Unique Challenges Of Being Married To Veterans/First Responders
Joining my episodes on men in IT, doctors, lawyers and CEO's! A listener wrote:
"Topic Idea: Challenges associated with being married to veterans. I don't know if you have seen many vets in your practice over the years, but perhaps there's a theme that could be interrogated here. My wife sees some of my adult behaviors as either outright pretentious or at a minimum annoying. I have tried to identify the cause and the best I can come up with is being an adult child of a dysfunctional home but then later finding the structure and discipline I needed to "normalize" my life in the military. Many of those habits have followed me for the rest of my life. Behaviors like routine, adherence to schedules, neatness, and even how I fold my clothes. I suspect it was the personal growth I achieved in the service that made me successful in college after I got out, and within my professional career today. As a reference point, I am now 52 and have been out of the service for nearly 30 years. Anyway, just a thought that maybe there might be something here to discuss in a post or on a podcast. My wife and I love your show, and your candid advice. You're often a topic of conversation in our house."
Sure! Dive in to what I think about this after having worked at the Charleston VA and with many veterans and first responders over the years.

Having Bad Sex Too Often Is Not The Goal Either
Some couples are having too MUCH sex... quick sex every day so that the man "doesn't have to masturbate" or ever feel any sexual frustration. The problem is that the woman, past the honeymoon stage, can become dissociated from her own body and desire. Listen to learn about what good sex is and isn't!
