Special Holiday Edition: Ghosts of Relationship Past
150 150 Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

Do you settle down with a good book you have read over and over this time of year?  I read my kids the exact same Christmas book every single year.  And many years, I re-read a classic for myself… like A Christmas Carol.  This year, I want to offer a redux of a prior podcast episode… about the Ghosts of Your Relationship Past.  Yep.  Christmas, with new opportunities.  Here it is:


The Ghosts of Relationship Past.Christmas Eve.  Chris and Holly have settled into bed.  Neither can sleep.  It is not, however, sugarplums dancing in their heads.

Both are replaying the arguments and hurts of the past.  Neither feels connected, although both are desperate for that warm embrace each used to treasure.

What happened?  Where did their relationship fall into trouble?

Can they find their way back?

First, they will have to make it through a night of haunts, as the Ghosts of Relationship Past visit them this night.

Are they the same ghosts that haunt your relationship?  Is there a path through the pain?

Listen in as Chris and Holly face the hauntings of their relationship.

Holiday Hurt and Healing
150 150 Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

Holiday Hurt and HealingHow are you doing with the Holidays upon us?  Did you know that between the end of November and the end of December, there are over 14 holidays (Holy Days) across the spectrum of beliefs and religions?  In the US, the dominant holiday season is around Christmas.

If you are in the midst of a marriage crisis, the holidays can be especially painful, full of hurt and grief.

And opportunity.  Healing.  Help for your relationship.

Unfortunately, the hurt often keeps people from moving to the healing.  Pain keeps them from connecting.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.  It can be a time of healing and connection.

In this week’s podcast episode of the Save The Marriage Podcast, I discuss the hurt and pain, but also the possibility and potential for healing.  Listen below.
