Did you ever notice how when the seasons change that the household duties also change? Some things get taken away and some things get added. How often are you talking to your wife about those changes and who will be responsible for those duties?

We hope to help make you better. Our wives deserve for us to be the best we can be! Let's get to work!

This week on the pod we talk about making rest a priority. We all know we need it! I couldn't imagine if I weren't able to get just a little down time from all of my responsibilities. This down time can come in many different forms.
Something we need to keep in mind while we search for this time for ourselves is to make sure our wives are also getting their fair share of rest and rejuvenation. If you can think back to a space when she simply didn't have the energy for you then maybe take another look at how your can give her some of her own space.
Just saying, I'm sure she'll appreciate your consideration and you may even get rewarded for your efforts!

Week 51 babaayyy! I'm so excited to think that we are just one week away from completing a year. We have made a conscious decision to work on our marriages for a solid...whoa whoa whoa
I'm a week ahead of myself. Either way, thank you to all who have been listening this long and also thank you to any new comers.
This week we dive into how we might go into fight or flight mode in our marital confrontations. I think acknowledging this as an issue has opened up my eyes to some solutions that are long over due. Let us know if this episode helps you.

OUR 50TH EPISODE!!!!
We are so grateful to all of you who have been listening. We are more than a year in the making and quickly approaching a year worth of episodes published.
This week we talk about how we as men think that we can just pick something up that we've seen someone else use and think that we can do the same. Some of us think that because we've seen relationships happen that we must be able to do it too.
However, we don't always see the work that goes into making a relationship work. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes. There is so much knowledge gained by experience that we need to appreciate and seek. We're here to tell you that you can get a head start in premarital counseling. Also, if you've already jumped the broom, seeking counseling is not a shameful event.
A solid marriage sometimes needs maintenance just like the power tools we claim to know how to use. See how I brought that back around?

This week we talk about bringing empowered questions to your marriage.
We know life is hard. Having the life you want and seeing others with the things you want are both tough scenarios. So, choose your hard scenario.
Be willing to put some effort into changing your mindset. You will find that it will work wonders in all aspects of your life. Whether that be in your marriage, professionally or in some other arena. When you start to realize that you can have most things as long as you are willing to put the work in for it.
There is a direct correlation between your success and your willingness to experience the opposite.
Just a little reminder to myself for when I don't want to have that tough conversation with my wife!

Do you ever choose to end an argument or do you just hope that time will pass and issues will resolve themselves?
I think some of us live this life without even realizing it.
In this week's episode we gain some tools in order to deal with what we may be feeling in the moment. We come to the realization that our wives are learning to adjust to our new reality of growth. We learn there will need to be continued efforts in that growth in order to prove that this is not temporary.
There is more but I guess you will just have to listen to hear all of it. I mean, that's why you are here in the first place...RIGHT?

This week we talk about finding purpose not only for yourself but in and for your marriage. These days it is all too easy to hop into a marriage without a thought of what your marriage has the potential to bring to the world. You might even be thinking at this moment that is an absurdly audacious statement to make.
If that is indeed the case I would challenge you to listen to the conversation we have. You might change your mind or simply gain some perspective. Well, at least I hope you will.

We plan to expose all the tools to help you find out!

Brothers, I don't know what to tell you. We are all here for a reason. That reason may be different for each of us, but one thing will ring true for all. We NEED to make date night a priority.
Yeah, that's right I said NEED and PRIORITY. Stop making excuses and get down to the business of connection.
In this episode you will hear lots of information on how you can accomplish this no matter what stage of your marriage you are in from our guest Damon Sumner.
Damon is a fellow husband, father and podcaster. He is also a comedian and avid fan of brussel sprouts. Well, maybe he will be if he ever gets the chance to try mine. Damon tells us why you need to fix your mindset about "date night". He talks about tactics to make it happen and what a consistent date night can provide for your marriage.

In case you didn't know there are actually 3 rings in any marriage. Two of them are infamous and maybe even the most spoken about. Then there is the third. This bad mamma jamma needs to be spoken about so we can avoid it.
Listen in while we talk in detail about this third ring. We speak from our experiences and have some revelations on issues we contribute to which can be fixed.

This week landed on a topic of great importance!
Put your mask on first is something that we typically hear on a flight before take-off. But, what if as husbands we took the same frame of thought before hopping into a marriage.
What if, while we are already in a marriage we chose to make ourselves better and healthier so we could be the best versions of ourselves for our families?
I choose to believe that we have the ability to accomplish these kinds of goals.
This is what this community is about. We can support each other and have conversations about real things that are happening in our lives so we know there are others whom we can relate to. There are others we can communicate with and also learn from. There are others we can teach from our experiences and even some of the mistakes we've made.

This is episode is just a quick hitter bonus for our audience. Paul goes it alone but still brings you massive value.
You will hear him talk about setting goals within your marriage. He makes some key points on how to do this in a way many sales people might be familiar with. There is however a little twist which I think we can all learn from.
Listen in and learn about S.M.A.R.T. - E.R. Goals
More specifically how to use the method while setting goals in your marriage.

Wellllll...
We started to have a conversation about respecting differences in a relationship. Then in true Bryan style, the talk got flipped, turned upside down (in my Will Smith voice).
We started to talk about how much money do you need to make. How can you be self aware enough to know what you need and what you want.
There is a path to figuring out what you want to accomplish in life. There is also a path to determining exactly what that will cost and how to earn the necessary means to live the life you want.
Bryan was just telling a story of how he got to that point and we felt that we had gone far enough down that trail to not turn back. I'm sure we will revisit the "respecting differences" topic. There's also a way for you to tell us if that's something you would like to hear about. (details below)
This turned into a pretty good episode for a mid-flight course change.

Welcome back and Happy Holidays!
This week on the pod we are talking "ROMANCE".
We felt that this is probably a topic that most of us need to work on. So, why not talk it out on an episode to get our thoughts, tips, and perspective on the subject out to the world. More importantly though, get our actions on the subject rolling so our wives can be the benefactors.
Some Ideas:Writing letters, flowers, reading together, other joint activities, date night
What you may notice is not every idea has to be like the movies and break the bank.
BE THOUGHTFUL - BE INTENTIONAL - BE SPONTANEOUSWe hope you enjoy!

In this week's episode we discuss needs. More specifically, what is it that we need from our wives and from our marriage? What is it that we need outside of our marriage?
I think the answer we come to may surprise you.
There is a possibility that we are convincing ourselves of needing some things that we definitely don't. What process could we use to determine what is a true need and how do we differentiate that from a mere want?
What kind of conversations do we need to have with our wives in order to drill down to the nitty gritty of the situation?
We discuss all this and more...

This week's episode dives into why as men do we struggle so much with having those hard conversations with our wives. There are so many tough things that we deal with day in and day out. Tough things that we handle well without even flinching.
Then there is our wives, sitting there just waiting for us to have the tough convos so we can just move on. But, so many of us get stuck in our own heads coming up with all kinds of scenarios and outcomes.
Let's be honest with ourselves! Most of the terrible outcomes we manufacture never come to realization. Yet there we are still stuck.
We have a great talk this week and even come up with some ideas to rectify this problem.

We've got a special episode this week. Paul invites his son Isaiah on the pod to discuss his plans for marriage.
This is one bright young man!
Isaiah sits with us and takes a deep dive into his relationship and his plans for their future.
This wouldn't be a MITTWL interview if we didn't ask him our core questions. BUT, Isaiah gets to turn the tables and ask us some questions as well! We're excited to introduce to you this stellar example of a future husband!

Welcome back to the Pod!
Today's episode is a discussion about whether or not we are able to change ourselves. Are we able to decide that we would like something better for our marriage and then make it happen?
I tend to believe the same knowledge that Gary Vee spits, "If you see someone who looks like you who has what you want then you don't have an excuse"!
This does mean you will have to put in the work. You will have to make a decision and act on it.
Where do you start? In my mind the answer is simple in that you must first look in the mirror and take ownership of why you are where you are and then make the choice to move forward. Your steps may be small at first or they may be in the wrong direction but this does not mean that you cannot recover and get back to the path.

Welcome back to this deep diving episode where our friend John tells us a lot more about the way he dealt with the ordeal of the pandemic.
We want to thank John for being as open and raw with all of the details of his experience. We would also like to thank his wife Heather for being the "Real MVP" while helping our close friend and her husband through this tough time.

Welcome back fans and welcome first time listeners!
Today we talk about wether or not co-ed friends are ok for a marriage.
Can you even imagine your wife telling you to go spend time alone with another woman that you weren't related to? Now, we know this is sometimes unavoidable at places like work etc. We wanted to know what are the parameters if any for this type of relationship. When I say, "if any" I mean would it even be allowed.
Have a listen for some good advice to live by which just might save your marriage and a trip to the hospital.
We hope you enjoy!

Today we discuss the word sorry. It seems like such a simple little word. We all know that it sometimes has magical power and yet we use it so infrequently.
What's the reason for that?

Does apologizing give our wives all the power?
Can we learn to apologize and move on with our lives?
If there's one thing I've learned from this episode it's...

Do your children have an impact on whether you stay married?

On this week's episode we talk about getting your finances in check. We talk about doing this as a team with your spouse and having a plan to do so. We talk about ways we have messed up and we talk about wins.
When we first started this conversation we weren't sure where it was going to end up. I have to honest though. I'm so glad we had this conversation because it got real. It will show you that it is ok to mess up.
Couples fall down and they get back up, and the key is to commit to pick each other up.

Today our friend Harlan Tabron brings a great topic for us to discuss. That is "whether or not your wife is your best friend"?
I can already see some of the reactions that may happen out there. You who have been listening for a while now know we intend to keep this podcast 100% authentic.
You can agree or you can disagree. The fact of the matter is we all have our own experiences that we bring to the table. By sharing our experiences we get to learn from each other.
My hope is that we are all learning about different cultures, ideas, styles, etc.
We hope you enjoy!

We have a monster of an episode in store for you today. We invited our friend Justin Bradshaw to be a guest and he more than delivered for the audience.
I'm not going to do the typical show notes here, but know this! If you are struggling in your marriage and you want it to work. Listen to this episode!
You may think that the end of the road is staring yo down. You should listen to this episode!
You may think all love is lost. You may be trying to overcome sickness. You may think God has forsaken your relationship. YOU, should listen to this episode.
Before I heard Justin's story I couldn't imagine that a marriage could go through so much and survive. He and his wife are a true testament to "if there is a will, there is a way"
With God on their side they fought many battles and came through victorious!
Did I mention you should listen to this episode?
We hope you enjoy!

Ok, we know...The audio on the last episode was terrible. It wasn't just terrible, it was down right awful. I hope you will give us some grace as we weren't sure what was causing the issue. Insert audio engineer friend here with a simple fix. Thank you to our masked man whom for your listening pleasure told me, Bryan, stop messing up! Alright, I just had to own that real quick!
We are very excited to share with you our mutual friend and first guest of the podcast...Drum roll please... Harlan Tabron!
He brought straight fire with his wisdom and experience and he brought a topic to match.
In this episode we discuss "What if God made marriage for us to become holy, more than to become happy?"
We go down a couple rabbit holes as per usual. Harlan swings for the fences and does not disappoint. What I'm trying to say here is if you miss this episode...well, you missed a banger discussion.
We hope you enjoy the episode.

"Traveling Alone Together"
I know I know, you're probably thinking to yourself what does that even mean?
When you have so much going on in your life that you can't remember what your wife looks like dressed up...
You need to make some time for yourselves. Make some time for the both of you to be "alone together".
Find a babysitter, quietly ditch your friends (they'll understand) and really focus on each other in a unique opportunity for some well earned QT! (quality time, for those who may not know)
