The opinions of outsiders can create havoc within a relationship. Just the word "mother-in-law" is likely to bring one or both of you into a heightened state of bickering. In this episode we have selected several excerpts from our live speaking engagements to delve into the mechanics of why opinions affect us and the methods we have used to drop this mental luggage off at the curb. (In the last segment Rachel was literally using luggage on-stage to make an important point.) Enjoy!

Overcoming the Opinions of Others

Here it is...Our first ever Rise Together attempt at answering some of the ridiculously difficult questions you, our loyal listeners send via email. Since we choose these questions live during recording with no prep time you get to hear us play hot potato with some of your gnarly questions about sex, parenting, being fatigued and more sex questions. Screen cap yourself listening and tag us on instagram @msrachelhollis and @mrdavehollis with your opinion of the new Mail Bag format!

Mail Bag Episode - Dave and Rachel Answer Questions About Sex and Parenting

In today's episode Dave takes a solo mission deep into man country and tackles the four things men can't talk about to their partners.  Guys whether you like it or not, these issues eventually crop up in every relationship. By learning to boldly identify them they lose their power to derail your marriage. Women, this is like getting a secret map to the very things that might be jamming communications. Dave is transparent and frank, and for that reason we don't recommend playing this podcast around little humans. We hope this episode will unlock freedom in your relationship, like it has in ours.
