In this episode, we discuss a heartbreaking situation where a husband has left his wife multiple times, even after the birth of their child and their baby's stay in the NICU. The wife is in emotional pain and confusion as to why her husband explodes in anger or runs away so much, despite being wonderful about 90% of the time. We delve into the principle that anger is based on pain and explore the possible reasons behind the husband's behavior. Dr. Joe recommends seeking professional counseling and leveraging the Emotionally Focused Therapy approach to address the husband's abandonment and control issues. The discussion also touches on setting boundaries and taking necessary steps to ensure safety in cases where there is physical, intellectual, emotional, or spiritual danger. If you or anyone you know is going through a similar situation, this episode may offer some insights and guidance on how to cope with abandonment and anger in a marriage.Relationship Radio is hosted by CEO of Marriage Helper, Kimberly Beam Holmes, and founder of Marriage Helper, Dr. Joe Beam.Regardless of your situation, what we teach will not only make your relationships better, but will also help you to become the best version of yourself along the way.Relationship Radio is released every Wednesday and is an extension of Marriage Helper.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.

This episode tackles three relationship questions. The first one is about a new empty nester who is experiencing relationship issues. Even when the kids were still there, the wife was distant and disinterested, and suggesting counseling would only push her away. The video suggests that the wife may be questioning her value and identity as a mother, and it is important for the husband to be patient and understanding, listen to her, and find something that they can focus on together that would make her feel valuable again.The second question is about a woman who cheated on her husband and has been back in the marriage for eight months but doesn't feel in love with him anymore. The video says that it is possible to love her husband again, but she needs to be careful not to measure it against the same level of excitement and sexual exhilaration she had with the other person. The video explains the scientific viewpoint of love and suggests that what she may be lacking is the feeling of passion, which is a craving for oneness. The video advises her to focus on building intimacy, commitment, and passion with her husband.The last question is about the Marriage Helper workshop. This person asks if they should try to fix issues in their marriage before they attend the workshop. Dr. Beam explains that it is best to keep things light until they attend the workshop where we can help guide them through each specific issue and provide the tools to start rebuilding the marriage.Dive into this episode with us!Relationship Radio is hosted by CEO of Marriage Helper, Kimberly Beam Holmes, and founder of Marriage Helper, Dr. Joe Beam.Regardless of your situation, what we teach will not only make your relationships better, but will also help you to become the best version of yourself along the way.Relationship Radio is released every Wednesday and is an extension of Marriage Helper.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.

In this episode, we answer questions from our listeners regarding limerence. Limerence is a state of intense infatuation and longing for another person. One listener asks how long limerence typically lasts, and we explain that it can vary from three months to 48 months, with most cases lasting around two years. While it's possible for limerence to last longer, it's quite rare. We also discuss a case where a listener's husband had an emotional affair with a coworker, but it didn't turn sexual. The listener asks if her husband's friendship with the coworker could still be considered limerence, but we believe it's unlikely to have lasted for 12 years. Another listener asks how to start trusting her husband again after an emotional affair, and we recommend building calculated trust to rebuild the relationship. Ultimately, understanding the stages of limerence can help individuals navigate complex emotional situations in relationships.

On today's episode of Relationship Radio, we're talking about the relationship between belief systems, values, and emotions, and how they can influence each other and lead to changes in behavior. It is common for people to have gaps in their belief systems, and these gaps can sometimes be filled in by external influences such as other people or new experiences. It is also common for strong emotions to compete with or override belief systems and values, particularly when those beliefs and values are not fully formed or are not deeply held. This can lead to conflicts between what a person believes and how they behave, which can be referred to as cognitive dissonance. We'll explain why it's important for people to regularly review and reflect on their beliefs and values to ensure that they are in alignment with their desired behavior and to make any necessary adjustments.Relationship Radio is hosted by CEO of Marriage Helper, Kimberly Beam Holmes, and founder of Marriage Helper, Dr. Joe Beam.Regardless of your situation, what we teach will not only make your relationships better, but will also help you to become the best version of yourself along the way.Relationship Radio is released every Wednesday and is an extension of Marriage Helper.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.
