Emotional Wholeness in Marriage: The Key to Connection for High-Performing Couples Jun 27, 2025

The other night, I walked in the door at 7:45 p.m.

I’d been out of the office all the previous week at a conference — and this was the first day back. It started with a 6 a.m. workout, followed by back-to-back client calls, a handful of leadership decisions, and a few difficult conversations.

Why Spontaneity Is the Secret Weapon of High-Functioning Marriages Jun 20, 2025

A couple of Saturdays ago, Paige and I went out for lunch with no plan for the rest of the day.

 A few weeks ago, it was raining in Nashville.
Paige and I both love the rain.

I had just wrapped up my early morning workout when I sent her a simple text:

If you’ve ever felt like no matter how much work you do —
The books, the podcasts, the journaling, the therapy sessions —
You’re still caught in the same painful relationship patterns…

The Boundary That Changed Our Marriage Dec 15, 2023

A few years ago David and I were experiencing conflict when something he said stopped me dead in my tracks…

And, it completely changed the trajectory of our relationship.
