The Dad Edge Podcast

Are you white-knuckling it through your marriage? Sometimes the relationship with our spouse gets off track and it seems beyond repair. We wonder how long we can hold on, but it's not because the marriage is hopeless. It's that we don't possess the right tools to make it work. Today's guest is Seth Studley, the other half of The Anatomy of Marriage podcast and app for couples. If you listened to the show with his wife Melanie, you'll remember that their marriage was so bad that she ended up giving him a black eye. Seth is a Licensed Family Therapist and he gives us the man's perspective on marriage. He tells us the signs that his relationship was headed for disaster, how it totally derailed, and the emotional labor he had to do to piece it back together. For those men who are tired of fighting their way through marriage, this show is a game changer. Listen now or download for later!
