Welcome to the Dr. Wyatt Marriage Podcast, which will give you practical marriage and relationship advice on physical intimacy, conflict resolution, sharing power, emotional intimacy, staying in love, and much more. Leave a voicemail 24/7 with your marriage questions at 303-578-0618 then Dr. Wyatt will respond to it on the next episode. Relationships can be tough work. Partners have different needs, different expectations, and different backgrounds. Therefore, it doesn't take long before relationships get turned around and headed in the wrong direction. When relationships struggle, intimacy stops. And when intimacy stops, couples feel even more disconnected, creating a vicious cycle. The Dr. Wyatt Marriage Podcast can help turn your relationship around. Each episode is full of insights, tips, and encouragement to grow your relationship. Dr. Wyatt Fisher is a licensed psychologist with a Master's and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. He's been in private practice in Boulder, CO, since 2004, he's the author of the Total Marriage Refresh book, founder of the Total Marriage Refresh conference, and the developer of the Keep the Glow app. He's also been married since 1999 and his own relationship has been to the brink of divorce and back so he helps couples from both a personal and professional perspective.

Seek help—through counseling or coaching—to break harmful patterns and learn new tools....

The POWER Of Forgiveness In MARRIAGE

Forgiveness in marriage can be blocked by several powerful emotional and psychological barriers. Deep hurt, betrayal, and unresolved pain often create walls that are hard to tear down. Pride and ego can keep someone from admitting fault or extending grace. Holding onto anger or resentment can feel like self-protection, especially when trust has been broken. A lack of empathy or understanding for the other person's perspective makes forgiveness harder. Sometimes, the offense feels too great or re...
