trying to keep up. But what if rest isn’t a luxury? What if it’s one of the keys to thriving in your relationship?

In today’s episode, we unpack why rest—not more effort—might be exactly what your marriage needs this season. If you desire deeper intimacy, emotional connection, and closeness, then this episode is for you.

Men’s Mental Health: You Are Not Alone

“I can’t hide myself I don’t expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it’s like to be a man It’s a lonely road, and they don’t care about what you know It’s not about how you feel but what you provide inside that home.” — Dax, “To Be a Man”

This is the chorus of Dax’s song “To Be a Man”—and I know some husbands out there can really relate. The pressure. The silence. The weight of holding it all together by providing.

So as we wrap up June and Men’s Health Month, I want to speak directly to my brothers:

You don’t have to walk through it alone.

Taking care of your mental and physical health isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom. It’s strength.

And it’s one of the greatest things you can do for yourself, your marriage and your family.

No matter where you are in this season—or how deep the struggle feels right now—know this:

There is hope. And there is help.

Let’s talk about it.

Hi friend!

You’ve probably said it—or at least thought it: “Once things calm down... once I get that promotion... once the timing feels right, then we'll reconnect."

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of waiting for the perfect time to connect with your spouse. But here’s the truth: waiting might be hurting your marriage more than helping it.

In this episode, we’re unpacking 4 powerful reasons why you shouldn’t delay meaningful connection with your spouse—including how waiting for the “right time” can quietly sabotage intimacy and what to do instead.

Whether you’ve felt emotionally distant lately or simply “too busy,” this loving (and practical!) conversation will give you the nudge you need to prioritize your marriage right now—in the middle of real life.

Hey friend!

Today, we’re diving into one of those topics that might feel a little uncomfortable—but that’s exactly why it’s so important to talk about.

Every marriage has its ups and downs. And sometimes, without even realizing it, we slip into habits that slowly create distance instead of building connection. In this episode, we’re talking about a few things husbands often wish their wives would stop doing—not because they’re trying to control or complain, but because they truly care. They’re longing to feel closer, more understood, and more at peace in the relationship.

This isn’t about blame or finger-pointing—it’s about understanding each other better and growing together.

So, whether you’re listening on your own or with your spouse, take a deep breath and lean in with an open heart. Some of it might sting a little—but it just might open the door to something really beautiful.
