This Week's Episode:
Often what our kids are feeling or conflict arising in our marriages are being driven by feelings, thoughts, and identities that we aren't even consciously aware of. This week we delve into how our underlying identities--as a good dad, an impressive cook, a good host, etc.--can rear their heads and cause conflict.

The good news it that this is an opportunity to pursue our spouses, partners, and kids. We can take a step back and separate ourselves from the moment to get some perspective. We can ask good, genuine questions. We can know our loved ones and help them achieve greater self-knowledge as well.

Join us on this exciting path towards intimacy, love, and mutual acceptance.


The Stat of the Week is a survey of college students and their parents related to when one becomes an adult, and what are the attributes that "prove" one is actually an adult.
