  • How Satisfied Are You in your Marriage?

    How Satisfied Are You in your Marriage?

    Parenting Workshop Link (This Thursday night, the 29th, at 8 pm CST)

    https://calendly.com/longhaulmarriage/new-meeting

    John Gottman, 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work (referenced this when discussing the "4 Horseman of the Apocalypse - Criticism, Defensiveness, Stonewalling, and Contempt)

    In this episode, Jamie and Brian discuss the "Inverted Bell Curve" of Marital Satisfaction...first, how normal it is to fall into this pattern, (hence the curve), and secondly, how important it is to work through these frustrating seasons/years, so that you can experience the high level of satisfaction reported by couples who make it through these challenging years. They emphasize that love is a choice, that it is fluid as far as passion and intimacy, and that it is the commitment that will hold it all together. They discuss the importance of evaluating where you are, being honest with yourself, and sharing it with your spouse - often! We pray that you will all be encouraged, and re-up on your commitment to be in it for the long haul!

  • Road Trip with Family - Vacation or Nightmare?

    Road Trip with Family - Vacation or Nightmare?

    Parenting Workshop Link

    https://calendly.com/longhaulmarriage/new-meeting

    After a week off to celebrate Mother's Day and Jamie's birthday in beautiful Santa Fe, NM, Brian and Jamie are back to discuss taking a road trip with their entire family (adult kids, and grandkids), as well as the upcoming Parenting Workshop which will feature hearing from their grown kids (Chandler, Christian, and Carson, 31, 29, and 24). Vacations with family can be amazing, or a total FAIL. We've experience a little of both, but are driving toward making the most of our time together by adopting a positive, healthy mindset going in. No, things WILL NOT go according to plans, but learning to enjoy the beautiful mess is what it's all about.

    Hosting a Wedding in Our Own Backyard!! Would We Dare Do It Again?
    May 5 2025
    Brian and Jamie hosted a wedding for family friends in their OWN BACKYARD! In this episode, they talk about that experience, their extra busy weekend, and then talk about meeting couples at their vendor fair in Justin, Texas. They talk about one of their favorite services, their "hittin the road" premarital package, and how many young people are starting to take advantage of that, and why.

    They also share their excitement about the upcoming Online Parenting Workshop they will be hosting at the end of May - (hoping to land on May 29), with their own adult kids, aged 31, 29, and 24. You still have time to log in your vote on the best night for you and your spouse.

  • UGH!! You Make Me So Mad!!

    UGH!! You Make Me So Mad!!
    Apr 28 2025
    We've all had them - rip roarin' fights where we want to strangle our spouses (boyfriends, girlfriends, fiance's) - not really, but really. We get so frustrated, and we know that if our significant other would just grow up and quit being so stubborn, they would see our point, and agree with us. But instead, the stupid fight escalates, and what was, just minutes ago, a perfectly normal, fun evening, has now turned into a nightmare, with screaming, cussing, or worse yet, the silent treatment, the cold shoulder, stone-walling, not speaking for 2 hours, or 2 days sh$% show!! So, how do we short circuit this pattern? In today's episode Brian and Jamie share a fight they had just hours before recording, and the attempts made to "repair" the breach, and the outcome of said repair attempt. Enjoy.

  • "Finding" vs Making Love

    "Finding" vs Making Love
    Apr 21 2025
    In this episode, fresh off of a walk listening to one of his favorite podcasts, The Telepathy Tapes, Brian engages Jamie in a conversation about the concept of "finding love" (the goal of our modern dating apps), versus Making Love...choosing to love, deciding to love, expressing love, even when you don't feel like it. They discuss how many confuse infatuation and novelty for love, and the more nuanced, difficult topic of parsing the goodness of "self-love" against taking it to an extreme, which looks more like selfishness, and self-protection. They knew to tread lightly as they totally respect people learning to love themselves, but also know that if we're not careful, we can lose the sacrificial aspect of love that enables us to forgive, give grace, and live in a fulfilling marriage that will last for the long haul.

    Fresh off her women's retreat with sister non-profit, Beautiful Ashes Ministries (Beth Shuey), Jamie shares about attachment styles, and how, no matter what cards we were dealt from childhood, we are offered an invitation to grow forward from there. She and Brian share some client questions around transformation and change, and Jamie gives some practical advice on implementing small tweaks that can majorly change your life!

    Challenges of Parenting Teenagers
    Apr 7 2025
    Join the conversation with some of Brian and Jamie's dearest friends, Blake and Adrina Mabry, as they discuss some of the challenges we all face as parents these days. In this candid conversation, you won't hear anyone claiming to be an expert, rather how it takes a village, and how valuable it is to have a mentor couple in your life...a couple that might be a little further down the road from you who can encourage you, and can empower you to parent on purpose, with bold intentionality!
