    167. The Importance of Curiosity and Play in Marriage | Dr. Steve Call

    Are you a young married couple struggling to learn the essential ingredients for a thriving marriage? As a therapist, I know that we all have great intentions when we get married but may not know exactly how to make our marriage work. In this episode of the Always Hope Podcast, I had the incredible opportunity to chat with Dr. Steve Call, a renowned marriage therapist and author. We have a wonderful conversation about his book, A Deep-Rooted Marriage, co-authored with Dr. Dan Allender. Dr. Call detailed what it means to have a marriage with deep roots and emphasized the importance of intentionality in nurturing a healthy and flourishing relationship. He often drew parallels to gardening and beautifully illustrated how tending to the soil of our marriages can lead to a thriving relationship. As someone who’s killed a cactus before, gardening imagery only goes so far. Dr. Call shared many fascinating insights from his book, including the significance of continuous growth, the courage it takes to be vulnerable in a relationship, the need for play in marriage, and seeing conflict as a means for connection. (Not what you usually think). Overall, this episode was a treasure trove of insights and encouragement for anyone looking to cultivate a deep-rooted marriage. I hope you find it as enriching and inspiring as I did! Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:05 Where'd the Supersonics Go? 00:10:58 What is a Deep Rooted-Marriage? 00:20:02 Cultivating Curiosity in Marriage 00:25:54 Healing Your Nervous System Through Marriage 00:46:45 Ritual and Play in Marriage 00:59:10 What Gives You Hope?    Dr Steve Call’s Website: https://www.thereconnectinstitute.com Book Link: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Rooted-Marriage-Cultivating-Intimacy-Healing/dp/1400344468   Not sure how to start a conversation with a someone you find attractive?
