  How a Time Limit on the Fight Saves Your Marriage with Kameran Alareqi (Part 1) 17.09.2026 24min

  By now it feels safer to stay quiet than risk another talk that ends with one of you walking off and the other chasing them down the hall. In this episode you'll see that what looks like a communication problem is usually a safety problem — and that giving a tense conversation a clear time limit is often the one small move that keeps one of you from bolting and the other from pushing until you both shut down. When the words have stopped coming easily, start there: grab Dr. Diane's free Yes, No, Maybe Checklist at mylibidodoc.com/freebies — a five-minute way back into the conversation.

  The 2 Rules That Beat the Gottman Method in Relationships with Zach Brittle (Part 2) 10.09.2026 24min

  You've done the date nights and the "we just need to communicate more" talks, and somehow you're still two polite roommates who happen to share a bed. In Part 2 with therapist Zach Brittle, you'll understand why more communication and more compromise were never the fix — and how two disarmingly simple rules, starting with agreeing on what sex is actually for and what counts, take the pressure out of every initiation so a "no" stops landing like a verdict. Turn those rules into one honest, five-minute conversation tonight with the free Yes, No, Maybe Checklist at mylibidodoc.com/freebies.

  The 2 Rules That Beat the Gottman Method in Relationships with Zach Brittle (Part 1) 03.09.2026 24min

  One of you wants more, and has no idea how to bring it up without it landing as pressure or getting quietly turned down, so lately nobody reaches at all. By the end of this episode you'll understand why almost every touch has started to read as a demand for sex, and how two questions...what is it for, and what actually counts, take the pressure off far faster than trying harder does.

  Is Your Marriage Stuck in the Same Fight? with Dr. Jessica Higgins Part 2 27.08.2026 21min

  You've had this fight so many times you could script both sides, and you're starting to wonder if the two of you are just fundamentally incompatible. In Part 2, you'll learn why that recurring argument almost never means what it appears to — and how naming the fear underneath your own frustration can change the conversation before you've said a word to your partner. When you're ready to translate all of that into something you can actually do together, grab Dr. Diane's free Yes, No, Maybe Checklist at mylibidodoc.com/yesnomaybe — a low-pressure way to start saying out loud what's been going unspoken.

  t's the same argument on a loop — different night, same wall, same silence afterward — and you keep thinking if you could just explain it better this time, it would finally land. By the end of this episode you'll see the fight was never really about the dishes or the schedule; you're both running protective moves that quietly hurt the other, and once you name what's underneath, the same conversation that used to blow up can actually move mountains.

  You lie next to someone you love and feel more like co-managers of a household than a couple — and you couldn't name the day it started. In this second part, Dr. Diane Mueller reframes the resentment you've been quietly swallowing as a warning light on the dashboard, not a death sentence — and shows how handing each other just 3% of your week patches the small leaks before the boat takes on real water. Before your next date night, grab her free Yes, No, Maybe Checklist (mylibidodoc.com/yesnomaybe) and use it to finally say the small things out loud — the ones that pile up when they stay unspoken.

  Do this for 3% of the day to save your marriage with Monica Tanner Part 1 06.08.2026 24min

  You're not fighting — but you're not really reaching for each other either, and somewhere between the mortgage and the bedtimes the two of you started living like polite roommates who happen to share a bed. By the end of this episode you'll see the thing no one told you: "meeting in the middle" hasn't kept the peace — it's quietly made you both lose, and the way back isn't more compromise, it's getting curious about your partner again instead of managing them. If that curiosity is the part that's gone cold, start small and start solo — take the free Sex Code Language quiz to learn how you're wired and how your partner is, at mylibidodoc.com/freebies.

  Why You Can't Tell Your Husband What You Want Part 2 with James Bullard 30.07.2026 27min

  You're lying awake next to them wondering when reaching over became the hardest thing in the room — and whether asking out loud would fix it or finally break it. In this episode, Dr. Diane Mueller unpacks why a partner's "no" isn't a verdict, why most of the resentment between you is built from assumptions neither of you said out loud, and how non-sexual touch can rebuild the bridge before either of you has to be brave about anything bigger. If you want a way to start the conversation without it turning into a fight, grab Dr. Diane's free YES, NO, MAYBE Checklist at mylibidodoc.com/yesnomaybe — it gives you the language to say what you actually want, hear what they want, and find where you two still meet.

  Why You Can't Tell Your Husband What You Want Part 1 with James Bullard 23.07.2026 27min

  The longer you're married, the harder it gets to even identify what you want from each other — let alone say it out loud without it sounding like a complaint. This first episode breaks down why naming your own wants feels riskier than staying quiet, and gives you a simple method for turning years of unspoken frustration into language your partner can actually act on. Grab Dr. Diane's date night checklist at mylibidodoc.com/freebies to start that conversation this week instead of letting it sit for another year.

  You're lying six inches apart every night, and it still feels like the loneliest room in the house.
