What happens when your marriage is tested by betrayal — and how do you grow through it instead of giving up?

In this powerful episode of Marriage IQ, Dr. Heidi and Dr. Scott Hastings sit down with Dr. Corey Allan — licensed marriage and family therapist, podcaster, and creator of Sexy Marriage Radio. Corey opens up about his own story of infidelity, the turning point when his wife handed back her wedding ring in a Texas food court, and the two years of deep therapy that reshaped him as a man, husband, and father.

Together, we explore:

✅ Why marriage exposes us to ourselves — for better or worse

✅ The role of identity and insight in building a thriving relationship

✅ How Dr. David Schnarch’s Crucible Model helps couples balance separateness and togetherness

✅ Why “Would I want to be married to me?” may be the most important question you ever ask

✅ How couples can move from reaction to reflection after betrayal or conflict

Corey’s honesty, combined with the Hastings’ research and coaching insights, will challenge you to stop blaming, start reflecting, and bring your best self to your marriage.
