Married People Podcast

Does your marriage have purpose behind it? Do you feel like your marriage serves a higher purpose? Not everyone does, but it can make a tremendous difference. Join us as we talk to Nina Schmidgall about how to find a purpose with your spouse.

All of us have marriage problems. And those issues can often dominate our focus. But what if we could focus on something else to make our marriage better. This week's guest, Mike Foster, has an alternative to focusing on your marriage problems.

We've mentioned the Enneagram several times on our podcast before. So we decided it was time to dedicate an entire episode to talking about it. And we invited some Enneagram experts to help us.

This week's episode is a little different. That's because we've joined forces with the hosts of another marriage podcast! Big Rich & DeAnna Millentree host the Growing in Marriage podcast and they had a conversation with Ted Lowe about making marriage better.

It’s no surprise that we all carry some baggage into our marriages, and believe it or not, all of that baggage can actually spill over into our marriages—whether we’ve been married 30 days or 30 years. To unpack this, we invited Dr. Matt Turvey on to the podcast.

A high-performance marriage looks different for everyone. We all have different definitions for what it means to be successful. But there are still a few keys that we can learn from others to do marriage better. And that's what we discuss on this episode with our friends, Stephen and Kate Dahlin.

Families come in all shapes and sizes. And they can each have a unique impact on your marriage. This is especially true for blended families. To dive into this important topic, we invited our friend and blended family expert, Ron Deal, to join us on this episode.

Our marriages are greatly impacted when we have kids. But they're also impacted when those kids grow up and move out of the house. In this episode, we talk to Brian & Amy Bloye about recently becoming empty nesters.

It should come as no surprise that the top cause of divorce is unfaithfulness. So how do we protect our marriages from allowing that to happen? This is one of the heavier conversations we've had on this podcast, but also one of the most important.

One of the most daily important decisions we make is what battles to pick in our marriage. Some are worth fighting. Some just need to be let go. How do you tell the difference between the two?

It's not always easy to juggle being a father and being a husband. They both can require so much—while being so rewarding at the same time. For this conversation, our guest is Kenny Luck—the founder of Every Man Ministries.

Wife and mother are two important roles in the life of any woman. But how do you balance between those two things? To discuss this, Ted Lowe interviewed the founder of Birds on a Wire, Karen Stubbs.

Every marriage has decisions—from choosing a restaurant for dinner, to choosing a house to live in. The most important thing is to learn how to make decisions together, with your spouse. But sometimes, that's easier said than done.

Quick update for our listeners: we'll be taking a break for the rest of 2018, but will be back with new episodes in 2019. Thanks for listening to the podcast!
