Better Sex show

Summary: State of Our Union Program<br>Bringing personal life experience to the fore, Corey explains how the idea of ‘The State Of Our Union’ came about. On a weekly basis Corey and his wife used a text message reminder with 5 questions. This helped them escape work and family distractions and sit down with each other religiously to talk about their personal lives, sex and their emotions.<br><br>They now have a program you can join that allows you to practice the same commitment with your partner in order to share meaningful conversations. Once a week you will get a text message with 5 questions to discuss with your partner. Once every quarter you receive a different set of questions in addition to the 5 weekly questions, which are broader and more long term.<br><br>Corey encourages using a journal to write your answers down so that you can track your progress and keep in touch with each other on a more personal level. Approaching what you are both grateful for is an example of what the quarterly questions include. Corey emphasizes that it is not sex-focused and can be about anything we are grateful for. The program is built to bring people together and keep people in tune with each other.<br><br>In the case of couples not having the time to fit these candid heart to hearts with each other, Corey expresses that it is absolutely possible to find a few minutes to connect and not making the time is already a reflection of where your relationship is and what you need to work on.<br><br>Background<br>Corey Allan (if you want to be formal it’s Dr. Corey Allan, but he’s usually pretty casual) is a husband, father, author, speaker, as well as a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Ph.D. in Family Therapy.

Pam is a CPA at a small firm in Frisco TX as well as a co-pilot with Corey’s work.<br><br>To sum it up …<br><br>Love is a process, not just a feeling. It produces action. Added to this, life is a choice (so is marriage). Therefore, we work to help people:<br><br>Grow deeper Spiritually<br>Keep it simple<br>Be passionate<br>Live in community with others<br>Enjoy the ride<br>Marriage is more about becoming a better human than it is about the two people being happy. So when you keep things simple, you are in a better position to experience more in marriage and life.<br><br>“I don’t want people surviving their relationships, I want them thriving.” ~ Dr. Corey Allan<br><br>Links and Resources:<br><br><a href="http://sexymarriage.net" rel="noopener">http://sexymarriage.net</a><br><a href="http://sexymarriageradio.com" rel="noopener">http://sexymarriageradio.com</a><br><a href="http://smrnation.com" rel="noopener">http://smrnation.com</a><br>More info:<br>Book and New Course – <a href="https://sexwithoutstress.com" rel="noopener">https://sexwithoutstress.com</a><br>Podcast Website – <a href="https://www.intimacywithease.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.intimacywithease.com/</a><br>Sex Health Quiz – <a href="http://sexhealthquiz.com/" rel="noopener">http://sexhealthquiz.com/</a><br><br>Webinar:<br>How to Make Sex Easy Without Making It Feel Like an Obligation – <a href="http://intimacywithease.com/training" rel="noopener">http://intimacywithease.com/training</a><br><br>Better Sex with Jessa Zimmerman<br><a href="https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/better-sex/" rel="noopener">https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/better-sex/</a><br><br>Source: <a href="https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/149-the-state-of-our-union-dr-corey-allan"></a>
