My husband and I had a solid, collaborative, and intimate marriage. Our foundation was strong and we could envision what it would be like to go from good to great, and were on our way there...

However, suddenly, things started to feel strange to me. I experienced a disconnect in our marriage but couldn’t see a single reason why this was happening.

The cause, however, had nothing to do with a present-day occurrence; it was something from my husband’s past that was creating the disconnect in our marriage. He didn’t want it to. He didn’t even know it was. Nevertheless, it was definitely happening.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How I realized what was causing us to become disconnected
• What happened when I shared the theory with my husband
• Why challenging times with your spouse may have nothing to do with you
• A real client example of how past experiences can come up in your present

... and much more!

I’m hoping today’s episode opens your eyes to seeing challenging times with your spouse in a whole new light, and also poses the question to you: do you have feelings coming up that might belong to another time in your life?

The Intimate Marriage Podcast, With Intimacy Coach, Alexandra Stockwell, MD

As parents, we sometimes forget just how much our relationships, especially our relationship with our partner, impacts our children. On this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, I interview my nine-year-old son, Matthew. We have a very frank, unscripted conversation where I ask him questions about our family, his friends, and life in general. He shares some insightful thoughts about how the smallest hint of tension or disagreement between his parents can be upsetting and he offers advice on how he believes parents can help children “have a wonderful time”. Buckle up for a really sweet and unique conversation that I'm excited to share with you.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• [00:46] Introduction and explanation of today’s guest
• [04:55] Alexandra welcomes her son, Matthew to the interview
• [05:20] What’s it like being the youngest child in the family?
• [06:34] What makes the Stockwell family, the Stockwell family?
• [07:22] What do you mean by we are the “opposite of divorced?”
• [10:06] How children perceive parental tension
• [11:45] What’s it like having older siblings?
• [12:28] Advice for parents: How to help your children have a wonderful childhood
• [13:08] What have you learned about yourself from being a son and a brother?

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• It’s important to understand that what happens within your marital relationship will have an impact on your children.
• The more sensitive your child is the more they might perceive the simplest of tensions between you and your partner as a negative experience
• Matthew shares two important pieces of advice to parents on how to help kids have a wonderful childhood: challenge kids to grow and learn but don’t push too hard; and encourage children to connect with others but also let them learn to be content by themselves.

Matthew is Alexandra and her husband's 4th and youngest child, age 9 at the time of the interview. In the conversation, Matthew shares openly and honestly about being a member of the Stockwell family and shares insights on how important his parents relationship is for him.
