10 Minutes To Save Your Marriage

A problem has arisen for one listener--she wants to know how to live her life to the fullest when it seems she is burdened with being a caretaker. James and Dr. Steve agree about the proper advice on the surface--but listen to see if their agreement is really all that it seems!

Just as the title line implies, this week's letter writer asks about how to handle a situation whereby her employee literally smells bad.

A great listener question this week--she asks about how she knows if she is in love? What is love? How do we define love?

A fun, informative episode!

Pretty straight forward question this week--a listener writes in to say that she is in a bad marriage and that her daughter has been asking if they are getting divorced.

James and Dr. Steve do their best to lend some guidance in under ten minutes!

A very common question these days--should I stay, or should I go? In this case, it's about the letter writer's job. She wonders if she should leave for more money or stay where she is comfortable. James and Dr. Steve seem to agree--although it never quite feels that way!

Pretty straight-forward question this week--but an interesting one to dive into! A listener wrote in about asking a friend if the friend thinks a girl (that the letter writer met online) is attractive. An awkward question, or a developmentally appropriate one? You decide!
