The Ultimate Intimacy Podcast

Nick and Amy interview Bryan Reeves who is the author of a new book called "Choose Her Everyday (or leave her)" about the importance of choosing your spouse everyday in your relationship. Bryan compares a relationship to a precious fragrant flower that is brought into the home, but then fails to be watered. Relationships start out beautiful and amazing but if we dont continue to nourish and feed those relationships, they will eventually die. We also discuss why you need to choose her (your wife) everyday, the 3 stages of love and the one you need, why great sex is never enough and you need to have 3 things to have a healthy relationship, how without a shared purpose your relationship will fail, and how relationships between couples are messy, but part of life. These are just a preview of the great things in Bryan's book and the perspective he provides. This is a great read for all the men (and women) out there and this book will help you look at your relationship with your spouse in a whole new way.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

About a year and a half ago, we had a lady write to us and say she would never be using the Ultimate Intimacy App again based upon an article we had on the app. We were shocked and wondered what we had on the app that would cause this as we personally review and post everything that goes on the app.  It was an article that was written by a Sex expert and Marriage Counselor.We read through the article several times again and thought that everything stated in it was beautiful and offered ways for couples to draw closer together and connect deeper. We found nothing wrong or offensive at all and were very confused so of course we did our research and wanted to share our thoughts.In this episode, we discuss the taboo word that a lot of Christians don't like and possibly just don't understand. We believe that any time you slow sex down, concentrate on your spouse and use your 5 senses, that even deeper Ultimate Intimacy can be found in your marriage.

In marriage, more often than not couples come from different backgrounds and have different experiences growing up which shapes "their" parenting styles and beliefs. For example, one might have had very strict parents with many rules and structure while the other spouse may have had very lenient parents with little structure. While neither one is right or wrong, our reality of how we were raised can shape our perception on how we should parent our kids. It is vital for couples to talk about "how" they are going to parent their kids and make sure they are on the same page with how they do it. If couples are not on the same page with how they raise their kids, it can cause some serious issues in the marriage. In fact, many divorces happen because of this. In this Episode, Nick and Amy interview Dustin and Alana with Marriage In Action and talk about the 15 things parents need to be on the same page about. Some of these include:How you are going to discipline your kidsWho your kids friends are and who they spend time withYour expectations and consequences The entertainment your child is engaged in such as video games, movies, reading and musicStandards and beliefs you are going to teach your kids (religious, political etc)If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.
