Summary

In this side piece episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, we pull back the curtain on our 124 page couples retreat workbook and walk you through exactly what we teach at our marriage retreats. You’ll hear us dive into the masculine and feminine, yin and yang dynamics, identity, ego, self discipline, emotional regulation, and how your inner world becomes the atmosphere of your relationship. We read straight from the workbook Peaches built for our 2 Be Better couples retreat and break down chapters on conflict, leadership in the home, time and energy management, communication without assumption, and somatic practices for couples. If you’re searching for real marriage advice, couples retreat content, masculine and feminine energy in relationships, or long term relationship tools that actually work in real life, this video gives you a front row seat to how we coach couples at our retreats.

You can expect practical frameworks, raw examples, and a ton of journal prompts you can use with your partner tonight, even if you never attend one of our retreats. We walk through how identity and ego show up under pressure, why self regulation and discipline matter more than good intentions, and how to repair small ruptures before they become big resentments. We also unpack how masculine repair and feminine repair look different, how to stay connected when you’re both exhausted, and how to build emotional safety so intimacy, affection, and sex actually thrive. Whether you’re a married couple, engaged, or in a serious relationship looking for conflict resolution tools, communication skills, and journal prompts for couples, this episode is a full mini workshop on building a steady, intentional, “2 Be Better” kind of marriage.

0:35.8	We're going to be reading some stuff from a couples
0:37.8	retreat binder that my hot wife put together so that you guys can get an idea of what goes on
0:41.8	at the couples retreats. And we're going to have discussions while she does it. This might be a
0:46.3	book that she decides to sell one day. The December retreat that this book is being used for will
0:51.3	have already come and gone by the time you guys see this. And the

1:24.1	my own personal notes. And I've compiled a little workbook for our
1:28.0	couple's retreat, like my husband said. This little. It's 124 pages. Yeah. It's 123. And that was by
1:36.7	mistake. But 123 is a very special number. So it is 123. Yeah. Oh, I thought because of that error
1:44.1	and you moving it down, it would create an extra page. No. Okay. No. I just had to shuffle things. Gotcha. Yeah. So it's 123. One, two, three. Go. So there are eight chapters total, nine chapters if we're going to include the semantic practices that I included for the couples at the end. We're going to have to find another chapter. It's going to fuck up your page count. Can't do nine. Why? Because 10. Oh, but nine's such a good number. But 10. It's even. Oh, your poor soul. It's got to be even numbers or multiples of five. This is bullshit. I'm going to add a chapter 10 and put, this is only for my husband's
