Where in your marriage have you written something, unintentionally, that has a toxic dynamic? That has been woven in alongside things that are meeting genuine needs? What do you actually want to write into your marriage rather than incorporate from someone else's teaching or influence? Whose script are you living? Spurred by thoughts on The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast and the influence of Mark Driscoll on couples.

Many of us just want someone to tell us what to do. But when it comes to the marriage relationship, there is not formula, no cookie-cutter solution that works for all couples. How can you become authors of your own marriage rather than co-opting or absorbing someone else's? Join Chris Bruno and Tracy Johnson, marriage counselors and hosts of the Thrive Marriage Lab, to hear how you can identify and move toward writing your own scripts.

In this sixth episode, we talk about the hijacked desire for containment and how this can often turn into high control and a "ratcheted down" life, keeping us disconnected from the presence and withness of our spouse.
You can find out where your desire may be hijacked by taking the Other Loves Assessment.

In the last episode on The Source of All Conflict (DESIRE!), Chris and Tracy talk about the connection between fear and desire and the ways it comes between them and their spouses.
We mention that we're starting Season Two on February 23rd and are in need of several couples to write a short (500 words) story of communication in their marriage. Describe the context, what happened, and what happened next/after. We'll read it on the show (anonymously) and then offer professional story-lensed counseling thoughts, curiosity, and direction showing you more of how to have a truly thriving marriage. Please email Beth@restorationcounselingnoco.com with questions and submissions. Thank you!
We also mentioned that the Thrive Marriage Lab opens once a year. Head to https://www.restorylabs.com/thrive to sign up for the wait list to hear about our next enrollment week at the end of March!
