EPISODES BY TOPIC
Every couple wrestles with challenges–it’s part of being human and being married. Below is a topical guide to Marriage IQ episodes organized around the six struggles that most often challenge marriage relationships: communication and conflict, intimacy and sex, trust and fidelity, stress and resilience, commitment and expectations, and decision-making and financial stress.
Through research-based insights, honest stories, and practical tools, each episode is designed to bring hope and healing into real marriages. Therapists may share these episodes with clients as trusted resources, and couples can listen together as a supplement to therapy–or to get started on a path of change when therapy isn’t available. Wherever you are on your journey, these conversations will help you feel less alone and more equipped to build the kind of marriage you long for.
