Do you long to feel more connected to your spouse? Do you wish for more fun and friendship in your marriage? Would you like to understand how you can protect and enhance your connection with your children? Did you know that relationship conflicts and discomfort most often stem from unmet attachment needs?
Saren recently attended a marriage workshop with her husband and found it to be so helpful that she invited Dr. Jeremy Boden – the therapist who conducted the workshop – to share some key principles on Power of Moms Radio.
In this episode, Jeremy shares some of the key principles of the “new science of love” and helps us learn how we can communicate more effectively, form more secure bonds, and break cycles of behavior that just aren’t working.

This episode showed up in my podcasts this morning and I am so grateful. This provided a much-needed perspective in my marriage along with resources to learn more. It really does help to reframe my husband’s withdrawal as protective of our relationship rather than a lack of caring about our relationship (I definitely pursue and he withdraws). And this really does provide a great starting point for getting on the same page which is something we have struggled with lately.
I really appreciate that there are so many podcast episodes and articles here that I find at just the right moment.
So glad you found this to be helpful! Thanks for listening and for letting us know that our podcast is really helping you. Keep listening and spread the word so other moms can benefit as well!
This was the perfect timing to listen to this with my husband. Great information and starting point for unifying.
Just listened to this podcast this morning and it was so perfect. I can’t wait to read the recommended book. And it sounds like an approach that my husband will be able to get behind. Thank you for this!
