SETH AND MELANIE STUDLEY | The Anatomy of Marriage

Some of the most common questions we receive (and this has been consistent over the past 8 years) is how to make a marriage work. And, with the breakdown of my own marriage over the past year, it’s clear to me more than ever how hard the union between two people can be. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible and it doesn’t mean it isn’t worth pursuing.

The benefits of marriage are plenty including the shared responsibilities, the fulfillment found in service to another, and the growth that must take place in order for a marriage to work. Today, I’m joined by Seth and Melanie Studley who focus on helping couples work through their marital challenges and create a thriving relationship. We talk getting back to the basics, the growth vs. fixed mindset, why men must cast vision, common mistakes in marriage, how to recognize the tests of women, and so much more.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

* Marriage therapy vs. marriage coaching
* Women unconsciously (and consciously) test men
* Actually getting on a better path instead of just manipulating
* Taking extreme ownership in your marriage
