“Relationships”

Are you still learning new things about them? Here is one way to continue getting to know each other: be your partner's dream detector!

"Marriage has fallen on hard times in our culture. It doesn't get held up as something admirable and something that gets handed down to the next generation. So I feel like people are more and more on their own trying to figure it out for themselves."

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Chris Grace and Dr. Tim Muehlhoff talk with Dr. Ed Uszynski, contributing author to Athletes in Action and speaker for FamilyLife. Marriage is changing and more people start marriage without the tools to succeed. How is that showing up in those relationships? Listen to hear this discussion!

"We want to connect with a marriage counselor, but there aren't any near us?" "My friend is making some bad decisions! What do I do?" What do you think? How would you respond to these? These are just some of the questions we get to answer on today's podcast. These situations are ones that listeners have submitted to us and we love taking time to answer them. Listen as Dr. Grace and Dr. Muehlhoff share their thoughts on these situations and others. 

Dear CMR,

Some good friends of ours have been having a tough time in their marriage. They are Christians and are considering giving up on the relationship. What can we do to help them keep going?

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn. The list can go on and on. Social media sites can be found just about anywhere you look. So often we talk about the negative impacts social media can have on relationships but rarely do we flesh out what those are. And even more rarely do we ever consider benefits that social media can bring to our relationships. How has social media impacted your relationships?

Dear CMR,

I am a college sophomore and I've been trying to move my relationship with my parents into an age-appropriate place. I don't live close to them and I am growing and changing in ways they aren't around to see. I still want them in my life but since we don't live close, how do I grow and encourage them to understand that I am changing and evolving?

In this video, Dr. Tim Muehlhoff explains these different types of noise and how they can make it hard to understand someone in a conversation. Can you guess what they are?

Dear CMR,

My wife and I have pretty similar styles of handling our finances and so we don't talk about our money often. Is that a problem? Why should we talk about money if there doesn't seem to be an issue?
