    I noticed in the beginning of this podcast there were so many 30 minute episodes now there are so many one minute three minute, two minute episodes with so many ads. It is hard to get through especially when you are trying to play in your car. I like the 30 minute or longer ones where you actually learn something and not have to sift through all of the quick teachings with ads!

  • Good but …

    I really like this podcast but sometimes it feels out of touch with reality. Adding to that the recent episode with the Witchers. It just wasn’t my fav. It feels like they are trying to be carbon copies of the Evans.

  • You have said that when your wife says "when you have a minute coukd you do this" it means do it now. I woukd take this to mean coukd you do thus soon, not what you said that you need to do it now. If she means do it now, that is what she should say.

  • Solid Wisdom, but Will No Longer Listen

    I think Dave and Ashley are great at being vulnerable and have a lot of wisdom for married couples. However, when I heard that they are having Jimmy Evans on as a guest after the spiritual abuse and controversies he was involved with came out, l I just had to unfollow. No matter if he was the founder of XO, he should not be given a platform to give guidance on anything spiritual given that he has only given excuses for his behavior and no apology.

What It Takes to Truly Know Your Spouse with Jason & Rosalind Hamilton

Finding True Love After Divorce with Steve & Abi Fort
Q: Today's question says this: my spouse and I get along fine, but it honestly feels more like we're roommates than partners. Where do we even start to reconnect?
