Welcome to the Bear Marriage Podcast, I'm Sheila Ray Greck, we're from to Love Honor and

Vacuum.com and we like to strip away everything that doesn't help

marriage from normal marriage teaching and get back to the heart of what

God intended and on this the last Thursday of the month we are doing our Start Your

Engines podcast podcast where we focus a lot on guys not

entirely on guys but a lot on guys and so I have some guys joining me today.

I have my husband Keith.

Hey everybody and my son-in-law Connor. And Connor is Rebecca's husband, so Rebecca is usually here, but you've taken her place today.

I'm the stand-in. You're the stand-in. We're glad you're here. Okay, couple of announcements before we get started. We have some

prizes for people. So I love the fact that you guys listen to the podcast. I would

love it even more if you've got on our email list because I write so many great blog posts,

especially the Direct Communication Series this month.

And so we are going to be giving away another copy of the orgasm course.

So somebody who signs up to the email list this week before next Thursday's

podcast you're gonna get one as well as someone who's already on the list

um congratulations to I think it was Sarah who won it last time but sign up. The link is in the podcast notes. Another thing, thank you so

much to Brett Ullman and his book, Parenting, Navigating Everything. He is our big sponsor this month on the Bear Marriage

Podcast and Brett's book is just so great because as a pediatrician you know by the

time kids are teens and they're getting into trouble it is really too late

it's a lot it's front-loaded work it's a lot it's so much better to build a

healthy communication earlier.

And so Brett's book goes into how to do that.
