| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Empower Couples podcast where you get modern, non-boring relationship advice for you and your partner to communicate like pros, fight smarter, and stay on the same team no matter the challenge that you face. I am one of your hosts, Aaron Freeman. And I'm Jocelyn Freeman, but you all just know us as the Freeman's. And this episode is about three things men need to work on in marriage right now. |
| 0:21.1 | And before you feel like it's going to be imbalanced and what is it all on the men? Don't worry. |
| 0:25.6 | We are going to be covering three things that women can work on in marriage this week as well. |

| 0:41.3 | it can really make a big difference. |
| 0:43.3 | And the beauty of our work is we get to talk to couples all day, every day. |
| 0:48.3 | So these things are coming from all the conversations we're having with people, which means you're not alone. So if you hear some of these |

| 1:39.2 | And of course, the marriage journey is about both of you, but when you think about it, |
| 1:46.6 | where it has to start is with you. And rather than start to look for the places that you think your partner needs to start to change or to shift, the beginning is about looking at your own patterns, |
| 1:53.5 | your own triggers, your own not only patterns of action, but patterns of thought, patterns of |
| 1:58.0 | emotion, your dominant attitude. And a lot of this is the place that the real work needs to start so that for the relationship, |
