E42 - Marriage on a Tightrope with Kattie & Allan Mount

E42 - Marriage on a Tightrope with Kattie & Allan Mount

Some people long for a life that is simple and planned

Tied with a ribbon
Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land
To follow what's written
But I'd follow you to the great unknown
Off to a world we call our own

Hand in my hand and we promised to never let go
We're walking the tightrope high in the sky
We can see the whole world down below
We're walking the tightrope
Never sure, never know how far we could fall
But it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view
Walking the tightrope with you”

- Tightrope, Michelle Williams

“It might feel like you’re sliding backwards - like you’re back to square one. This may seem like something that has the potential to wreck you, ruin your faith, or completely divert all you’ve worked for. As long as you are doing your best, and asking for God’s help, stumbling blocks become stepping stones - it will always be a step forward.” -Jenny Rollins Nelson

E38 - Divorce Ideation with Dr. Alan Hawkins

“You can flip [the reaction to thoughts of divorce] away from fear and desperation to a stimulus that says 'we need to communicate more,' or, 'maybe we should read a book together or go and get a little help;’ You can shift it from hiding from the issues to going right at them. Physically, that’s what pain does for you. It says, ‘Oh, you better check that out. There must be something going wrong there.’” - Dr. Alan Hawkins

"Mourning with those that mourn and comforting those that stand in need of comfort requires vulnerability on both sides. To have that kind of influence on others, and to allow them to have that kind of influence on you, requires opening up in ways that can feel scary." -Angilyn Bagley

S01 E35 - Betrayal Trauma Part 2 with Kristin Hodson

“These situations in our marriages can bring out the question, 'Do you want to know ME, or do you want to know me as you need me to be to keep you comfortable?' We come to a more stable place in our relationships when we say, 'I want to KNOW my partner - flaws and all,' so that we can build on a place of collaboration and not coercion.” - Kristin Hodson
