  • Learning so much!

    This is a podcast I’ve listened to for a long time and never knew how to discuss it with others. It sounded like it was all about S€X and I didn’t know where to go with that. Now I’m in Janna’s course and I see that it is SO MUCH MORE! Learning about communication, equity and equality in the relationship, vulnerability, etc etc. at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this podcast has changed my life.

  • Listening, Learning, and Truly Understanding Wife’s Desire,19 yr relationship

    This podcast does an incredible job of breaking down women’s sexual desire in a way that’s honest, respectful, and easy to understand. It explains how desire isn’t just physical, but deeply connected to emotions, safety, stress levels, and feeling seen and valued. Listening to this helped me understand why desire can fluctuate and how important patience, communication, and trust really are. It changed the way I listen, respond, and show up for my partner, and that understanding has made our conn... more

  • Divorce? Janna is a fraud!

    Janna is a fraud!

    My wife and I took her class 3 years ago, didn’t help at all. We are now with a certified therapist and this is helping.

    We had a men’s group that we created a text group. We have tracked our group of about 50 couples and after taking Janna’s course 75% of the couples are now divorced? Janna should survey her past participants and I wonder if this is common, 75% divorce rates after taking her course.

    She withheld information on her divorce for 2 years, and continues to do hat... more

  • Amazing

    It’s amazing to me the difference between a Godly marriage podcast and one that is not. Women- do better. I’m a woman. We need to do better. I listened to the Lisa episodes incredulously. How can we justify hurting our men this way? I just don’t know. But this is NOT where it’s at for me. I’ve been married for 27 years and I broke my man with a sexless marriage and I hate myself for it. Women, search your heart. Our men our hurting. They are working in a thankless world to make a life for them a... more

  • Where “Do the work” finally clicked

    This podcast sparked me on a journey to become a better husband, a better father, and better man.

    This podcast is for any man who has peeked into Reddit’s deadbedrooms or various redpill subs, any man who has found their marriage unrecognizable after an adult ADHD diagnosis, any man who uses porn as a substitute for marital intimacy, or any man who simply thinks “why are other men’s wives giving them sex all the time and I don’t get any?”

    This podcast is for that man’s wife, too.

    Your wife is... more

Q: What was the turning point that made you feel safe to share openly?
