  • 2025 from The Rear View Mirror
    2025/12/16
    In this final episode of the year, Brian and Jamie take a look back over 2025, the beginning of Long Haul Marriage, dealing with the grief of their less than sanctimonious departure from previous ministry positions, starting a new business TOGETHER, and testing the strength of their 35 year marriage in the most stressful pressure cooker in recent history! They talk of the ups and downs, and realize with grateful hearts, that there have been way more ups than downs! They talk about the rewards of their ministry, as well as lessons they've learned, and how their own marriage has grown through the process. They share eternal gratitude for everyone who supports their ministry, and every couple that trusts them with their relationship. They look forward to 2026 with excited and humbled hearts!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from us! See you next year!!

  • (Parenting) Lessons from the Hot Tub
    2025/12/09
    In today's episode, Brian and Jamie discuss the always daunting, and tricky task of parenting - especially in today's culture where social media, and "popularized" parenting pressures from all sides, can make us question if we're doing anything right!! They discuss the stress of the holiday times, many times made worse by us working ourselves into a frenzy as parents, trying to be the "perfect" gift-givers for our kids.

    They talk about their serendipitous conversation with 2 other couples in a 103 degree "World Spring" hot tub, which led to an incredible bonding experience, as they all shared just how hard it is to parent our kids these days. We all love our children, and for sure mean well, but many times, our deepest intuitions will be tested, and although there may be a societal tidal wave in an opposite direction, many times those "popular" opinions will prove to be incorrect.

    Brian shares some insightful pages from The Hunter Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century, by Heather Heying, and Bret Weinstein.

    As always we so appreciate you listening. Enjoy!

  • Does Real, Passionate Love Truly Exist, and Does It Ever Last?
    2025/11/18
    Looking for a good cause and a year end tax deduction? We would be honored if you would consider supporting Long Haul Marriage. A huge thank you to our supporters! As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of our listeners, so if you have been positively impacted by this podcast or our ministry, would you consider supporting Long Haul Marriage with a tax deductible donation? To give, just visit ⁠longhaulmarriage.org⁠, and hit the donate button in the top right corner. Thank you so much for considering, and make sure to like, subscribe, and share this podcast with all your friends.

    In today's episode, Brian and Jamie listen to a young, 20-something woman, ask questions that many young women are asking..."Is there really such a thing as passionate, romantic, even "obsessive" love that can last a lifetime?" "If it does exist, can it truly last, forever?" The deep questions reflect the fears that are prevalent among many, born from models of marriages and relationships where the honeymoon phase faded quickly, and one or the other bailed, getting tired of their partner, or where people chose to stay, but ended up resenting each other, and constant bickering or bitterness became the norm in a loveless marriage.

    Brian and Jamie dispell the myth that such "fairy-tale" love (with no ups and downs) truly exists, but also discuss the value in choosing to love, making the decision to stay, even during the natural hard times that inevitably come in every relationship. They talk about the incredible rewards of true love that is expressed in gratitude and forgiveness, loving even during tough times, which yields great gains through the pain.

    It's not either/or - either it's amazing forever, or it ends up "sucking." They share how they are now in the most passionate, romantic, chemistry-filled season of their entire 36 years, and how it's always hard-fought, but totally worth it!

  • Does My Marriage Need An Overhaul??
    2025/11/11
    In today's episode, Brian and Jamie discuss their "Overhaul" package - the Marriage Intensive, and what all that entails. They discuss how much they personally loved the time spent with the couple over an entire Saturday, and the value they see in being able to knock out so much, all at once, without the hassle of rescheduling, trying to coordinate time off work, childcare, and all that. More than anything, they talk about loving to see couples commit to trying something new, and how inspiring it is to see couples become "unstuck," progressing, opening their hearts again towards one another, and regaining hope that their marriage can thrive FOR THE LONG HAUL!
