Prime Marriage Podcast

We are Chris and Brandi Futrell and we are here to have conversations about marriage. Are we qualified couple therapists? Nope. We are pretty disfunctional ourselves at times. We don't have everything figured out, but we invite you into the conversation as we discuss what has worked for us and may help you too!

Breaking the Cycle

Hey there! Welcome back to Prime Marriage Podcast. We apologize about the late drop for the episode, but we have been a bit busy with remodeling and grandparent duties! :) Today we recorded a brief episode about breaking cycles. We have been witness to a lot of examples lately of people close to us (and maybe us too!) breaking cycles of behavior that are detrimental to our lives, relationships, and self-worth.

The Four Fatigues pt. 2

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Prime Marriage Podcast. We are continuing with our series on fatigue today. Last week we talked about physical, emotional, and spiritual fatigue. This week we are looking at conflict fatigue. That may sound odd, but believe us, it is real. I'm sure most couples have experienced it from time to time.
