Is it Better to Marry Younger or Wait a While? What Does the Science Say? Part 1 Ep. 304
Elliott and I have been meaning to debate this question for a while now—so here it is!
Elliott married at the tender age of 22 and, as for me, I was 42 before Dan and I tied the knot.
We both have strong, loving marriages. We’re both incredibly happy. But, we took very different paths.
Over the years, we’ve had fun taking sides—with Elliott proclaiming the benefits of marrying young and me asserting it’s better to wait.
But, what does research say? And, which couples end up in Elliott’s office due to crises? Those who married younger or older?
Join us for part 1 of our “debate” about when it’s best to marry.
Spoiler alert: Elliott actually concedes a point to me—this rarely ever happens in any disputes we have! But, I’m guessing I’ll be conceding a few points to him in part 2. :-)

Save Women’s Sports! with Former UPenn Swimmer Paula Scanlan Ep. 303
Imagine this: you’ve worked your whole life to swim at the collegiate level. You make the team at an Ivy League school. All those sacrifices paid off—you’re competing at the elite level!
And then, before your sophomore year, a guy joins the team. His name is Will, but he now goes by Lia because during his junior year, he decided he was a woman and started hormone therapy.
You don’t think it’s right that a 6’1” man will take the place of a female teammate–a girl who’s worked as hard as you did to earn her spot on the roster. Furthermore, you’re uncomfortable with a man changing in the women’s locker room.
You mention this and you’re told, “You should get some psychological support.”
None of this makes sense. None of it is fair. But, if you discuss it—even with your teammates—you’re called “transphobic.”
You stop talking about it because no one’s listening. You finish your senior year and then head to New York for your first job.
But, you’re still mad about it. You know men competing against women is wrong. You realized it’s bigger than the injustice you endured—women’s sports are at risk of extinction.
You break your silence and join The Independent Women’s Forum—an organization devoted to protecting women’s rights in the midst of a culture that permits men to invade female spaces.
This is exactly what happened to Paula Scanlan.
She shares her story today on Love & Life.

When Your In-Laws Step Over the Line: Help for Newlyweds (and Others!) in Establishing Boundaries Ep. 302
In the midst of newlywed bliss, we often overlook the importance of presenting ourselves to our families and friends as a united front.
That is, until our in-laws begin to meddle and make inappropriate demands . . .
Of course, we remain respectful of our parents and in-laws. Of course, we want to avail ourselves of their wisdom and guidance.
But, a young couple (or not-so-young couple) must demonstrate to their families (and to themselves) that their primary allegiance is to each other–NOT to their families of origin.
It’s a complex, difficult process which involves grieving the loss of former alliances. For example, a father and daughter may have always had a special bond–which is wonderful–but now, the daughter’s primary connection needs to be with her husband.
Learn how to grieve these losses while simultaneously establishing healthy, appropriate boundaries with our families of origin.
Elliott and I discuss all this and more in today’s episode!

The Sex is Bad but I Don’t Plan On Leaving. Now What? Ep. 301
You have questions. We’ve got answers!
As part of our series on Elliott’s premarital counseling curriculum, we shared 2 episodes about how to cultivate true sexual intimacy and fulfillment.
We received some feedback from listeners whose sex lives are extremely difficult. They don’t intend to leave their marriages for various reasons–there are children involved, or they love each other deeply despite the physical disconnectedness, or they don’t believe sexual incompatibility warrants divorce–but obviously, they’re very unhappy with the status quo.
Specifically, listeners asked us:
1. What if my spouse is emotionally abusive? I’m not going to leave because we have children and I don’t want to disrupt their home. But, it’s brutal having sex with someone who’s cruel, demeaning, and volatile. Any thoughts?
2. Our sex life isn’t going well, but my spouse refuses to go to counseling. How can I make things better?
3. feel like our sexual relationship is one sided in that my husband always gets his needs met, but mine rarely are. How can I address this without feeling like I'm begging?
Join us to hear Elliott’s advice for these difficult issues around sex, emotional abuse, and incompatibility.

Couples Who Pray Together Stay Together. The Importance of Spiritual Intimacy in Relationships Ep. 300
A 2016 Pew Research Poll found that just 44% of respondents consider shared religious beliefs to be key to a successful marriage.
Therefore, 66% of us aren’t too worried about aligning spiritually with our partner.
But, is it wise to minimize this?
Actually, according to multiple studies, couples who pray together DO stay together. In fact, marital satisfaction is highly correlated with religious affiliation and committed practice.
Join us for our responses to this data—and other research findings which highlights the importance of aligning spiritually with your partner.
