Better 2gether with Dennis and Loni C.

In this podcast episode, we discuss stonewalling in relationships, a concept identified by renowned relationship researcher John Gottman. Stonewalling occurs when one partner withdraws, shuts down, or avoids communication during conflict. We examine the impact of emotional flooding, the role of the "Four Horsemen," and evidence-based techniques for healthier conflict resolution and stronger relationships.Topics covered:What stonewalling isSigns of emotional withdrawalWhy people shut down during conflictEmotional flooding and stress responsesGottman's Four HorsemenHealthy alternatives to stonewallingTips for improving communication in relationships#Relationships #Communication #JohnGottman #Stonewalling #ConflictResolution #Marriage #MentalHealth #CouplesTherapy #Podcast #relationshipadvice#podcast #couples #marriageadvice #marriageadviceformen #marriageadviceformen#ytviral #ytshorts #ytviral#viral #viralvideos #hottopic Subscribe for biblical marriage advice, relationship coaching, and real conversations that help couples stay and grow together.Looking for pre-marital or post-marital counseling?

Is marriage just a legal formality, or does it hold something deeper—something sacred, emotional, and powerful? In this episode, we explore the idea that marriage is far more than a document. It’s about commitment, shared growth, vulnerability, and choosing each other every day. Whether you’re married, engaged, or questioning the meaning of it all, this conversation dives into the real weight behind the vows—and why love, in its truest form, goes far beyond ink and signatures.Want to help support our mission of strengthening marriages?

It may withstand life's challenges, but it lacks the deep strength and stability that comes from a relationship grounded in God's Word.Join us for an honest and meaningful conversation about marriage and its true lifeline—Jesus.

Raising kids in a culture that often seems indifferent or even hostile to religious values can be challenging for parents who want to pass on their faith and instill a sense of meaning and purpose in their children. However, there are several ways to navigate this challenge, build a strong foundation of faith, and raise children who are resilient in the face of secular pressures.

In our society, love is often portrayed as a magical feeling—something that sweeps us off our feet and leaves us breathless. While those butterflies in our stomachs are real, it's essential to recognize that God's Love goes far beyond mere emotions. It is, at its core, a conscious decision we make every day. Understanding that God's love is unconditional, but it also a decision rather than just a feeling which empowers us to build stronger, more resilient relationships. It encourages us to take responsibility for our actions and emotions, fostering deeper connections that withstand the tests of time. In the next part of the series, we’ll explore how this decision can manifest in daily actions and choices.
